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
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
I’d try adding it to steam if possible and trying to launch it from there. I can try getting it to work in a few hours.
I literally just renamed the appimage to Old School Runescape, right-clicked it and pressed add to steam, and started playing on gaming mode. Is that what you were looking for? Just the name change?
