djuniah Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 While in BigBox, my escape key doesn't work. To be able to use the back button, i had to map the "back" key to backspace. If I run BB as an admin, the escape key does work, however I get the windows "are you sure you want to run this program as an admin" pop-up, which doesn't work for my emulation machine since i want it to run on startup without having to use a keyboard/mouse, and i would rather not disable windows security. I saw one user mention this on the bug tracker a few years ago (https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/2597/escape-key-not-working-in-bigbox-v78b2) but running the installer as an admin had no effect on the issue. Does anyone have any suggestions? This is a pretty fresh windows install with nothing besides BB, some EMUs, and chrome installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djuniah Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) Well, that was fast....Turns out it was the autohotkey script to close CEMU that was causing the issue. It seems to take exclusive control of the esc key, and when the EMU closes, the AHK process is still running in the background. However, that leaves me with no way of closing CEMU...

Where are you placing your AHK script? Can you also share what script you were using? We have been using AHK scripts for quite a long time to assist in closing some emulators that will not respond to keyboard/controller automation settings LB/BB so it is odd the AHK is staying active on you.

djuniah Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) Hello! It was actually one of your posts from here: I had put that in the exit script section of CEMU (when i went to edit the CEMU entry in LB). It seems like the AHK background process that BigBox launches for CEMU stays running after CEMU closes, and that's what locks the esc key. When I looked, I had 6-7 instances of it running after opening and closing CEMU several times while testing. I have since removed the script entirely and then set the BigBox pause hotkey on my controller, the Exit functionality of that menu closes CEMU properly for me. EDIT: To be clear, i'm not running AHK on my own outside of LB/BB, I was using the built-in functionality.

I have never see AHK running in task manager when I shut down systems that may use an AHK script. I have not used a script in Cemu for a while now. But I just tested it with that same script and AHK is not running after the game shut down. @C-Beats any idea on why he might have this issue?
