Crash when "Choose UWP app..." button is clicked about autoactions HOT 15 CLOSED

Please try it again with 1.5.10 and post send me the logs.

from autoactions.

Do you need the application logs or the event viewer logs?

from autoactions.

There weren't any logs in event viewer since the application didn't throw an exception and worked as expected, so here's the application log file:

HDRProfile.log

from autoactions.

Also, it's crashing when any added UWP application is launched. I've tried running as admin.

VEGAS	HDRPProfile 1.5.10.0

Another thing I've noticed is that it tries to restart the game even if compatibility mode is unchecked. This only happens if it was initially checked and then unchecked later.

Edit: My bad, I think it actually tries to restart the game regardless. Even when compatibility mode was never enabled and even if the game isn't actually launched from HDRProfile, the log still shows "Starting application XYZ", so I guess it's closing the original process and trying to start it again, which is when the above exception is encountered.

Maybe I was not clear earlier. Sorry. I have tried it both ways.

Noticed another evidence of this. Some steam games don't work right when launched directly via the exe instead of through steam. This has been happening for me with Sea of Thieves, where the game crashes when run from the exe directly and the same thing is happening if I launch it through steam, while it is added in HDRProfile. HDRProfile is grabbing the process, killing it and then restarting it via the exe even though Compatibility Mode is turned off.

Sure thing. Do let me know if you need anything.

OK, what was some cleanup bug. Every app have been restarted. The compatible mode setting has been ingored. Just don't have enough time these days for testing ^^ It looks like UWP apps are a bit more tricky. I have to figure out how to handle them. Some apps are just hosted web apps, so they don't have executables and it looks like I cannot restart them without administrative rights.

from autoactions.

Hey, testing is what the community is here for. So don't worry about that.

BTW, GloSC can launch UWP games. Maybe you can check out their implementation when you get time and it could help? Sorry, I'm a web dev and really clueless about native windows stuff.

from autoactions.

Just as wee addition. I use Playnite to launch games.
https://github.com/JosefNemec/Playnite
It added support for launching UWP apps recently. No idea what method they use , though.
Playnite and HDR profile together are a dream team.
UWP is a pain, though, eh?

from autoactions.

Fixed in 1.6.1

from autoactions.

Does this work for you now?

from autoactions.

Yes. Working perfectly now.
Thanks.

from autoactions.

Alright, then I will close this one.
