When using the SteamOS compositor, some games start behind the big picture UI and no graphics are displayed. This script forces such games to be shown in the foreground.

Affected games this script fixes include:

• Dead Cells
• Dirt Rally
• Civilization VI
• The Count Lucanor
• Mad Max
• Mirror's Edge (Steam Play)

Run the following command:

sudo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alkazar/steamos-fg/master/steamos-fg -o /usr/local/bin/steamos-fg && sudo chmod a x /usr/local/bin/steamos-fg

Add steamos-fg %command% to the launch options for each game you wish to use this script with.

This script was tested on Arch and reported to work on Ubuntu and SteamOS.

On Arch, you will need the xorg-xwininfo and xorg-xprop packages.

On Ubuntu, you will need the x11-utils package.
