Sunshine-SteamGameLauncher

Steam game launcher helper for Sunshine RemotePlay on Windows OSs.

Note

• The purpose of this tool was to make Steam Client launch the game like usual behavior instead of launching the executable file directly.
• If launching the steam game with steam://launch/<AppId>, steam://run/<AppId> and steam://rungameid/<AppId>, Moonlight may complain Something went wrong on your host PC when starting the stream with something about Make sure you don't have any DRM-protected content open on your host PC. To workaround this, set the main command of the application in Sunshine's setting to this tool's executable file (see Usage below for the command format).
• Currently the tool doesn't support cross-privilege, if the game requires Administration to launch, the tool has to be run as Admin, too. Otherwise, you don't need to (or rather, shouldn't) run the tool as Admin.

Usage

• Sunshine-SteamGameLauncher.exe <SteamAppId> <Optional: Executable File Name>

  • Sunshine-SteamGameLauncher.exe is the executable name of this tool, if you rename it to something else, please adjust the command accordingly.
  • <SteamAppId> is the numeric ID of the game, you can visit the game's store page and get the AppId from the store's URL (E.g: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2719150/=>AppId is 2719150).
  • <Optional: Executable File Name> is obviously Optional and can be omitted. If you specify this argument, the tool will search for the specified executable file name and wait until the said executable file exit, instead of auto-finding executable name (which sometimes finds wrong one).

• This is just an example, if you put the tool at another location or having different game's ID, please adjust those accordingly:

  • Example use D:\Tools\Sunshine-SteamGameLauncher.exe as the path of the tool.
  • Example use Holo X Break game, the game's Store URL is https://store.steampowered.com/app/2719150/Holo_X_Break/.
  • Configure Sunshine application as follow: Set main command to be "D:\Tools\Sunshine-SteamGameLauncher.exe" 2719150, or "D:\Tools\Sunshine-SteamGameLauncher.exe" 2719150 "Holo X Break.exe" if the tool can't find the correct executable file.
  • Save and done. Please pay attention to the double quotes " in the command, they're kind of neccessary to be there.
