steamtinkerlaunch mo2 game shortcut (sopuli.xyz)

Hi all. I been searching and testing things all day and haven’t had luck.

I was able to setup fallout tale of two wastelands on Linux mint and it runs great when I run it via MO2. But I want to make a desktop shortcut for it.

The desktop shortcut button in MO2 makes a shortcut in the compatdata C. Copying it to my desktop and running it lauches protontricks asking me which game to run. I only have 3 and NV as options here and neither do anything.

If I run steamtinkerlaunch to create desktop icon nothing happens.

I have to run steamtinkerlaunch mo2 start then run TTW from within MO2.

It’s not a big deal but if anyone has ideas to get a working desktop shortcut that’d be nice.

I also may want to do this on my steam deck later which means I’ll need a way to run it from gaming mode which I imagine would be a similar issue.

If you ever plan to try again. Steamtinkerlauncher made things immensely easier. Does all the work for you !

I gave up on compiling yad. It won't install otherwise.

Did you try pacstall? I think I did pacstall -I steamtinkerlaunch-git I had major problems getting yad working too but pacstall did all the work for me !
