Vortex Version: 1.6.14
Memory: 23.94 GB
System: win32 x64 (10.0.19044)
Please add command line switches to launch a game via Vortex
Many times I stream games to my living room via Steam Link and use a controller. However its a very cumbersome to operate Vortex in this manner, especially when wanting to change game mod profiles.
If I could create a shortcut to launch Vortex with switches, I could add them to Steam to start a game with a chosen profile. Example "vortex.exe -game -profile -autolaunch"

I don't see the point of that, why would you even launch Vortex if you just want to run your game? Why not just create a shortcut to your game and run that?

For a couple of reasons.

  1. The main reason - to be able to setup a batch file or shortcut that can be easily launched from Steam with a controller in Bigscreen (especially when streaming to a smart TV) or Steam VR in the Headset.
  2. Launch a game and switch to a specific profile with one shortcut. For instance Skyrim Special Edition with Vampire Mods or Skyrim Special Edition with Werewolf Mods.
    The main Idea is to have multiple preconfigured shortcuts that will automatically apply a different mod profile before launching the same game easily from a controller while streaming or inside a VR Headset.
