Bypass launcher and skip intro videos

Run the gmae executable with command line arguments[2]
Note that the default launch command runs the launcher, not the game executable. Apply the procedure to <path-to-game>\XCOM-Chimera-Squad\Binaries\Win64\xcom.exe.
  1. Add command line arguments -review (disables debug mode) and -nostartupmovies (disables logo movies).
  2. If after disabling debug mode red screen errors still appear, add -noredscreens.
Use launcher with alternate command line arguments[3]

Enclose individual command line parameters with -game-50546="PARAMETER1" -game-50546="PARAMETER2", where PARAMETER is the command line parameter normally passed to the executable (e.g. -allowconsole).

The game id number in -game-5046 to use is obtained from config.json file in the Launcher directory.
