Like the topic asks, how do you bypass the launcher?

I'm sorry, I don't understand what "the launcher" is.... :unsure:

When you launch the game from Steam, it brings up the launcher. The thing with "Play Game", "Options", "Data Files", etc. That's the launcher. I want to bypass that because it keeps detecting my video configuration and resetting it to values I don't want.

No clue, but you can make settings stick by editing the Fallout_default.ini in the New Vegas install folder. Also settings set in the launcher seem to stick.

I got help from another forum. This is how you bypass the launcher. Make a batch file with this in it:

set SteamAppID=22380 FalloutNV.exe

Then launch the game from the batch file.
