Description:

This new launcher for Star Wars Empire at War: Forces of Corruption is designed to work with any version of the game released including disk version, GoG and most importantly Steam. It will list all installed mods and allows you to launch the game or any mod. This way there won't be any need having multiple shortcuts on your desktop or struggle with Steam launch options anymore.

  1. Extract the 'FoC Launcher.exe' anywhere you like (e.g. onto your desktop). There is no need to place it into your game's directory. (unless you have multiple installations of FoC on your PC)
  2. Run the 'FoC Launcher.exe'
    2.1 When launching, Windows might ask you whether you are sure to run a downloaded application. Please confirm. It won't ask you again afterwards.

  • Supports Steam, Disk, Disk Gold, GoG, (Origin is untested)
  • Automatic game and installed mods detection.

  • Supports showing mod icons and other metadata like installed mod version.
  • Automatic updates for new features.
