LaunchBox tries to open multiple instances whilst I'm playing games

[Typhoon68]

Hi,

I'm new to launchbox and just installed it today and I've started to notice a weird glitch.

Whenever I'm playing MAME games and using the joystick ( a basic 8 way joystick with hat switch) it seems like a certain joystick combo in Tekken games causes it to crash out of full screen and attempt to launch another instance of launchbox whilst the other one is still running in the background.

I'm guessing something must be off with the joystick mapping, it's set to auto in mame, but I noticed sometimes just clicking the top two shoulder buttons together 7 and 8 exits the game, but can't figure out which joystick combo is causing multiple instances of launchbox to try and load?

Sometimes it tries to load about 7 different times and brings up a popup menu saying launchbox is already open.

I'm using the latest launchbox version 13 and mame rom pack 0.249 

Anyone know how to fix this issue, it's getting annoying seems only on the fighting games so far like Tekken or Mortal Kombat? 

Cheers

Sounds like you have a third party application set up wrong. Nothing inside of LaunchBox would ever try to launch another instance of LaunchBox (which is what is causing that popup). The button combo to close the game in LaunchBox and Big Box is called "Close Active Window", you can change that to be whatever you need.
