1. Download SpaceEngineersLauncher from https://github.com/sepluginloader/SpaceEngineersLauncher
2. Download this file (`SpaceEngineersLauncher.py`) into the `Bin64` folder of the game
3. Give it execute permissions (`chmod a+x SpaceEngineersLoader.py`)
4. Set the steam launch options for Space Engineers to `./SpaceEngineersLauncher.py %command%`
