Sureshoe Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 If I start BigBox and go to Windows and run Dragons Lair through Steam, it launches ok. If I start BigBox, run a Mame game and close or run SNES and close (or any emulator), when I go to run Steam - I press play and Steam (Dragons Lair specifically) launches in the background. BigBox is locked up and unresponsive, but has focus. I can hear Dragons Lair in the background and if I ALT-TAB, I can see it, but even selecting it, BigBox stays in focus and unresponsive. If I use the mouse to right-click-close, BigBox becomes responsive. Any suggestions on settings to play with? The other emulators close for sure and work great. And Steam works if it is the first/only app launches from BigBox. It returns focus on exit/etc but only when it’s the sole app. I have had to do some video card fiddling, so I’ll try somebody other Steam apps soon, just not had the chance .

Sureshoe Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 Added Alien Swarm and Team Fortress just to test, but they don’t appear in Big Box thru Steam API import. So I found you can add the game directly. Running Dragons Lair outside of Steam, as a direct Exe call seems to fix this. I can’t get those other Steam games to run but don’t care. TLDR: don’t run games thru Steam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
