unibod Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 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? Here's my log:20:43:11.0 7/2/2014: Opening Configuration File20:43:11.3 7/2/2014: GameEx: Version 13.27: Starting Log20:43:11.3 7/2/2014: Operating System Platform: Win32NT20:43:11.3 7/2/2014: Operating System Name: Windows 720:43:11.3 7/2/2014: Operating System Version: 6.1.760120:43:11.3 7/2/2014: Aero running20:43:11.3 7/2/2014: Initializing Vista/Windows 7 volume control20:43:11.3 7/2/2014: Getting CPU and RAM info20:43:11.3 7/2/2014: AMD Athlon II X4 630 Processor, 4095MB20:43:11.3 7/2/2014: 2.81Ghz - 4 Cores or CPU's20:43:11.3 7/2/2014: Running Randomize()20:43:11.3 7/2/2014: Loading PlugIns20:43:11.5 7/2/2014: Checking for applications to Launch On Startup20:43:11.5 7/2/2014: Setting default net connection limit to 1520:43:11.5 7/2/2014: Running Misc startup tasks20:43:11.5 7/2/2014: Setting Menu types20:43:11.5 7/2/2014: Getting Configuration Values20:43:15.6 7/2/2014: Launching HideOS.exe20:43:15.6 7/2/2014: Initialising Video/MNG DLL's20:43:15.6 7/2/2014: GameEx will check for media insertion (may affect performance)20:43:15.6 7/2/2014: Hiding Taskbar20:43:16.0 7/2/2014: Using Cabinet Friendly Control System20:43:16.0 7/2/2014: Is Media Center running?20:43:16.0 7/2/2014: Checking/Creating LCD Registry values20:43:16.0 7/2/2014: Check Media Center Exit/Start Mode20:43:16.0 7/2/2014: Media Center Mode 020:43:16.0 7/2/2014: Video previews on.

DazzleHP Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Hi unibod and welcome to the forum,How do you have Steam setup to run? For instance Big Picture can cause problems when used with GameEx, and today's update to the Steam Client may also have something to do with it as it is now forcing a Steam focus on game exit. Have you always experienced this behavior or has it started recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance Big Picture can cause problems when used with GameEx, and today's update to the Steam Client may also have something to do with it as it is now forcing a Steam focus on game exit. Have you always experienced this behavior or has it started recently?Hi DazzleToday 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 Processor4 GB DDR 2 RAMNVIDIA GTS 250Thanks for the quick responses ya'll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Is it possible your GPU is a little under-powered?20:43:50.8 7/2/2014: Available texture memory: -1818MBIf it is only happening with running games with Steam, it could be that your overhead is just not enough with GameEx "in the background" while running the Steam games. How are the games when running outside of GameEx?You might also need to check out Event Viewer from Windows 7 to see if there are any clues there at about the time of the crashes. To be honest, this does not seem to be a GameEx issue proper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, this does not seem to be a GameEx issue proper. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unibod Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 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.

nullPointer Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Typically this relates back to a somewhat common problem. Essentially this means that the game launcher process is not the same as the game process itself. The trouble with this is that GameEx only knows about the process that it launches. So if GameEx starts the launcher process and then the game pulls a switcheroo and trades the launcher process for the game process (thus ending the process launched by GameEx) ... well as far as GameEx is concerned the process it launched is no longer running so the game must be over. So ... we must tell GameEx about this secondary process.If you look in the following directory:C:\GameEx\MEDIA\STEAM\CONFIGS\You'll find a number of numerically named INI files. There is one file for each game in your Steam library. So the first step is to determine which number equates to the game you're looking for. This part is pretty easy. Open up the store page for the game you're looking for. For this example let's use Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition. Take a look at the URL for that page:http://store.steampowered.com/app/237110/You'll notice a number at the end of the URL. That's the numeric ID you're looking for. So in this case the file you want to modify will be 237110.ini. If you need to create it in the same directory that's fine too.OK so that part was pretty easy the next part if slightly more tricky, but not much. Essentially you need to determine the name of the process for the game itself. Windows Task Manager will likely come in very handy. So start the game. and Alt+Tab back to your desktop. Now start Windows Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc). Under the processes tab locate the name of the process identified with your game. Hopefully it will be obvious. For now let's assume that it is. That process name is what you'll need to add to you INI file. You will need to add the following line to your file:overidewaitprocess=NAME_OF_PROCESS Where NAME_OF_PROCESS is the name of the process you found in Windows Task Manager (minus extension). Here's a full example of the config for The Binding of Isaac:[AppID_113200]hasbeenlaunched=trueoveridewaitprocess=IsaacHopefully following the above steps should more or less get you back on the right track. Good luck man! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
