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.
Edit:
opening both the RuneLite.AppImage & RuneLite.jar does the ol opens and closes and reopens itself again...
And I have read/write + execute as program enabled... surely I messed something up?
opens closes and opens runelite
echo "%command%"; /mnt/Games_Linux/RuneScape/RuneLite.AppImage
"%command%"; /mnt/Games_Linux/RuneScape/RuneLite.AppImage
/mnt/Games_Linux/RuneScape/RuneLite.AppImage
/mnt/Games_Linux/RuneScape/RuneLite.AppImage # %command%
/mnt/Games_Linux/RuneScape/RuneLite.AppImage "%command%"
opens runelite and then doesn't reopen?????
/mnt/Games_Linux/RuneScape/RuneLite.AppImage %command%
opens original launcher
echo java -jar /mnt/Games_Linux/RuneScape/RuneLite.jar
java -jar /mnt/Games_Linux/RuneScape/RuneLite.jar
java -jar "/mnt/Games_Linux/RuneScape/RuneLite.jar"
-jar /mnt/Games_Linux/RuneScape/RuneLite.jar
%command% java -jar /mnt/Games_Linux/RuneScape/RuneLite.jar
I would try
/home/zidane/Downloads/RuneLite.AppImage # %command%as the launch option.To break down your original launch options:
echois a program to output any text that follows it%command%is whatever Steam would have used originally to start the game. If this is not used in the launch options it would be in front of the options.;means "end of command"./home/zidane/Downloads/RuneLite.AppImageis of course the command to launch RuneLiteIn my commandline arguments

Tried a few different ways and got nowhere ;( without the echo it still does the open and close and reopen thing. Did I fuck up my steam install or something?? I did have issues with marvel rivals yesterday with it not wanting to open... Hmmm
I tried using the above command and had the same issue until I went to runelite.appimage > right click > properties > permissions > check "allow executing file as program"
Though I still can't sign in since I have a jagex account. 🤷♀️ Got it to launch though!
I got it to launch but it's doing the open and closing and opening which is confusing steam :^( added an edit with a bunch of launch commands I've tried
