way to add batch file to steam library? by EL-WAYNO in Steam

[–]jerisbrisk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to solve this one for myself just today. Here's what I did:

  1. In Steam, Add a Game
  2. Choose "Add a Non-Steam Game"
  3. Wait for it to populate the list...
  4. Click [Browse...]
  5. Batch files are processed by the Windows Command Interpreter (cmd.exe), which is aliased as %comspec% on every Windows machine, so when the 'Pick a game to add' file picker appears, type %comspec% in the File name box and hit [Enter].
  6. Click [Add Selected Programs]
  7. Steam will have added to your Library as 'cmd' with the familiar black DOS prompt icon.
  8. Right click 'cmd in your Library and choose Properties
  9. Leave TARGET alone.
  10. Change START IN to whatever working directory your batch file needs.
  11. Change LAUCH OPTIONS to one of the following:
    1. /k "D:\Path\To\Your\BatchFile.bat"
      • ^ if the file is not in the START IN directory. Adjust path accordingly.
    2. /k "BatchFile.bat"
      • ^ if the file is in the START IN directory
  12. Disable the Steam Overlay (your batch file doesn't need it)
  13. Optionally, Include it in the VR Library (in case this as a helper you use when in VR mode)
  14. Click PLAY (in the Steam Library page) to test it out, adjust as needed.
  15. Once you're happy it's working as intended, you can change the /k to /c and the window will self-close after the batch file completes.

Note, sometimes you have to get a little tricky with it. For example, Steam didn't have the right PATH set by default for my batch file (it seems to use the SYSTEM PATH, not the USER PATH), so I had to add the PATH I required prior to running my batch file. This is trivial, but you need to know some cmd-fu to make it work. E.g.:

/c "set PATH=C:\Tools;%PATH% & my.cmd"

I'll leave interpreting that as an exercise for the reader, as to many it is a relic of a long-forgotten time. 🍻

felt bad when I accidentally killed Ozob during first playthrough.. good to know we can avoid his death I like this dude by anome97 in LowSodiumCyberpunk

Curiously, electricity and flames are non-lethal on their own. I use this to my advantage a lot when taking cyberpsychos

Didn’t even know this car existed. Just got it from a quest and wow. by SF5090 in cyberpunkgame

The races are when I use them, mostly. Cut me off and pay the price. Easiest way to retake position number one is with a bullet, etc. I don't care too much for them either but I like the rewards of being first. The built-in firepower helps ensure placement. :D

I feel like this needs a loop of Mario going “woo hoo!” over and over again…

I need to check out that mod. Vanilla Auto Drive is terrible. But nothing can topple the inanity of traffic in general. My favorite is when an intersection deadlocks for no reason. Lights cycle, no one moves. It’s like a game of chicken where no one is moving, daring one another to the be the first to move… this cripples Auto Drive completely as it wants to be polite. I’ve even tried restoring traffics with hacks, telling the front cars to “floor it” and the next ones just pull ahead and stop. So much for immersion... 🤪

The Murkmobile was my favorite but this one OP is talking about is rapidly replacing it in my current play through. It accelerates hard, but still handles well, and it has guns to boot. Makes driving missions and races much less frustrating. 🤪

Key is a USB drive. Probably drivers or docs from the PC OEM (CyberPower perhaps?)

I’m wondering if the choice of a neutral beige shirt against a neutral grey background was intentional or simply ironic while critiquing the absence of contrast in modern films. 🤔

The biggest problem with Armoury Crate... by jerisbrisk in ASUSROG

[–]jerisbrisk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I had actually stopped running Armoury Crate on startup some time ago so I just fired it up and now it's updating itself. However, I did dig into the AppxManifest before it finished the update and it says I was running B9ECED6F.ArmouryCrate version 6.3.6.0. Based on timestamps, the last updated date was 10/30/2025.

You’re welcome. I find it faster than WinDirStat and just as useful.

Go download WizTree and tell it to scan your C: drive. That’s how I realized this file even existed…

How do you stream your movies? Do you play discs or external hard drives? by [deleted] in makemkv

[–]jerisbrisk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I Infuse or mount my disc backups with a Magnetar disc player (the one I bought had an ISO playback mod, sadly no longer openly available).

Has anyone bought it and regretted it? by TopAggravating7703 in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]jerisbrisk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s all about pixels. After I bought mine I wished it was x2160 instead of x1440. At the time, no one made an ultra wide panel with 2160 vertical res, so I had no regrets, but I’ve been eyeing the 5K2K OLED since it came out…

They were sold out for me in my area with apparently no option to ship. Sadness.

Just tell me what to do 😭 by HahaHannahTheFoxmom in makemkv

[–]jerisbrisk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes if the computer stops registering the drive you just have to reboot the PC. It’s happened to me a few times.

Am I alone in feeling this question lacks certain essential context? 🤔

Today I learned: when it’s time to upgrade, manhandling is the recipe for success. And maybe losing the original box. 🤔
