Hello

I just installed this addon in Gotham, using Windows 8.1.

It sucessfully launches steam BP and from there I launch Assetto Corsa (race sim). The game launches But it crashes whenever I try to start a race. This doesn't happen if I start Steam by clicking the desktop icon. It only happens if I start Steam using Steam Launcher. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I have that game and it has been really crash prone for me too - I never thought steam-launcher could be causing the issue because none of my other games exhibit anything remotely similar. I posted about it on the AC forums (although I never mentioned xbmc or steam launcher) And they said it was a problem with python and after in stalling external python and jumping through some hoops I was able to start a race, but it still crashed a lot. Before installing python the only references to python i could find on my system were from xbmc and ambibox. I'll look into it but I have no idea what the problem could be - unless AC really doesn't like autohotkey. Could you try running AC from steam BPM (no xbmc) and again with xbmc running in the background(not via steam-launcher)?
Here is my thread on ac forums, maybe asking about the issue there could shed some light on the problem, because its got me stumped.

Steam Launcher + XBMCbuntu v13

Thanks for this great write up teeedubb. Life's got in the way of me installing steam on my minimal installation, but when I get some time, I'm going to tryout xbmcbuntu again give this a shot.

Cheers. Let me know how it goes, I don't use xbmcbuntu so I can't test everything extensively, although I do use a lot of that info on my machine. I've nutted out how to have pulseaudio and alsa both automatically work in xbmc with no user input on my system, so it's possible to have the best of both worlds, but I haven't tested it on xbmcbuntu yet. Ill update that post when I get around to trying it out.
