SRPTWorkaround

this project is a way for you to use Steam Remote Play Together with any and all progams on your computer.

Usage

• Download the exe from releases or compile this program the normal cmake way
• Install a Steam Remote Play Together compatible game through steam.
  • I recommend Broforce as it is available on all steam platfroms, supports 4 player Steam Remote Play Together and is not too big
  • If you dont own Broforce and dont want to spend money then use Expendabros instead (this game doesnt support linux)
• Create a list of all the games/programs you want to be able to launch with Steam Remote Play Together.
  • this list should have the format specified in the format section of this README
• Copy the program and list into the folder of the Steam Remote Play Together game you installed in step 2
• Backup the game executable somewhere by copying it to the same folder with a diffrent name
• Replace the original game executable with this workaround exeutable (just make sure they have Identical names)
• go into steam and change the game launch options and input the file name of the game list you created in step 3
• add a space after that name and then input the name of the program from that list you want to launch
• now save the config and start the game through steam. you should be able to get the steam overlay open and invite people to Steam Remote Play Together

Format

the format for the game list file should be

[program name in one word] [path to program executable]
[program name in one word] [path to program executable]
[program name in one word] [path to program executable]
