Description

it would be great if there was a way to auto start a selected game after update
or right now if there is no update.
Here are some options to implement this:

  • have a command line argument for it that way it can easily disabled but enabling is of couse a bit more involved
  • just have a checkbox for it (maby have a short start delay of 5 seconds where users can disable the autostart)
    Probably the best option

I don't mind what you do, it would just be great to have it.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing the launcher’s update and no-update flow, then find how the selected game and launcher settings are represented. Define whether autostart uses a command-line option or checkbox, and consider the proposed delay; done means the selected game starts reliably after either flow with a way to cancel if needed.
