the only way to get them to show properly most of the time is to reinstall the game as steam will then grab the right image even tho as iv seen the images for the desktop shortcuts are installed still, just steam for some reason doesnt grab it if the game has been kept after a distro hop for example

im pretty sure there was another issue opened about this but it might have been closed or was on another github project related to this
