currently not possible to configure an exe with custom arguments, i'll consider adding it in the C rewrite if it isnt too complex to fit into the db migration schema.
what you can do currently is configure URLs, this for example works with steam games that have a uri for the steam client. if there is one for lutris, or youre willing to set up a custom one that transforms a uri path into an argument for the command you want (linux makes this fairly easy), that should work in the meantime and maybe even easier than setting up a command with multiple arguments for each game, you could have custom-lutris://game-id and the script bound to handle that uri protocol converts it into flatpak run net.lutris.Lutris lutris:rungame/game-id. though the syntax of that lutris command makes it look like lutris already has a uri handler, might just need to configure it to be available for the whole system rather than just the flatpak sandbox, if it isnt already.
could you not create a bash script in each game folder that searches the game name if it correlates w lutris' and use that as "executable"?
otherwise just a script that has hardcoded gameid and modify it for each game
this is assuming you can assign and run a .sh in f95checker

of course, didnt mention making a dedicated script as at that point anything goes. you could even just have the same script but many different copies of it with different names (or many symlinks with different names to the same script), and have the script use the name it was invoked with as the game id, then it wouldnt even have to be in the same folder as the game and you could have them all next to each other, really depends how you prefer to manage your library and also part of why i dont want to implement automatic installs and so on, everyone does it a bit different.
i myself use a small python script for renpy games that chooses the exe or the sh depending if im on linux or windows, though nowadays im considering just always using the exe since wine works just as well if not even better in some cases.

Yup, that's why I use Lutris even for renpy games that would run directly on linux. Plus, the minor theoretical protection of a wine "sandbox" around the game makes me feel better about running code from internet randoms.

Thanks for the ideas, I think the small script for each game is probably the most approachable one. I already have my own custom launch script in Lutris that detects which game engine is being used and auto-installs URM. I should be able to do something similar for auto launching via lutris.

Still, I think it would be nice if the checker app eventually had a way to configure manual arguments for each exe, I hope you are able to work that in, but if not that's cool too. Thanks for responding!

Anyone have any clue why when i launch Phoenixes through F95 Checker the text is blank but when i launch the exe by itself it's fine?
So I fixed this problem by creating a shortcut to the exe (in same directory) with same working directory. The shortcut was added to the Checker.

I used to do it like that. till the number of games I play grew over 300. Now I can just click 1 button to check every single game. :D
i got to 30 games and was like nope i cant be bothered checking ALL 30 weekly/monthly and trying to figure out the installed version or compare update date somehow. then searched the tools page and found this
now i dont need to visit f95 unless i want to check a game's news or check up on what willys been cooking up

is the feature of the browser extension removed, where it shows which games have been added to library ?
On my end all is good... But give us more info if you want real help as what browser you use, if you did check if it was not disabled by mistake, i mean the extension/addon, oh and from where you installed, beta version or not, etc.

nvm, I was still using the older version of the extension. Downloading the latest fixed it.

I got an error saying my token is expired when trying to use 'open temporary torrent' in the rpdl menu here; I think I'm missing an obvious fix... not too much on this in the thread... I've deleted the cookie in my browser for rpdl and signed in again, then went back into F95Checker and it hasn't restored functionality. I'm not quite sure where I can go into F95Checker and let it know I've signed in. Any help is appreciated, thank you.

I'm on 11.1 beta1647

EDIT: Found the RPDL button under Manage/Clear/RPDL Session

Thanks, I guess I kept missing it!

a search for 'expired' might be worthwhile.

Well, I searched for 'expired token' and there was one hit. It was stated that the program can reset it but not how or where, so then I made my post. Only after digging into the menu much more carefully did I find the functionality and then edited my post to direct any others to where I found the solution for the next person.

Thanks though.

FWIW the latest beta wouldve been able to detect it and regerenerate the token automatically, weird that your search found a prior post only mentioning to clear the rpdl session. anyway glad you fixed it
