Run a script when entering/exiting a game
I think I might be overcomplicating things but for the life of me I can't seem to figure this out.
Bazzite installed in a SteamDeck OLED. I want to run a script when I execute a specific game and the same one with different parameters when I exit it. The purpose is some home automation stuff.
I thought "Okay, this shouldn't be hard". Checked
$PATH and there's /home/<my-user>/.local/bin and also noticed that /home/deck is a symlink to /home/<my-user>. So I wrote a script that uses curl to send a payload and placed it there. Marked it as executable (and eventually just went full on 777) and tested it in the terminal. All good. Works.
Then I went to game mode -> Game -> Launch options -> script.sh true; %command%; script.sh false. But it doesn't do anything. The game launches yeah but the script doesn't seem to ever get executed, or at least I don't see the incoming webhook call on the other side.
Tried:
* script.sh <value>
* /home/<my-user>/.local/bin/script.sh <value>
* /home/deck/.local/bin/script.sh <value>
* ~/.local/bin/script.sh <value>
* All of the above but with sh -c "examples above here".
Any hints on how I can troubleshoot this?.12 replies

Steamdeck OLED - No HDR toggle?
Hey, maybe a really dumb question but all the googling I do takes me back to info from 6+months ago.
Is HDR working in the Steamdeck OLED build? I picked the Gnome one. Asking because I don't see any HDR toggles in the settings in game mode or any hint to it anywhere.
I can understand not working in desktop mode because gnome but game mode uses gamescope which should handle it properly, doesn't it?
