Did some more tests this morning. Right now, GameEx isn't crashing when I quit MK after a few fights, but it isn't holding attention either. I'll launch the game and after a few minutes it'll tab back to GameEx. I've also noted this happening on other steam game Battle Block Theater.

It's not as powerful as I'd maybe like it to be, but it shouldn't have any trouble running GameEx and Mortal Kombat. In and out of GameEx, it runs Mortal Kombat at 60fps. Another problem I've noted is that on occasion I'll be playing the game and GameEx will decide to regain focus away from the game. I'll have to alt tab back to the game. It's a peculiar thing.

Hi Dazzle Today is actually my first day with the ability to run steam games. I just put together my new arcade PC today and will be putting it into a cabinet shortly, so I've never tried anything like this before. In response to Draco, I've seemed to follow all of the steps above to no avail, GameEx still crashes after I do one fight and exit. (It will not crash if I just hang out in the menus and exit) I wish I could provide more info, but this is all I've got right now. GameEx doesn't crash like this when I run complex things such as the Dolphin emulator, so it's baffling. My Specs sloppily typed out: AMD 2.6 Quad Core Processor 4 GB DDR 2 RAM NVIDIA GTS 250 Thanks for the quick responses ya'll

Hey all. I've been tinkering with a new arcade machine project, and have it a bit of a roadblock. I can launch and play steam games just fine, but after I quit a a game with high framerates and decent graphics, GameEx crashes and gives me the log screen. Any ideas?
