Playtime

With the global config LOGPLAYTIME being enabled (default) the actual Playtime of every game run is logged in seconds per game.

Crash-Guess

If the per-game config CRASHGUESS is bigger than 0 and the Playtime after the game has exited is below CRASHGUESS, a Crash-Guess requester opens, where one has the option to directly retry starting game with different settings (the Settings menu will (re)open) before the launch process exits back to steam. The Gui also offers to permanently skip that requester for the running game (which simply sets CRASHGUESS to 0) or simply to exit for now.

Crash-Guess Help-Url

The same requester also has a dropdown menu, where a "Help Url" can be selected to open in the browser automatically when "retry" is chosen. The sourcelist for the dropdown menu comes from the helpurls.txt file in $GLOBALMISCDIR (usually /usr/share/stl/misc), but it can be overridden with an own helpurls.txt in $STLCFGDIR (~/.config/stl/) If opening the Url opens a new browser session, stl tries to detect this and kills the browser when 'exit' is selected to close the game session properly.
