Total War launcher has broken all of my TW games

Hey guys,

Recently I've gotten the itch to play some total war games again. Mainly, Empire, Shogun 2, Napoleon and Rome 2.

Out of the list I just named, I can only launch Napoleon. When I click play to start the games on steam, they all open the TW launcher. I click start on the launcher to launch whatever game, and then the launcher disappears and the game is no longer playing on steam.

The only game that doesn't prompt the launcher to open is Napoleon, and it is the only game that works.

I can't find any fixes. I've deleted files in app data, reinstalled games on steam, verified game caches. All to no avail.

If anyone could please help me and give me some advice I'd highly appreciate it.

I feel like creative assembly have taken my money for products and have abandoned the support for them after leaving them in an unplayable state.

I'm peeved.
