How ever when I play the exe from the games folder alone the game works perfectly.
Any ideas? I'm pretty sure I have the right path selected.
kennethk Wrote:Getting a Error Script failed now that I ran then when I try to launch the game.Must be the second reason. Also, have you try to start your games using shortcuts as described here : http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php?ti..._shortcuts
Still no luck though I am able to run xbmc and the game at the same time I have about 8GB of ram and nVide GeForce 120 vid card so it shouldnt be the problem.

Am I listing that batch right?
CPAU -u [b]USERNAME[/b] -p [b]PASSWORD[/b] -ex "[b]PATH_TO_YOUR_GAME_EXE_FILE[/b]" -wait
<launcher>
<name>Game</name>
<application>C:\Windows\CPAU.exe</application>
<args>-u [b]USERNAME[/b] -p [b]PASSWORD[/b] -ex "[b]PATH_TO_YOUR_GAME_EXE_FILE[/b]" -wait</args>
<rompath></rompath>

If we don't have a password would we just leave it as password is it would look like
CPAU -u Kenneth (my PC Usersnames) -p PASSWORD -ex "Gamefile.exe" -wait
CPAU -u Kenneth -ex "C:\complete\path\to\Gamefile.exe" -wait
kennethk Wrote:Still not loading, should I move it along with the other one in windows?What is the game that cause you problem? Are you using the Steam platform? Could you please posrt here the content of your launchers.xml file ?
kennethk Wrote:The game is Bioshock and it I don't know where to find the xml files, I've just been able to Create new launchers via exe and boot my PC games that way.Location of the launchers.xml file depend of the operating system you are using (http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Special_protocol). For example if you are under Windows 7 the launchers.xml file will be located into C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\addons\plugin.advanced.launcher\
