I bought a new computer and when I run game_launcher, saintsrowthethird or saintsrowthethird_dx11, all I get is a blank light-gray region.  It seems to be about the same size as the window to pick which direct-x version that I saw on my old computer, the only click or keypress that does anything is ESC, which closes the gray rectangle.  The saintsrowthethird and saintsrowthethird_dx11 seem to start steam launching game_launcher, then exit themselves as the blank light-gray rectangle window's title is "Saints Row: The Launcher".  Is there any way to start the exes without the launcher?
