Hi,
I just want to share a trick I use to start my Stadia games directly from my desktop.
Maybe someone finds this usefull as well ![]()
Step 1:
Navigate to the Store and find the game you want to directly start via desktop...
Step 2:
Right click anywhere on the page and press "Inspect" in the context menu
Step 3:
Press 'CTRL' + 'F' and type "data-p" on your keyboard.
Some code will highlight... Now copy the Text after the
%.@."
In the case of Borderlands 3 for example it would be: be080ad40b434ca289166031d3e88623rcp1
Step 4:
Right click on your desktop and press "New" -> "Shortcut"
A window opens up, insert
https://stadia.google.com/player/
followed by your copied text 'be080ad40b434ca289166031d3e88623rcp1'
OR
Just add that link as a browser favourite shortcut in chrome...
Result:
Borderlands 3 Game Start Link -> https://stadia.google.com/player/be080ad40b434ca289166031d3e88623rcp1
Note: Of course you have to claim / own the game for the link to work properly ![]()
You can get it way easier, just hold Esc key and u'll see same address in chrome url bar. But still. How can I launch shortcut as a window? Not in already opened chrome window.
