  feat(launch): run monitor — one game at a time, verified start, back to game

  LastSkywalker released this 2026-10-04 13:39:12 +03:00

  Play was fire-and-forget: a game that crashed on start (missing DLL), a stub
  exe waiting on an absent launcher, or a stalled Steam update all looked like
  "nothing happened" — and in shell mode the launcher stayed minimized over an
  empty desktop. Nothing stopped a second game from launching on top of the
  first, and there was no way to see or return to a running game.

  • internal/gamerun: tracks the launched game by install dir (full image
    paths), reports launching/running/exited/failed via gamerun:changed +
    GetRunState; maps exit codes to causes, detects launch timeouts with
    store-client hints, finds/focuses the game window, closes it (WM_CLOSE,
    then terminate, scoped to the install dir only). Adopts games started
    outside GameSaver.
  • LaunchGame refuses while another game is active; the UI asks back to it /
    close it and launch / cancel (controller-driven choiceModal).
  • Running-game bar (desktop) and pill + "back to game" hero button (shell).
  • Shell restores itself when a launch fails; playtime-based restore gated so
    a killed game's late session-end can't cover the next game.
  • Launcher: pre-check exe exists; ERROR_ELEVATION_REQUIRED -> UAC runas.
  • winutil.RestoreAndForeground only restores minimized windows (SW_RESTORE
    un-maximized borderless-fullscreen games).
