[RESOLVED] Steam Games shutting down after 30sec

So, just reactivated my steam games after switching to a ipac controller. But now I'm running into an issue where after launching a game from within gameex arcade, gamex drops back to the launch screen after about 30 seconds without me ever touching a key. 

The game runs fine when launched within steam, so it seems to be a GameEx thing.

Below is the log... any ideas what might be causing this.

In the setup wizard, there is an option to enable slik stik support, which is essentially "IPAC" support.  Make sure you've got that enabled.

I'm not sure if that will help you with your current situation or not as I thought Steam and Origin were still only supported in full GameEx.  It's was probably added along the way while I've been out with assorted projects.

It is alive in Arcade. Please attach (no copy and paste) your gameex.ini file. You will also want to make sure to load Steam outside of GameEx to ensure no error or other prompts are occuring.

slik stick/Ipac support was enabled

game runs fine outside of gameex without error

when auto login/ logout is disabled the game continues running in the background after gameex drops back to the game screen.

If I disconnect the usb for the joystick controller, it still drops back... so probably not a ipac issue directly

config file is attached

GameEx.ini

Okay. GameEx looks for the Steam Overlay to check when a game has exited. Not every single game supports the overlay (so won't work) or it may have got turned off.

Bingo that was the problem, I turned that off when trying to stop in game notifications.
