I found a guide on Steam Communities for launching Dune Awakening directly without the Funcom launcher, but it’s Windows-focused. I’m trying to make it work on Linux using Proton. My current launch arguments in Steam are: `/home/desez2tpunk/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/DuneAwakening/DuneSandbox/Binaries/Win64/DuneSandbox_BE.exe -nosplash -BattlEye -continuesession %command%`. However, I’m having issues getting it to launch. When I use the arguments, it sometimes opens a command prompt that closes too fast for me to read. I’ve tried different Proton variants, changing launch options, and I believe I made some progress with a specific launch option that seems to work for now. However, -continuesession isn’t functioning as expected. Any troubleshooting help would be appreciated! My setup is an AMD CPU and NVidia GPU running CachyOS.

There’s a simpler way to handle this! In the launch properties, you can use this command: `eval $(echo “%command% -nosplash” | sed -e ‘s|/Launcher/FuncomLauncher.exe|/DuneSandbox/Binaries/Win64/DuneSandbox_BE.exe|g’)`. This tidies up the arguments you need. Also, just a heads-up: `-nosplash` is only there to skip the BattleEye window, and you might not need `-BattlEye` since the _BE.exe already handles it. The `-continuesession` flag seems to be more specific to Conan Exiles, so don’t stress if it’s not working here.
I appreciate the tip! I’m still learning about bash commands like ‘eval’ and ‘sed.’ Would it be okay to include this in my original post and credit you for the help? And yes, I also noticed ‘continuesession’ isn’t functioning as it should.
