### Non-Steam shortcuts
24+
As of 2024-12-27,
25+
non-Steam games added as shortcuts in Steam won't work with the above method.
26+
Instead, you have to flip the target and launch option fields like so:
27+
28+
* Set the `target` to `C:\ludusavi.exe` (path to your Ludusavi executable)
29+
* Set the launch options to `wrap --name "GAME NAME" --gui -- "C:\path\to\game.exe"`
30+
31+
On the Steam Deck in game mode,
32+
using the Steam overlay to quit the game will also quit the Ludusavi wrapper,
33+
preventing the post-game prompt to back up the save data.
34+
To avoid this, you should use the game's built-in quit option instead.
35+
Currently, this has only been confirmed to happen in game mode, not desktop mode or Big Picture.
