[Linux] No game launcher (WAI, workarounds suggested in thread)

[ssorgatem]

I have purchased most of the DLCs (except for some portraits and music), and they are enabled in the game, but I would like to disable some of them for some playthroughs. I've read that the way to it is unticking a checkbox from the launcher... the only problem is that there's no such launcher.

Am I missing something? Is there any other way to disable an specific DLC?

Theres no launcher for the linux version yet, but hopefully they will fix that in a future patch.

Untill then you have 2 choices, either manually copy the dlc you don't want to use in to a different directory and delete it from /dlc,
or there is an unofficial mod that replicates the launcher for linux here: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?660805-Qt-Alternative-CK2-Launcher,
theres also another similar one somewhere, but I can't find the link for it right now.

The other unofficial launcher is here: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?660643-Linux-Linux-game-launcher

And of course there is a third option (which is how the launchers work): starting the game with the -exlude_dlc parameter, e.g.:

./ck2 -exclude_dlc=dlc/dlc007.dlc

would start the game without Sword of Islam. You can check which file corresponds to which DLC by opening them with a text editor.

Nice, I didn't know about the exclude option.

I assume the logic is that if you do not exclude any DLCs, it loads all the DLCs in the dlc/-directory. The weird thing is, it loads no DLCs for me.

Have you tried using either of the fanmade launchers? And did you launch the game from Steam client at least once since last buying a new DLC?

Double check if your DLC folder is DLC or dlc. If it's DLC, rename it to dlc.

The trick is to use the -forcedlc flag when running CK2.
