Can't detect LOL application when gaming. #43

I don't whether it is the full screen mode to cause this problem, it seems that it can't detect the lol application.

aardappel commented 6 years ago

Yeah, I've seen that with a few games, and I am not sure what these games do differently that makes them appear not active.

sandyUni commented 5 years ago

I guess I find the problem. Some game have the ability to mask some specific keys. For example, LOL will mask all the a-z characters. I guess this is some anti-cheat mechanism. I run the procrastitracker as administrator, it seems detect all the keys

sandyUni commented 5 years ago

So I think other games have the same mechanisms, and run as admin should be work

sandyUni commented 5 years ago

However, the latest version of proc...tracker is readily to deal with it, cause LOL always run as full-screen which will never has idle states, lol.
