How to create Wine Steam game launcher for Steam (LInux)

axelectrik · 2016-01-08 03:42:04

I have the following script for launching all my games

 #!/bin/bash

export GAME=$1
export PATHY="/files/games/"
export WINEVD="wine explorer /desktop=$1,1920x1080"
export TRICK="win7 glsl=disabled"
export COM="wine"

# GAMMING TWEAKS
  echo "Setting up.."
  export WINEDEBUG=-all
  export LD_PRELOAD="libpthread.so.0 libGL.so.1"
  export __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1
  echo "Setup complete. Starting..."

# STEAM GAME FIX
  function steamgame {
      export WINEPREFIX=/home/axelectrik/.wine-steam
      COM=$WINEVD
      winetricks $TRICK
      $COM C:\\\\windows\\\\command\\\\start.exe steam://rungameID/$GAMEID
}

However when making a launcher for steam I would try everything possible but it won't run the game directly.
It opens steam (Iget the annoying steamwebhelper.exe error :S ) and that's all, I would have to open the game from the Steam (wine) window but won't open automatically.

This is an example of the .desktop file I'm using for Steam:

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Assassins Creed
Type=Application
Exec=game assassins

The game automatically opens running either

game assassins

or

xdg-open assassins.desktop

... but never through Steam

Arch Linux
