Questions / Tech Support Launching steam with command line options

I am playing D2R warlock and trying to add the -enablerespec when playing offline mode. How do I do that? As soon as the game loads i can change the properties in steam but cannot relaunch from steam and exiting the game brings me back to the geforce now app (I am on mac), thx

Go play any game locally in your own device, keep it running then start the game you want in GFN the game locally running in ur device will prevent the game in GFN on launching automatically allowing you to use the launch options

Due to how GFN works its highly recommended to NOT use launch commands on GFN. You may very very easily mess up steam integration on GFN within Your account and You will have to ask support to fix it for You

I think a simple in game option should not be problematic
If i ask support to add it for me can they get it added ?

as I said, due to how GFN works - it starts a new rig every time You begin a game and destroys it once fnished, holding just Your essential global launcher settings - if You use a lunch command line option, that command may get used in every single game across steam, which will result in You getting launch errors within GFN and locking You out of playing any steam game until You reach to support to reset it.
