GlosSI VS IronyModManager

Try installing glossi on your host system and running it though that https://github.com/Alia5/GlosSI

GlosSI

If it’s a “non-steam” game, like Diablo IV, I use https://github.com/Alia5/GlosSI to act as the non-steam game for the launcher.

Download GlosSI installer from https://github.com/Alia5/GlosSI (when asked to during installation, install ViGEM driver as well)

Check out GloSI and it's Playnite extension, might be easier to assign input per game from Playnite

There are apps that act as middleware between Steam and these 3rd party launchers that can help. I use GlosSI.

You simply can't because there are no Drivers for it and Steam.exe is acting like the driver itself so that even projects like https://github.com/Alia5/GlosSI are piggybacking on Steam.exe's existence. You may try combining that GlosSI + SteamCMD (command line version) for a minimal impact on your system but you can't avoid installing Steam.

Now I assume you are running it through steam to make use of steam input. The workaround to run the launcher independently and still use steam input is to use glossi . Here’s a YouTube video on how to set it up: youtube .

While I'm not currently using it, and you don't have to use for this mod collection, if you are looking for a way out of the paradox launcher I would strongly recommend the Irony Mod Manager for Paradox Games! You can read more about it here: https://github.com/bcssov/IronyModManager

I think I'm going to cheer you up, you can use this to "steal" and this to manage.

Irony Mod Manager has a conflict checker. It will catch most of your problems.

Dowser.exe, the launcher can be used, start the launcher, log into your Paradox account there and on the Paradox mods website. Once you're on the website you can subscribe to mods. Additionally, I would use the IronyModManager for enabling and disabling mods, personal experience is that mods tend to work better when using it than the regular one with the cracked game version. Not all mods will worked on the cracked version sadly or present on the Paradox mods website.

And there are mod managers like irony or Paradoxos. And pdx-unlimiter can also start pdx games and automatically activate the mods which were used on a given save game. Though I don't know how well any of these tools handle the DLC issue.

Use Irony Mod Manager. Make sure to check compatibility/the mods are updated.

Sadly the Irony Mod Manager is no longer supported and is already showing problems with the newest launcher. You must either find someone who can take over the project or install mods manually.
