Or maybe it's just specifically Far Cry 3. How are you all handling it? There doesn't seem to be an option on the client to auto-play, and there doesn't seem to be an .exe you can use to bypass the uplay launcher. As such, I have the miserable condition of having to manually click "Play" which, since I've opted to use a controller to do over a KB/M, is proving to be very difficult (time sensitive, because XBMC likes to kick back into focus before I can get it).You must have another executable that have been started by the launcher. When your Far Cry 3 game is running take a look at the Windows Tasks manager and identify the process/application/executable corresponding to your game. When using the search tools try to localise the executable file.
Anyone else have similar trouble? Or know of workarounds? I'm pretty sure the solution is AutoIt/AutoHotKey (except i'll just use event ghost, because I'm already using event ghost), but I was hoping for a simpler route than setting a time and praying that hitting enter will make it work.

Trying now but running into this error:Accoring to your error message, there is something wrong with the into the launcher configuration. Could you please post here the content of your launchers.xml file. Also which version of Advanced Launcher are you using? Which version of XBM are your using?

I'm sure it's a simple new user error, any points in the right direction would be great
