Ok i found a fix. You gotta create a bat file and place it in your games executable directory. Launch it as a custom command and command only in Steam Tinker Launch game menu. Make sure to have all your dependencies required by using protontricks (i needed dotnet). Here is my example which includes a 30 second pause to allow my dll injector to not fire off immediately.

@echo off
start bg3_dx11.exe
ping -n 31 127.0.0.1 > nul
start IGCSInjector.exe


Just replace the exe's with yours and make sure its saved as a bat file. I know its linux and may work with a .sh file but i didnt even try. Thought it would be more complex than that... dont forget if your file name has spaces you must write

start "" "name of game.exe"

Just FYI, you don't have to loop ping. There is a SLEEP command you can use.

In that post, the person is using a ping localhost with no output to "wait". There is a sleep command that can be used instead.

i tried sleep and it didnt work for whatever reason. looping ping was what chat gpt suggested. I even converted the bat file to exe with bat to exe converter and changed the settings for the game in heroic to "open a different exe"(the converted bat file). add as a non steam game from heroic and boom.
