Hello everyone,

I know that it is possible to pass start params via steam deeplinks. For example, to connect right after game start we can do this:

steam://run/730/+connect 1.2.3.4:555/

or the same urlencoded:

steam://run/730/%2Bconnect%201.2.3.4%3A555/

And it works fine.


But I can't pass "-allow_third_party_software" param via this mechanism.

steam://run/730/%2Dallow_third_party_software/ is not working

But enabling this option via checkbox in GUI works correctly. Why, any ideas?



PS: Why some params are prefixed with minus (-allow_third_party_software), but some are prefixed with plus (+connect ...)?

Thanks in advance!

Here's a list of passable parameters - https://developer.valvesoftware.com/...owser_protocol

You're specifying +allow_third_party_software with %2B, you would need %2D. However, since this is a client console command for launching, it won't work regardless I believe.
