"Close on Launch" doesn't work on non-Windows platforms

[duganchen]

If I check "Close on Launch" and launch DOOM, then the QZDL crashes and I see the following in the terminal:

QProcess: Destroyed while process is still running.

Maybe look into using QProcess::startDetached?

This is on Linux.

Is there any plan to fix this?

It's fixed in my fork.

This is what I've changed it to:

@duganchen How can I tie this into the steam loader?

On windows, you can delete dosbox.exe and rename gzdoom.exe {or zdl.exe} to dosbox.exe as a workaround.

Within Linux, I want it to load qzdl from the steam {proton} selection. But, since they are two different platforms, it won't allow you to execute a Linux binary?

[duganchen]

What I'd do is add Linux (Q)ZDL to Linux Steam as a non-Steam game, and then set up (Q)ZDL with the Linux GZDoom binary and the IWAD (DOOM2.WAD) from wherever Proton put it.

Give your ZDL shortcut a Steam banner:

That's as specific as I can personally get right now, because I haven't used Proton yet. I bought my DOOM packages from GOG, ran InnoExtract on the installers to unpack them, and used the IWADs from there with GZDoom.

This is fixed as of bradharding/doomretro#287
