Disable the launcher
Why
I'd rather say why not! It doesn't bring anything but waste your time when launching the game, as well as waste network resources by sending your information to paradox.
How to disable
Right click Cities Skylines 2 in your library, then click on "Properties"


Now change the launch command.


Windows
Thanks to @intrinsica for providing a fix for windows.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Cities Skylines II\Cities2.exe" %command%
If you have the game installed on another drive instead of the default steam location, you need to right click on Cities Skylines 2 in steam, Manage -> Browse Local files and copy the path (remember to add \Cities2.exe at the end).

Linux
$(echo %command% | sed -r "s/proton waitforexitandrun .*/proton waitforexitandrun/") "$STEAM_COMPAT_INSTALL_PATH/Cities2.exe"

Now the game should start directly.

Is there a way to confirm PDX is not connected?

Also I use D for CS2 on one machine.
When I apply D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Cities Skylines II\Cities2.exe
No commas no other characters or punctuation the game launches (understanably) with the "cannot find local directory" which can be clicked past and runs fine after that.
How to confirm PDX is not collecting data?

@intrinsica thank you for providing the fix, I have updated the guide accordingly. Seems like steam on windows doesn't like relative paths for this.

@WesterDrive you can put the additional parameters after the %command%. Seems like you will need to use @intrinsica's solution below for windows as the one I have provided does not work.

Can multiple commands be entered into the launch options field? For example, could this command be used with -developerMode?

Specifically Windows 11 if it matters.

On a Windows 11 machine, I was not able to use the relative path as shown. However, I was successful when I used the following absolute path instead: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Cities Skylines II\Cities2.exe" %command%
Note the use of quotes and backslashes. Your path may be different depending on how you installed Steam.
