Shortcuts to launch game with different launch options in Steam
I am trying to create shortcuts for Arma 3 so I can quickly launch the game with and without mods, so I need to create at least 2 shortcuts, one for vanilla and one for mods.
But when I created the shortcut with Steam, I noticed it's a .url file. I managed to add the launch options using this:
URL=steam://rungameid/107410//-nosplash -world=empty -mod=@......
What I don't like about this is that when launching the game using that .url file shortcut, Steam will open a warning message saying Allow Arma 3 to open with optional command line "-nosplash -world=empty........"?
Is there a way to disable that warning or a better way to create multiple steam shortcuts with different launch options?
Solution 1:
You can skip the message by using
C:\Path\To\Steam.exe -applaunch 107410 -nosplash -and -so -on
(Change the path to match your Steam.exe path)
The warning message exists for the URL so websites cannot launch games for you using parameters you do not want.
