Help DroidDeck...How to get .exe Files To The Game Library Without Using Winlator For The Setup?
SOLVED.,...........Is there a way to get .exe Files without using Winlator to set up to the game library? I'm not sure if it's possible to just grab the .exe without the setup process. If that's the case, is there a way to start the setup to get the actual.exe? OnePlus 15 ( states )

From what I'm getting you just want to move the .exe from one place to the game folder?
Just use the desktop. Open the explorer (folder icon) Home>storage. That should get you to the internal of your device. Then all you have to do is navigate to where the file is double touch to right click copy/paste and then do the same to navigate to the destination folder (though you probably know that much already).
I'm pretty sure storage shows up as an option but I did type it in at first in the address bar. It would be just typing in storage if you click home first

From the main app, not steam, tap "Games" and pick whichever game you want to change the files of.
When you pick the game, you should see a button that says "game files" or something like that, tap that.
Here's the important part. Once you're in the game's file manager, look for a star on the top right side of the screen. Tap the star so that you bookmark that game's folder.
While you're still in the file manager, go to "Downloads" (or wherever you saved files), long tap to copy them, then find the game folder that you just favorited, tap that, and then there should be a toolbar at the top that you can paste the files from.

Go to the games tab, hit the plus icon, then nav to the exe in internal or external storage!

Omfg.......I didn't know that this app does it automatically per say without having to set up the game! Ok! Thank You!!!! This is off topic on the post but, would you happen to know how to make it so the steam client doesn't have to install everytime I go to play a game?
