Steam URL shortcut for Paradise Lost?

[Erebus]

Running the .exe directly like before doesn't bring up the Steam overlay anymore for some reason, I guess one of the updates in the last couple months broke something.

You need to run PL from your Steam Library.

I was about to create separate thread, but I'll just paste here. I wrote the text below before finding this thread.

When starting Paradise Lost from Postal 2 menu or desktop shortcut, the game will start without Steam overlay. This will disable Steam screenshots and tracking of Steam achievements.

Shortcut for Paradise Lost created through Postal 2 menu item has direct path to exe, whereas Postal 2 shortcut created through Steam points to game ID with "steam-protocol" (steam://).

It is possible to play Paradise Lost without Steam.

Do you know how Steam starts Paradise Lost? Just trying to figure out if it would be possible to manually create Steam-friendly shortcut for Paradise Lost.

All I can say about this is that making a Steam shortcut for something else, then modifying that shortcut's URL to the ID for Paradise Lost doesn't work, as far as I've tried (I'm of course assuming I actually pointed it to the right ID, and that Google results weren't lying to me again).

Because P2 and PL have same ID, regarding steam_appid.txt file.
