var serviceProvider = sc.BuildServiceProvider();

// Search for Forces of Corruption at the specified directory
var gameFactory = services.GetRequiredService<IGameFactory>();
var detector = new DirectoryGameDetector(fs.DirectoryInfo.New("YOUR_GAME_DIR"), serviceProvider);
var game = gameFactory.CreateGame(detector.Detect(GameType.Foc), CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);


// Create a client and launch the game with WINDOWED arugment.
var client = services.GetRequiredService<IGameClientFactory>().CreateClient(game);
using var gameArgs = new GameArgumentsBuilder().Add(new WindowedArgument());
client.Play(gameArgs.Build());
