Doesn't work anymore since last Playnite update (10.19)

[jaceneliot]

Hi ! i have Playnite 10.19 and GameActivity 3.1.0. It doesn't work anymore :( It doesn't track time and i can't even see the oldest activites i recorded...Is there any issue with the extension ? I resinstalled it but it still doesn't work...

I noticed it take longer than usual to load too.

As we can see, there is nothing about oldest activity except in Gantt view...

Thanks for the help.

Hi ! Is is still updated :( ?

@jaceneliot don't know if that helps you in any way. But I have no such issues with 10.19 so far. Gantt and playtime records are present for my game sessions, even for the most recent ones. ...as long as they were initiated through Playnite.

I don't know if it helps, but I found that I get this same error when my tracking path is incorrect.

Hi. Thanks. And how do you correct it ? Thanks

@jaceneliot It would be in the Edit menu for the game. In my case I had defined some custom launch options in the Actions tab and had to fix some of the paths.

Hi. I'm not sure to understand. The whole extension don't work anymore... it's not just one game. Do you have any idea how to fix it ?

At first I thought the whole extension was broken since I got an error every time I launched a game and it failed to record the session, but it turned out that all the games I had tested on had something incorrect in the Edit menu. I still get the same error from GameActivity when I first launch PlayNite as I did when launching a game with incorrect path information, but I don't get this error when I tested a fresh install on a different system. This leads me to believe I still have some path somewhere which is incorrect. but the plugin seems to be working fine despite this error (See screenshot) so I haven't put much effort into getting rid of the error on my main system.

[jaceneliot]

Hi. I'm really sorry but do you think it's possible to explain me better or do some screenshots of the actual "edit" menu and what you have to change. I'm sorry it's maybe because english it's not my mother tongue but i can't understand what you are talking about. Thanks !

At first I thought the whole extension was broken, but it turned out that all the games I had tested on had something incorrect in the Edit menu which caused the tracking the fail. I still get the same error from GameActivity when I first launch PlayNite as I do when launching a game with incorrect path information, so I assume this means I still have some path somewhere which is incorrect, and I don't get this error when I tested a fresh install on a different system.

1. Right click on a game and click "Edit" from the menu

2. This window should appear

3. Click the "Installation" tab. Verify the installation path is correct

4. Repeat with any paths you have entered in the "Action" tab. This is the tab I had to fix, but you may not have anything on this tab. It should be fine if this tab is empty though.

If all of that is correct, the only things I know to try are completely uninstalling Playnite and then reinstalling with just the GameActivity plugin, and verifying that the RivaTuner Statatistics Server that GameActivity gathers data from is actually working.

In case it matters, I am using GameActivity with RivaTuner Statistics Server 7.3.3 and MSI Afterburner 4.6.4.16255 specifically.

It is completely broken for me and there are no logs, even if I check the "log trace messages". I have checked the extension folders and the playnite.log, are there any other places where extension logs would be written to?

I verified the paths and just installed two games fresh, same issue. No session tracking and the old sessions aren't even displayed. The loading of the GameActivity screen also takes forever even though there are only a handful of entries in the gameactivity dataset.

07-01 04:00:02.148|DEBUG|GamesEditor:Game session was too short for client to be shutdown.

Playnite recognized the launch and shutdown of the game fine, but the session was not recorded in GameActivity (I tried with a 20 minute session as well, turned off the 'don't log if session is shorter than...", same outcome.

It broke for me two days ago (Jan 4th 2024), which shouldn't coincide with a Playnite update, but not sure what triggered it. I tried disabling the addon and then re-enabling it, didn't help. Completely uninstalling the addon and reinstalling didn't fix it, either.

Edit: Playnite showed me an error notification and let me export a log package then:

I found the issue that caused my recording to stop and the UI to be slow. See https://github.com/Lacro59/playnite-gameactivity-plugin/issues/196#issuecomment-1880547108 but in short: Delete the Configurations.json in the ExtensionsData folder of the GameActivity extension. For me it was written with nonsense and the reading of it failed. Once I deleted it, it got recreated properly (when I opened the addon config dialogue and saved) and it worked since then.

Hi.

As I said, I fresh installed Playnite (make sure to save library but not extension and extension data). Save manually the older sessions and all the data you would need. Now it's working for me fine again.
