Thanks for the bash-based launch options, I added it as the New Method. Very concise.
to add on to this. I've updated my automatic install script. It doesn't catch a situation where multiple SE installs are done (e.g. flatpak and native)
it can be found here: https://github.com/geraveoyomama/SE-Scripts/blob/main/plugin-installer.sh
If opekope2 wants to take over or take this script into this gist I am all for it.
For anyone having issue with this approach after Pulsar v2 release, I created a new gist with setup instructions.
Install and Run Space Engineers with Pulsar (Plugin Loader) on Linux.md
I used the .exe and launch parameters of steam. Works great tho and you can use Steam to run the game.
