Solved: 8 Years, 3 Weeks ago Steam for Linux: Amnesia not taking launch options

Hello,

basicly, Amnesia is not taking launch options
Amnesia: The Dark Descent (right click) -> Properties -> Set Launch Options...
when i tried to run Winter Nights custom story (wn_config/main_init.cfg).
However running manualy from prompt, it worked.

I wrote an issue report on GitHub: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-f...issues/584

I was not sure if Steam's fault or Amnesia's issue.

I made an investigation today and realized that Steam is runnig run_steam.sh which is not using $1 variable (or any other). So I rewrote it:
-    ./Launcher.bin
+    ./Launcher.bin $1
and it started taking parameter as it should.

$@ is working as well.

My edited file in attachement.

Could you please fix this?

And little off-topic: Is commenting out 64bit version in run_steam.sh necessery? Because it seems it's running well. (enabled in my attached file) Also comment:
#  Steam claims they are going to put us in the app directory.
seems like forgotten.

If it works manually, then it's a Steam issue.

There were a few reports of issues running the 64bit version through steam so I had disabled it (since steam 4 linux is ONLY 32bit currently). Also, note there is NO steam overlay with 64bit either.

I've added "$@" to the launcher script so it'll accept launch arguments, and added a check for a file named "i_want_64".. simply touch that file and it'll force enabled 64bit for you.
