Summary
Foundry is a new factory-management simulation game that utilizes the Paradox launcher for installing mods and as a general launchpad. However, the Paradox launcher causes specific Steam settings to stop working, such as '-popupwindow' which forces the game into borderless windowed mode. By disabling the launcher, users can enable these settings, as the game will bypass it. This may complicate Adding Mods; however, deleting the launch option will restore the launcher as usual.
How to Launch Foundry Without the Paradox Launcher
1. Right-click Foundry from the Steam Library and go to Manage > Browse local files.
2. Copy the file path from the Address Bar at the top of the window.
3. Open Foundry's Properties by pressing Right-click > Properties.
4. Paste the copied address into the Launch Options section.
5. Add the following to the end of the address: \Foundry.exe" %command% and add a quotation mark " at the beginning.
