Solved Close batch script after being called

im working around the 255 symbol limit MAX_PATH length when launching games from Steam using Properties < Launch Options. one way is to make a batch script and add the batch script directory path then %command% in the Steam game launch options.



although this works, the batch script command prompt window stays open after the game launches. is there a way to have the command prompt close it launches the game?

ive tried adding "exit" and "exit /b" to the batch script and it still stays open

also using the LongPathsEnabled reg key to remove the 255 symbol limit for MAX_PATH lengths wont effect the launch options in Steam

add after your line (SPACE before &&)

exit should work provided you launch the game with start
As in

The "start" is the key because your game needs to be running in the background for CMD to continue to the next line.

Some games use a launcher, which starts the game as another process and the launcher exits.
Some games just run until you exit it.

since its a Steam game, i have to use the game id to launch it. i got a working string, but this no longer requires me to launch the game from Steam and add launch options to it

i also no longer needed the "%1" at the beginning. thanks guys!
