Game Does Not Start on Steam #16

Open Unknow0059 opened 4 years ago

Unknow0059 commented 4 years ago

Reproduction:

  1. Select game in Playnite
  2. Create non-Steam shortcut for selected game
  3. Restart Steam
  4. Start game in Playnite

The game launches just fine if I do it from Steam, with overlay and indicator. The same goes for Playnite, except that Steam does not recognize the game and thus I don't get an overlay nor a "Now Playing" indicator.

We need more information. From what you've told, it looks like the shortcut wasn't created on Steam, even after restarting it.

This is also an issue which happens with me sometimes. In this case you need to reset things in the Actions tab and try again. But if the shortcut was indeed created, then try entering Big Picture mode and see if Overlay is activated for the shortcut.
