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
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?
