Steam Compatibility Tool
stl can also be used as Steam Compatibility Tool, simply by using the stl built-in Command Line options:
-
stl compat add(adds stl under compatibilitytools.d/SteamTinkerLaunch) -
stl compat del(deletes compatibilitytools.d/SteamTinkerLaunch) -
stl compat (get)(checks the state of compatibilitytools.d/SteamTinkerLaunch)
If add is selected and stl is started from a different path than before, the symlink will be automatically updated.
(as usual, when a Steam Compatibility Tool was added, Steam needs to be restarted to make the added Tool available)
All programs used as custom Compatibility Tool (of course including stl) are started without the Steam Linux Runtime!
For every game using any Compatibility Tool, Steam downloads the Windows version, so if you want to use stl with a linux game, use the Launch Option!
(It doesn't make any sense, but a game also works, when stl is set both as Launch Option and as Steam Compatibility Tool)
Of course you're using this tool at your own risk and you're responsible which 3rd party programs you launch with it.
