Add Button to start the Game #24

This would be wonderful for us Steam Deck guys.

We can use the Steam Launch Arguments to launch a diffrent .exe in the Game Folder. That can be used to start the Fix. But starting the game afterwards is a bit tricky.

So, a Button to start the Game inside the fix would solve all our Problems.

My solutions come in many forms. Sometimes it's a DLL injection or a patcher so that the game is fixed either permanently or until the next update, but I think you're referring to the trainers. A few of them can be run before the game, but the most reliable way is to require that they are run after the game.

There is a way to script a delayed launch of the trainer after the game (see the auto launcher here, all the credits go to the original script author you'll see there).

It's certainly not impossible to code in a button that would launch a Steam app by its ID, but I try to make my solutions as universal as possible, so having that for those who play on Game Pass, Epic, Origin, GOG or what have you, is definitely not a viable idea.

You might find this useful though.

I'll consider documenting it for other games if I end up making more fixes this way.
