@smokedog: I dont think you can bypass the launcher. I believe Vorpx wont hook unless you use it, and it’s installed in the default directory. Ralf may be able to corroborate this.
@Rodders: Vorpx uses injection dlls that are indistinguishable from hacks/cheats, so battleye will automatically kick you from servers that have it enabled. You can use the filter to isolate non-battleye servers, and play those ones only. The tradeoff is cheaters possibly playing in them as well.
