nyrna VS GlosSI

Someone pointed me in the direction of "Nyrna", which looks promising! https://nyrna.merritt.codes/ (Can download a free trial from the MS Store)

please try https://github.com/Merrit/nyrna and let me know how well it works.

It currently only works on X11 but Nyrna seems like it's made for this use case

Nyrna - Used for suspending the active application with a hotkey

If on PC, recommend using Nyrna : https://nyrna.merritt.codes/ . You can set the hotkey to the Pause/Break button on your keyboard, and it will force the current application (eg Hogwarts Legacy) to pause midcutscene and show the desktop till hit the hotkey again.

Here's an application for Windows: https://github.com/Merrit/nyrna

- Download the application "Nyrna" from https://nyrna.merritt.codes/. Download page located in the top right, select the version for your operating system (for this guide, I am using Windows 10)

But there is maybe a way to solve this problem. While looking for a solution i stumbled over the programm Nyrna which allows to suspend programs. You could in theory freeze the game at one point and send your computer in stand-by / hibernation and continue the next day. But i have not experimented much with it.

There is a 3rd party program, Nyrna. It lets you pause any game at any point, keep it in RAM without using up any other resources, then get back to it whenever you want to.

Try installing glossi on your host system and running it though that https://github.com/Alia5/GlosSI

GlosSI

If it’s a “non-steam” game, like Diablo IV, I use https://github.com/Alia5/GlosSI to act as the non-steam game for the launcher.

Download GlosSI installer from https://github.com/Alia5/GlosSI (when asked to during installation, install ViGEM driver as well)

Check out GloSI and it's Playnite extension, might be easier to assign input per game from Playnite

There are apps that act as middleware between Steam and these 3rd party launchers that can help. I use GlosSI.

You simply can't because there are no Drivers for it and Steam.exe is acting like the driver itself so that even projects like https://github.com/Alia5/GlosSI are piggybacking on Steam.exe's existence. You may try combining that GlosSI + SteamCMD (command line version) for a minimal impact on your system but you can't avoid installing Steam.

Now I assume you are running it through steam to make use of steam input. The workaround to run the launcher independently and still use steam input is to use glossi . Here’s a YouTube video on how to set it up: youtube .
