Loading profile on steam game launch #11

Hi,

First of all thank you very much for this awesome software. It really works without an issue.

My only issue here is about mentioned line in Readme file:

You can configure game launchers to run oversteer to load a profile or change settings so that it automatically configures the wheel when the game runs.

But I couldn't find it from --help on how to do this for steam games. I have a profile named "gg" and i want to load it as soon as i launch Assetto Corsa Comp. on steam (via proton). I tried oversteer -p gg but that didn't work

Thanks

This is not specific to this application so I didn't include any details. Oversteer must be run before the game executable. For Steam you should write the following line in the launch options:

oversteer -p gg /dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_G29_Driving_Force_Racing_Wheel-event-joystick && %command%

Don't forget to specify the path to your wheel device. The second part of the command launches the game.
