I'm trying to write a bat to start the game.

Games installed via Steam cannot be launched directly by calling .exe . Therefore, I am trying to run through Steam.

I tried to use a command like steam://run/12345 , but it does not work.

  • start steam://rungameid/246620 . I will transfer to the answer, if the question is re-opened. - PashaPash ♦

The team can be spied by creating a shortcut for the game on the desktop.

To start the url (not only steam:// , but with any protocol) from the command line, you can use start:

 start steam://rungameid/246620

    I was always surprised by the command line under Windows ... You can write such a bat-file to start the game

     @ECHO OFF set cmd="C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe <game>" for /f %%i in ('%cmd%')

      Try this bat script:

      start "path to steam.exe" "path to .exe game"

      Example:

      start "C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Steam \ Steam.exe" "C: \ Users \ MyName \ Desktop \ game.exe"
