Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
Describe what you expected should happen and what did happen. Please link any large code pastes as a Github Gist
The current method for changing out a game executable is less than intuitive and quite hackish.
You either need to replace the executable physically on the disk, meaning you have to redo this every time there is a game update or use the launch parameters to change it and then comment out or echo "%command%" at the end. ("$variable=value /path/altbinary -parameter ; echo ran alternative bianary instead of %command%" works.)
Adding a menu option to fill an alternative command would be very helpful.
This would also help on steam play where launchers won't run properly, so there should be a way to set this through the steam play whitelist options as well.
