[RESOLVED] Steam games losing focus or crashing GameEx

[Kustom Kid]

Greetings and salutations. When I launch a Steam game I have one of two things happen 1 minute after launch. The game either loses focus and I'm returned back to GameEx (Axiom Verge) or GameEx itself crashes (Transformers Devastation, Sonic All Star Racing, Ultra Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter x Tekken). When GameEx crashes it doesn't take the focus away from the game, but I obviously can't go back to GameEx once I'm finished with the game. I ran a few different games for testing purposes. The logs from said games are attached with their shortened names before "log.txt." I can also test other games if you'd like. Thank you all in advance.

I made an app to explore focus issues- it might help. Attached as codeplex being an ass.

Hi,

GameEx detects if a Steam game is running (and whether you have exited the game) by checking the Steam overlay process. If this is turned off (or maybe something changed with a steam update) this is the behaviour you will see.

The overlay was the problem. I must have turned it off at some point. Thanks Tom.
