To get Steam to launch FSO directly, you just change the FSO filenames for the launcher and exe to FreeSpace2.exe and FS2.exe right? Or would that not work with Steam's screenshots? Can someone try?
you need rename only launcher to "freespace2.exe". don't need rename fs2.exe.
and if you using wxlauncher.
inside wxlauncher's "bin" folder put to steam's freespace2 root and rename the "freespace2.exe".
and resources wxlauncher's "bin" folder put put to steam's freespace2 root.
it will works.
eg)
steam/steamapps/common/freespace 2
l- wxlauncher.exe(rename to freespace2.exe)
l- registry_helper.exe
l- msvcm90.dll
l- msvcp90.dll
l- msvcr90.dll
l- Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest
l- resources
l- (contain files)
