Tekken 8 Steam & Non-Steam version (for testing purposes! ;) ) loading in the background in BigBox

[lessthanzero33]

Tekken 8 no matter the version will always load in the background. I have either toggled on/off and disabled/enabled Game Startup Screen, Aggressive Startup Window Hiding, Hide All Windows that are not in Exclusive Fullscreen Mode and even moved the Startup Load Delay around some and nothing is working. Any ideas?, i would love for someone who also owns Tekken 8  to test this as well! oh and btw, my other Steam games work as designed with no issues.

I have the same with Mortal Kombat XL

Try changing the game from borderless to fullscreen or viceversa. That does it for me on games with that issue. I'll test Tekken 8 when I get home later today.

I tried it using both fullscreen and borderless and it still loads in the background. Let me know how you made out on your end with it. Thanks!

I just tested the Steam version and it seems that the window focus issue at start is caused by the splash screen. You can fix it by disabling the splash screen. 

To disable the splash screen, right click the game on Steam, select Properties..., in LAUNCH OPTIONS. add the following:

-NoSplash

It should look like this:

If for some reason you're not launching it through Steam and you're launching the game's exe directly, add the previous code "-NoSplash" to the Application's Command Line parameters on LaunchBox.

It should look like this:

(Right click the game on LaunchBox, select Edit > Edit Metadata/Media, then go to the Launching section on the left panel)

 

Alternatively you can disable the splash screen by just renaming or deleting the splash image located within the game's files (".\TEKKEN 8\Polaris\Content\Splash\Splash.bmp").

I can confirm that the Steam version is working now just like my other Steam games!, thank you soooo much for the assistance! I was going a little crazy thinking it was just me. Other games in my Steam library work perfectly but i just could not get this one to work! I cannot thank you enough!
