Ribbit King Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 Hi, I'm loving Big Box, it's great for my couch PC gaming. I now run my Steam games through Big Box. But being on the couch, I would like to have the games launch into Big Picture Mode. Not launch Big Picture by itself but launch Big Picture and the game all at once. I'm starting to think it's not possible at this point, but I thought I'd ask just in case I'm missing a step. Thanks again. I've mixed and matched different combinations with no luck. Application Path: steam://rungameid/(game id) steam://open/bigpicture C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\(game name)\(game.exe) Application Command-Line Parameters: steam://rungameid/(game id) steam://open/bigpicture -bigpicture -tenfoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Hi @Ribbit King, welcome. I haven't experimented much with Big Picture myself, but I found this thread: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/bigpicture/discussions/2/882960163727915929/ It might help out. It looks like you could create a batch file to run several commands to make it happen (maybe). Worth a shot. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ribbit King Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 That link seems to show how to open Big Picture without a game. I've tried to Google the solution and can't seem to find one. We can run a Steam game from command line and regular desktop Steam will open, but there isn't that same option for Big Picture. Maybe if Steam Boxes and Big Picture becomes more popular, Valve will create that option to go straight into the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Sure, yeah. Sure seems like that should be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
