Microsoft Store

For games and apps from the Microsoft Store you need to create a link to the app. For this:

  1. Launch PowerShell and open it to full screen.
  2. Run the Get-StartApps command.
  3. In the table that appears, find your desired application.
  4. Copy the path to it ﴾on the right﴿. For example, HyperX NGENUITY: 33C30B79.HyperXNGenuity_0a78dr3hq0pvt!App
  5. When creating a game card, add shell:AppsFolder/ and the copied path into the Path line. It should look like this: shell:AppsFolder/33C30B79.HyperXNGenuity_0a78dr3hq0pvt!App 
Path: shell:AppsFolder/33C30B79.HyperXNGenuity_0a78dr3hq0pvt!App
Command line argument: not required

Steam

Option 1:

Path: steam://rungameid/GAMEID (You can find the GAMEID on this website: https://steamdb.info/)
Command line argument: not required

Option 2, If the game card does not appear in the Shell after using the first method, then:

Path: PathToSteam/Steam.exe
Command line argument: -applaunch GAMEID (You can find the GAMEID on this website: 
https://steamdb.info/)

Epic Games

For games from Epic Games you need to create a shortcut directly from the Launcher:

Path: com.epicgames.launcher://apps/fn%3A4f9b356b567da5%3AFortnite?action=launch&silent=true
Command line argument: not required

You can also do the same with absolutely any game from Epic Games. 
 

Riot Games

Game: Runtera 
Path: PathToRiot/RiotClientServices.exe
Command line argument: --launch-product=bacon --launch-patchline=live
Game: League of Legends
Path: PathToRiot/RiotClientServices.exe
Command line argument: --launch-product=league_of_legends --launch-patchline=live
Game: Valorant
Path: PathToRiot/RiotClientServices.exe 
Command line argument: --launch-product=valorant --launch-patchline=live

Battle.net

There are no startup options for games from this launcher, you need to specify the path directly to the game.

But! For Heartstone you need to specify the path to Hearthstone Beta Launcher.exe, because if you run Hearstone.exe you will launch the game itself , and if the user is not yet logged in the Launcher, it will be loading infinitely. 

Command line argument: not required.

EA App

For all apps it's best to add the path directly to the Launcher so far, because the game path doesn't work due to the specifics of running these games.

Path: PathToEaApp/EADesktop.exe
Command line argument: not required

Ubisoft Connect

Use this kind of path in the game card:

Path: uplay://launch/GAMEID
Command line argument: not required

GAMEID is the unique id of each game on the Uplay platform, you can find out the correct GAMEID for Uplay like this:

Create a shortcut to the game on your desktop > Right-click, open the Properties menu > Copy the game path like "uplay://launch/GAMEID" > Paste it into the game card Command line argument: not required

Discord

Path: PathToDiscord/Update.exe
Command line argument: --processStart Discord.exe

As for the apps that are located in the user's directory, use Windows environment variables, more details on the topic here: en.wikipedia.org

For example, for discord, the path would look like this:   %LOCALAPPDATA%\Discord\Update.exe

DayZ/Arma3

In the case of games that run their own internal Launcher first to select the game server, use the installation of that Launcher directly:

DayZ Launcher download link: https://dayzsalauncher.com/#/home

Arma3 Launcher download link: https://a3launcher.com/

For correct work of the Launcher you need to authorize in Steam first.

SteelSeries

Path: C:\Program Files\SteelSeries\GG\SteelSeriesGGClient.exe
Command line argument: not required
