If following the steps on your github to direcly launch a steam game from moonlight, it creates it's own app state folder with it's own steam installation which you have to login to. This can be annying if you want to have many steam games on your moonlight dashboard.

This could be resolved with a override in apps or it could default to it's parent (steam).

I've kinda resolved it by sharing the same steam library from original Steam app, by adding a mount entry into direct steam app launch entry:

...
mounts = [ 'path/to/WolfSteam/steamapps:/home/retro/.steam/steam/steamapps:rw' ]
name = 'YourDirectLaunchGame'
...
