Good evening! Games from the store are being added like this: image

Btw, your plugin is fantastic! Thanks for it!

Actually, I just noticed that I can make it work putting a syslink from explorer inside Playnite folder. Is that the intended way to do it? Thanks in advance!

Same issue here. None of my Xbox Game Pass titles work with this extension. @ferrazpedro, were you able to find a way to fix it? image

For Windows Store apps, it looks like Playnite is creating a play action of explorer.exe with a shell: URL argument like shell:AppsFolder\1ED5AEA5.AngryBirdsFriends_p2gbknwb5d8r2!App.

I can update my extension to support this special case as if it were a URL (if you use shell:AppsFolder\1ED5AEA5.AngryBirdsFriends_p2gbknwb5d8r2!App as a URL play action, it can be opened by Steam correctly.)

However, this won't enable the Steam Overlay to work, it doesn't work for URLs. There are a few things online saying it's possible to get the Steam Overlay working with Windows Store games, but I don't quite understand it yet. If you have a list of steps that do work with the overlay, please let me know how.

Playtime tracking might not work either.
