BeamMP

[Joe Rogan]

Is there anyway i can play BeamMP through steam launcher so i can get my hours?

I thought it would automatically launch through Steam anyway, whether you use the launcher from Steam or from the icon on the desktop.

Are you online when you launch the game as that's the only thing I can think of that might not record the hours you're playing on it?

Oh yes I see now, sorry about that. I don't know as I've never used that myself.

I would probably guess not as it doesn't run through Steam does it?

I know you can add programs that aren't actually Steam installed but wouldn't know how Steam would be able to record the hours you play on it, but it's a nice question to ask though.

Maybe the creators of BeamMP might know the answer, or may be able to fix it so it records the hours to Steam?

Usually it's a case of telling Steam where the file is that you run.

you can do that but that's not the question he's asking. Unless you're directly able to modify the files located within steamapps, I don't think you'll be able to count BMP hours as regular Beam playtime. This isn't something that's a priority whatsoever so I doubt that the BMP devs would consider it.

In case anyone wants to know you add the address to the MP launcher to your launch options followed by %command%

It should look something like this...

C:\Users\(User)\AppData\Roaming\BeamMP-Launcher\BeamMP-Launcher.exe %command%

Obviously Your username should be in place of (User)

This is what I did. This works 100%^
