Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): Jul 21 2022, at 20:51:39
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Ubuntu 20.04
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Steam segfaults when launch options is set to just %command% for non Steam games. This does not happen for Steam games.
Sometimes when testing environment variables, it's easier to leave %command% instead of deleting everything and then having to rewrite it.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Add any program (for example glxgears) as a non Steam game.
  2. Set launch options to simply %command%.
  3. Click Play.

I can no longer reproduce this, so closing as fixed.
