hamilton162 Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 I don't see how this is any different to the soution given in the known issues thread :confused: because you need to add in the -applaunch 10540 after the fm.exe to make it work properly. Any more queries, please post. , so we are both as confused as each other Yeah, pretty much Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 because you need to add in the -applaunch 10540 after the fm.exe to make it work properly. Any more queries, please post. Well, obviously because the applaunch bit is for FM - if it wasn't there, you'd just be windowing steam itself The applaunch bit is in place before editing the target field anyway, so I'm not sure what your point is.
