Here's a weird question. I was wondering if I could get Steam to open Content Manager instead of the original AssettoCoesa.exe.
So I searched and found this:

If you want Steam overlay to be in Content Manager, please, go to Assetto Corsa folder, rename AssettoCorsa.exe to AssettoCorsa_original.exeand put CM as AssettoCorsa.exe. Then, for Steam, there’ll be no difference in the original launcher or CM, and Steam will start CM instead. Also, this way, CM will be able to launch acs.exe directly, read achievements for special events directly and all that. You will be able to start the original launcher (as long as it’s named AssettoCorsa_original.exe) at any point from CM. And, of course,
Steam overlay will work as well.
The only problem with this approach is that next AC update might replace CM. But, just in case, no data will be lost, and original launcher is being updated quite rarely, so I don’t think it’s a major inconvenience.
Also, you could try to use AC Service starter, which basically does a similar thing, but replaces AssettoCorsa.exe with a very small service running in background with an icon in the system tray allowing to start the race at any point. But I think drawbacks are similar, the only advantage is that you will be able to restart CM frequently without exiting and reentering AC for your friends in Steam (that service will keep running for some time after each usage, by default it’s two hours)."
Well, I tried that and Steam instantly started redownloading Assetto Corsa and what I would assume "repair" the install.
The purpose of this is to use Content Manager in Steam Remote Play. Can't use Steam Remote with the original launcher due to too many mods for it to handle. I realize that this is from a two year old thread and much might have changed since then. I'd like to be able to work in Content Manager and program away from my driving rig computer.
It's a long shot but has anyone been able to get this to work?
