5 years ago You create a steam_appid.txt file with game's appid in there and put it in the game directory. Then, as long as Steam is running, you can just spawn majority of the games via a debugger without issues and they will not relaunch from Steam.
That's almost definitely what you need for your problem - just configure X1nput's project debugger to launch DOOM and debug this way.

5 years ago Oh, Thanks a lot. I'm still not able to start DOOM this way (I'm getting Application load error), but I was able to run HITMAN 2, which should be good enough.

5 years ago Application load error sounds like they either didn't integrate SteamAPI properly (doubtful) or that you placed a wrong appid in steam_appid.txt.
I don't have the game to test, sadly.

5 years ago Also, minor issue which I don't feel like opening a spearate issue for:
This won't work: https://github.com/araghon007/X1nput/blob/configurable/X1nput/dllmain.cpp#L76
You probably want to use _tcsicmp here to compare against "true", case insensitively.
What you did here is a pointer comparison, which in your case will never ever return true.

5 years ago Yeah, I'm not sure why I thought it worked, but I'm working on a pretty big update now. Should be released in less than an hour.

5 years ago Well, so far the only games I found that crash when the controller is unplugged are the ones I can't get to debug. Btw, this is the error I'm getting (So far happened with DOOM and Rocket League)

5 years ago Found out using attaching visual studio debugger to a process works fine.
So it turns out I was wrong about DOOM support. The DLL I tested it with was actually the Debug DLL, Release DLL seems to cause the game to crash. I have no idea how to debug games on Steam, so if someone could help me figure out what's causing this mismatch, I would really appreciate it.
