Trying to create a desktop shortcut (not being able to do it from game library is a massive problem, especially considering how many people have asked for it) but trying to do it from files if I add "STAR WARS Battlefront" to desktop (which is the most obvious file that could be a .exe) if I try to launch it it tells me that "core/activation64.dll" is missing. This is the 4th time I'm spending half a day reinstalling a game just to get a desktop shortcut.

you launch the game, pin it to task bar, then right click and pin to start, then locate it in your start menu and drag it onto your desktop and itll make a shortcut
