r/playnite

This is what I have currently set in the settings, and in all four options «tracking mode» it does not work.

\Mod.Organizer-2.5.2\ModOrganizer.exe "moshortcut://:F4SE"

In three of them, the game successfully launches through the mod organizer, but Playnite itself does not see that the game is running. If you set "process", then on the contrary, it writes "launching" and after closing the game in the same.

Because it tracks MO2 (otherwise how to run a game with mods through it), and therefore all this is pointless. That is, Playnite does not see the running game, because it launches it through the organizer mod. If you set it to "folder", then, accordingly, it will see that the game is running and not closed, because the mod organizer is working. And I need him, I don't close it after closing the game.

How can I force the program to see the game starting and closing?

So I've been trying to use the HLTB extension on playnite for a couple months now, and though I was using it fine before its stopped working for the last couple months, I thought it was cause of an update or two just breaking it but even after updates its still not working. Whenever I search games in the system it comes up blank, I've tried turning off my firewall to see if that worked but it didn't fix any thing.

Any ideas?

For those unfamiliar, this is an adaptation of the "Automatic screenshot organizer for non-Steam games" script, I made this a while ago, and now with more experience I've decided to redo it, making it more structured.

*About the Plugin*

It does the same thing the script did: it analyzes your GameBar folder (or any other folder) where your game screenshots are located, then, based on the file names, it moves them to their destination with the corresponding game name. More information on Github.

Now, without copy and paste, everything is implemented in a user-friendly way within the PlayNite interface itself.

I'm keeping an eye out to try and fix any errors until the implementation of this and the other plugin, "GameTask," in the PlayNite library. For now, you need to download the latest ".pext" release from the Github website.

Hi everyone I just purchased the steam controller and to have all the functionalities active is mandatory to have Steam overlay open. I have some game added to playnite in full screen mode. There’s a way to ask playnite do launch games trough Steam, adding as non Steam game, and not trough their launchers?

As the title says, I created a script that can officially function as a plugin in Playnite, but it's wise to ask more experienced programmers for help to check if everything is correct before posting.

* About the plugin

It's nothing innovative, I just didn't get the expected result with "SkipUacTask", so I tried making one with the help of the chatgpt.com and Claude.ai, and it worked for me; I can run games skipping the .exe file. Of course, there are exceptions for games in libraries and with launchers.

Currently, the plugin performs very well with games run directly without a launcher or library, but I hope to find solutions for other cases, as well as how I would inform PlayNite about the original process of the games.

Furthermore, the project is well explained on GitHub "I hope".

Don't expect in-depth support from me, as I'm a layman.

I'm installing playnite in a new computer but the HLTB plugin is not working. I can see user data in the HLTB tab/view but it is not showing data in the library for any game and it shows nothing when I try to see the HLTB data of an specific game

I want to customize the default PS5ish Slim Remix theme similar on the download page in the website:

This is my PS5ish Slim Remix theme right now:

I want to change the top bar, make the games in square format, and remove the achievements.

idk if theres a fix, but when i import valorant into playnite, it doesnt launch valorant directly, just into the riot launcher page for valorant

I'm trying to find what games I have that I haven't played yet. I'm going through the list of installed games but many games that I know are installed show up as NOT. Is there anything I can do to fix this besides go to each game and manually adjust it?

GK3, Septerra, Nox, BG2, all installed, all working, but they're listed as not installed.

I can only get the top played games to start a video on Start Page. I was able to get videos to play once with other games, in regular game shelves, but I am not sure how I did it. There must be a setting that makes this work from another extension?

i chose playnite since when the game starts it goes to the tray and consumes less ram and resource efficient but its taking like 500 to 600mb even maximized and system tray

So with the impending releases of the Steam Frame and the Steam machine, I’m wondering if putting Playnite on the Deck (and later the former two devices), and running it via Proton is worth it? I know the dev has mentioned there’s not really Linux plans at this time, so the proton layer would have to do. But is it worth the effort? Or should I just stick with the UnifiDeck plugin?

Does anybody know how to make Steam games opened through Playnite not open Steam itself? Because there is basically no reason to use Playnite if it opens Steam anyways
