In order to launch this separate copy, you'll need to launch it outside of the usual platform launcher.

- For Steam, navigate to the `\Engine\Binaries\Win64` subfolder of your backup copy and create a text file named `steam_appid.txt` with the file contents `526870`.
527
+
To launch the game, run the `FactoryGameSteam.exe` file in the root folder of your backup copy.
528
+
If you have Steam open, it will still say you are playing, but your backup will still be separate and not require Steam.
529
+
- For Epic, you will need to run the game executable with launch arguments to prevent it from talking to the Epic Games launcher.
530
+
Create a Windows shortcut pointing to the game executable and add the `-EpicPortal` and `-NoSteamClient` arguments.
