Using the PLAY Button
The βΆ PLAY button in the Library tab is the main way to launch your games. Clicking it opens a small dropdown menu with three options depending on how the game was installed.
How to Open the Play Menu
- Go to the Library tab in ONENNABE
- Click a game in the left sidebar to open its detail panel
- Click the βΆ PLAY button
- A dropdown menu appears with your launch options
The 3 Play Options
βΆ Play from Steam
Launches the game directly through Steam β the same as clicking Play in Steam itself.
When to use: - Standard games with no bypass or patch - Denuvo games (after completing the account borrow step) - Any game where you have already applied the necessary patches
π Choose .exe or .bat
Opens a file picker so you can select the exact executable or batch file to launch.
When to use:
- Hypervisor games β select HV-PlugNPlay.bat or HV-Launcher.bat
- Games with multiple launch executables where you need to pick a specific one
- Bypass or Online Patch games where a specific launcher is required
Windows 11 Only
HV-PlugNPlay.bat and HV-Launcher.bat only work on Windows 11. These files will not work on Windows 10.
How to use:
1. Click βΆ PLAY
2. Select π Choose .exe or .bat
3. A Windows file browser opens in the game's installation folder
4. Select the correct file:
- HV-PlugNPlay.bat or HV-Launcher.bat β for Hypervisor games
- [GameName].exe β for games that need to be launched directly
5. Click Open β the game will launch
π Uninstall Game
Opens Steam's native uninstall dialog for the game.
What it does: - Triggers Steam to uninstall the game files from your PC - Your unlock in ONENNABE remains active β you can re-download the game at any time - The game stays in your Steam library after uninstalling
Note
If the game was installed via Download Standalone instead of Steam, this option will show as π Uninstall Download instead, which permanently deletes the game folder and JSON file directly.
