Starting CS1 from the launcher vs Steam Help & Support (PC)

I've tried to launch CS1 from the launcher on my desktop but it says I dont have any Paradox games installed but when I start the launcher from Steam, it opens and shows CS1 in the laucher. Anyone else have this?

Happy new years btw

No, I haven't seen this.

Have you verified the integrity of the game files via Steam?

This happens to me as well. Im pretty sure you have make a paradox account and then link it to your steam account. It should come up with cities skylines then. I personally don't have any other paradox games so I haven't bothered with an account. In fact I actually changed the steam launch options to skip the paradox launcher entirely when I launch the game.
