Pressing "Help" don't show anything.

Greetings. Trying to get understanding how correctly put "Game arguments", because my games completly ignore it. There is button "Help", but when i try press it, nothing happens. It should redirect to my browser i think?, but nothing happens. I think i'm missing "xdg settings" or ?

Those "Help" buttons are supposed to display a little help message explaining what you've asked about, they don't open anything in your browser Seems like all of those are borked at the moment, not sure when this'll get fixed as a new UI is also in the works To get back to your original question: Game arguments are passed directly to the game, as if you'd run wine /path/to/game.exe SomeArgumentHere (simplifying this here, but you get the idea I hope)

Okay thank you. Second question if i can ask here, where to put commands like "PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 ENABLE_VKBASALT=1"? Don't work in game arguments. Same for gamescope. Tried to put in wrapper, but i get error: Wine Command: gamescope /usr/bin/mangohud --dlsym /usr/bin/gamemoderun /home/Malus/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_soldier/run -- /home/Malus/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton - Experimental/proton run /run/media/Malus/M2 other/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Total War WARHAMMER III/Warhammer3.exe gamescope: unrecognized option '--dlsym'

Well, that's because those are environment variables. There's also a section for those in the game settings
Same for gamescope. Tried to put in wrapper, but i get error:
You'll have to add gamescope as gamescope -- to tell it to stop treating any arguments afterwards as parameters for it. Otherwise it'll think that the --dlsym intended for MangoHud is actually indended for it (which it'll then complain about, since those of course aren't valid parameters)

okay got it. Thank you very much. just for clarification: in left gamescope in right section: -- -W 2560 -H 1440 -r 480 -e for example. Right?

The -- goes at the end, not the beginning. It's a signal which says "the rest of the arguments are the command to run through Gamescope".
