NVSE and things like xfire/raptr/comrade

Post » Fri Aug 26, 2011 1:16 pm

Ok, alot of my most important mods use NVSE, such as pipboy readius (god pipboy normaly is so ugly and bulky). Now I know normaly steam would keep track of my played time, but only some of my games are steam purchases, so I wanna pick something like xfire/raptr/comrade to track my played hours, but if none of them can run the game with NVSE (or OBSE for that matter) its gonna really svck, cause FNV and Oblivion or some of my most played games.

Anyhow, I hope someone has some good advice, thanks in advance.

If it's having problems because nvse_loader closes immediately after launch, have your launcher add -waitforclose to the nvse_loader command line. If it's having problems because nvse_loader launches a child process to run the game, then there isn't much I can do to help you; that's a bug in xfire/whatever.

Yeah, the problem is external launchers (pretty much the same as steam) Only recognise you are playing if you launch it with them, so far from what I can tell anyhow, but there must be a way around it if people on steam can see you are playing new vegas if you don't use NVSE, because the steam launcher still uses normal game launcher which then launches the actual game exe.

Honestly I don't have much experience with these alternative chat overlay/game tracking programs thats why I don't know which one is best for me.
