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
They’re trying to make steam think they’re actually running osrs so it tracks their playtime. Steam doesn’t track playtime of nonsteam games.
I’d recommend a decky plugin. https://github.com/ma3a/SDH-PlayTime
But it is not saved on your account and I see the point now.
