Sorry if this is the wrong place for this I just figured maybe someone has experience with launching a non-steam game as a steam game through launch options.

I’m trying to play RuneLite through Old School RuneScape (number go up make feel goooood). My issue is that it loads for a second or two then closes…

What I’ve done:

  • Went into desktop mode and downloaded RuneLite.AppImage from RuneLite.net
  • Marked RuneLite.AppImage as an executable
  • Launched RuneLite and set setting according to Reddit user squeezeme_juiceme here (probably not relevant)
  • Closed RuneLite to save settings (also probably not relevant, just recanting my process)
  • Set my launch options as /home/deck/Downloads/RuneLite.AppImage ; killall -9 RuneLite.AppImage # %console%
  • cried because it’s not working

    If your command goes in that order

    Downloads/RuneLite.AppImage ; killall -9 RuneLite.AppImage

    Then you are first opening it and then closing it. Maybe get rid of the killall part or place it at the beginning?

      Forgot to mention I tried without the kill command first and it does the same thing :^(

      Also, from my reading it’s needed so when I hit exit game it closes rather than me having to reboot the steam deck
