Sup gamers.
Super new to Linux gaming after a brief stint in 2011-2012 with Ubuntu before I shorted my laptops battery by ripping the screen off (woops)

Anywho, I’m trying to run runelite through steam as old school runescape with the launch options: echo “%command%”; /home/zidane/Downloads/RuneLite.AppImage

First off, no idea what any of the options are doing and searching online is no help so I can’t fix it myself…

But this is my problem… The game (runelite not osrs) opens briefly once, closes, and then opens a new runelite which I’m assuming is making steam no longer think that it’s running old school RuneScape? I’m able to play but I want steam to know I’m playing so number go up on steam while number go up in game.

    Don’t use “echo”. That’s akin to saying “Print everything after this echo command to the terminal”, so it’s just outputting the stuff after echo as if it were text.

      That’s what I thought but when I don’t have the echo in the launch options it just opens the normal osrs client instead of RuneLite… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
