Describe the Bug

I tried a few suggested methods of getting around the launching of epic/steam games with sunshine. I've settled on a small Visual Studio project to get it working.

I wanted to notify you of this project, and maybe create a search trail for people who want the same thing. Check the code here, it's unfinished and raw but it took an hour and I'm happy it mostly works.

I was wondering why my epic and steam games launched, but moonlight closed saying it had failed. Then when i connected to the desktop found the game running waiting for me.

So from my messing around it seems that the PID that sunshine launches closes/changes causing sunshine to disconnect /close thinking the app has closed ?
as if i have batch file with the following it works as a "fire and forget command"

steam.exe -applaunch 320140
ping 0.0.0.0 -n 10

This stalls the close of the PID long enough for the stream to start.
