Control issues when played with --startMinimized enabled #758

The following games have control issues when playing with --startMinimized enabled

After Burner Climax - no controls work Lets Go Jungle & Lets Go Jungle Special - gun movement stutters

I confirm that (at least for ABC). I mentioned it a few times on discord, but didn't bother make an issue. That's the reason i don't use --startMinimized

I can't reproduce it, both the elfldr1 and elfldr2 versions of ABC seem to work just fine using startMinimized. (Tried both xinput and dinput)

What windows version are you two on? Desktop or Laptop? I think it might be related to windows 11 (and maybe 10) where it can throttle background processes. Because TPUI is responsible for all the IO, if thats throttled you would get these kinds of issues.

I use Windows 11, yes. Amd gpu if that matter. If i start .\TeknoParrotUi.exe --startMinimized --profile="C:\teknoparrot\UserProfiles\abc.xml" I will not get any inputs. If i use .\TeknoParrotUi.exe --profile="C:\teknoparrot\UserProfiles\abc.xml" it's working.

Not that a big deal from me, i can just mimimize tp ui after launch, but back when i had this issue it was an headache to figure out what went wrong.

I am on Win 11 with an Nvidia 3070. @nixxou you dont have to write the path to the profile, it should work just with „profile=abc.xml“

nixxou commented 1 month ago

I prefer to use the full path It's just personal preference and convenience.

A bit of a late response, but it might be worth playing around with some of the workarounds mentioned here, as I think it's a case of windows throttling background processes. (aka TPUI when it is running minimized)

Thank you @EmiMidnight for your response. I tried it with power throttling disabled but that changed nothing, no controls with --startMinimized enabled.
