Xpadder closes before game starts

Recommended Posts

I've been using Xpadder for specific games, some that aren't being run through an emulator. It works great with the settings 'Additional Apps' as I can have Xpadder run on start up, and when the application ends I have a 2nd 'Additional Apps' to close Xpadder on exit.

However this one specific game I am having trouble with needs a .bat file to run. So when the bat file starts, it opens a launcher which starts an exe file and then the bat file closes and so does Xpadder...

Anyone have an idea around this?

What does your batch file look like?

Any way you can start the game directly without the launcher?  If you were some way able to do that, you could use 

start blah blah xpadder

Start /w "" "D:\games\MyGame.exe"

start blah bla Kill_xpadder

The key part being the "/w" which will wait for MyGame to exit before continuing to Kill_xpadder.

Batch file is just 'typex_loader game.exe'. If I didn't need the launcher, my usual method would have worked.

I'm not great at understanding where I enter the command lines. I found just the edit application spot worked best for me.

This is the method I use:
