Steam for Linux: Amnesia not taking launch options - Drozd - 01-18-2013
Hello,
basicly, Amnesia is not taking launch options
Amnesia: The Dark Descent (right click) -> Properties -> Set Launch Options...
when i tried to run Winter Nights custom story (wn_config/main_init.cfg).
However running manualy from prompt, it worked.
I wrote an issue report on GitHub: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/584
I was not sure if Steam's fault or Amnesia's issue.
I made an investigation today and realized that Steam is runnig run_steam.sh which is not using $1 variable (or any other). So I rewrote it:
Code:
- ./Launcher.bin
+ ./Launcher.bin $1$@ is working as well.
My edited file in attachement.
Could you please fix this?
And little off-topic: Is commenting out 64bit version in run_steam.sh necessery? Because it seems it's running well. (enabled in my attached file) Also comment:
Code:
# Steam claims they are going to put us in the app directory.RE: Steam for Linux: Amnesia not taking launch options - Your Computer - 01-18-2013
If it works manually, then it's a Steam issue.

There were a few reports of issues running the 64bit version through steam so I had disabled it (since steam 4 linux is ONLY 32bit currently). Also, note there is NO steam overlay with 64bit either.
I've added "$@" to the launcher script so it'll accept launch arguments, and added a check for a file named "i_want_64".. simply touch that file and it'll force enabled 64bit for you.
