Add Irony To Steam - bcssov/ironymodmanager GitHub Wiki

You can add Irony Mod Manager to Steam as a Non-Steam Game.
This is useful if you want:

  • Quick access from your Steam library
  • Big Picture Mode support
  • Steam Deck integration
  • Steam overlay behavior (Windows)
  • Automatic game pre-selection when launching Irony

Irony works as a native app on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
On Linux, Proton is NOT required because Irony provides a native Linux binary.

1. Add Irony as a Non-Steam Game

  1. Open Steam
  2. Go to Games → Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library…

1

  1. Select Irony Mod Manager from the list,
    or click Browse… and locate the executable:

    • Windows: IronyModManager.exe
    • Linux/macOS: IronyModManager

2

  1. Click Add Selected Programs

3

Irony will now appear in your Steam library.

2. Set Irony to Launch With a Specific Game Selected

Steam allows you to customize the launch command so Irony opens directly on the chosen game tab.

  1. In your Steam Library, right-click Irony Mod Manager
  2. Select Properties…

4

  1. Rename it to the game you want (optional).
  2. In Launch Options, enter:
-g Stellaris

5

This tells Irony to start with Stellaris pre-selected.

3. Supported Game Launch Flags

Replace Stellaris with one of these identifiers:

  • CK3
  • EU4
  • HOI4
  • IR
  • Stellaris
  • STInfinite
  • Vic3
  • EU5

Example for Hearts of Iron IV:

-g HOI4

Example for Crusader Kings III:

-g CK3

4. Linux / Steam Deck Notes

  • Irony has a native Linux executable, so do not enable Proton.
  • Add Irony exactly like any other Linux-native program.
  • Steam Deck can run Irony in Desktop Mode without compatibility tools.

Summary

Adding Irony to Steam improves workflow and lets you launch Irony directly into the game you're modding.
Just add it as a Non-Steam Game and optionally set a -g <game> launch flag for automatic game selection.
