[QUOTE="Molokoids, post: 3853, member: 10283"] Continuing with my testing. I've tested the plugin with 10 games. The look and feel is great, it's really cool to have an overview associated with a game. Launching games using the direct path to the executable gave some bad results. Pro evolution Soccer 3,Painkiller,Max Payne 2, Splinter cell Pandora Tomorow,XIII,Thief 3 started fine but GTA vice city,Need for speed HP2 & Underground,Silent Hill 4,Halo didn't start or crashed. For these games using a link inplace of the executable solves the problem (for GTA, batch file didn't help cause even if you start the program in a command line prompt nothing happens, gta-vc.exe is in memory but the game doesn't start). But the link method works without a hiccup (for the games I've tested). With some games, when exiting Media Portal goes back to the home menu but that's not for all games, Max Payne 2, Halo, Need for speed underground didn't exhibit this behaviour. Thief 3 Deadly shadows, when exiting crashes Media Portal, that's a DirectX issue (see the pic). Maybe that's the game crashing DirectX and that causes Media Portal to crash ?(It's in this type of situation that Media Portal runned as a Service could help).
