AlacrityPc question

[WetOne]

flag4,

I don't think anything wrong is happening. I think that SH3 Commander exits just after it launches SH3. This would explain why the Alacrity PC restart happens before SH3 is loaded! As you were experiencing.

I believe that when you exit SH3, the Sh3 Commander loads again. In other words, it is working just as it should. So, you activate the profile, Sh3 Commander comes on, you load SH3 from SH3 Commander, Sh3 Starts, Sh3 Commander switches off, when you are finished, you switch off SH3, then SH3 Commander turns itself back on, so you can use it again, by editing logs, going to the bar, assigning medals etc. You can hit the "X" at any time after SH3 exits, you don't have to wait for SH3 Commander to exit.

Have I understood you correctly?

Instead of using "stop then restart" use just "stop".
When you are finished with the game, just reboot your computer.
Or you can do as above.

more to the point WO, i think YOU! have put your finger on the *problem.*
when i start through SHCommander it loads through APC and does the job of switching everything off - correct.
then when SHCommander has done this job its time is over, it finishes - so, APC does its job now by switching everything back on
SHCommader does not run constantly in the background of SH3 -am i right? it only saves the game settings on exit of the game?
if this is so, then, its logic that APC switches everything off then starts again as soon as SHCommander is finished - which is just before SH3 begins.
if this is right, how the H*** can i make APC run through Commander and into SH3. it would seem that this is not possible: i am only able to run APC just before SH3 or just before Commander, but not both?
i can only use *PAUSE PROCESSING* in APC.

i think i have understood you. but i dont think i know how to use APC to switch off everything at Commander and start again finishing with Commander.

i hope you understand this!!

i am very grateful for your time on this WO - it has helped clear out my missunderstaning - i think!!

Flag4 - I am coming in late to the party, but last year when I was messing around with APC it acted EXACTLY as you discribe. It is monitoring ONE and ONLY ONE program - in this case SH3Cmdr. So everything happens while monitoring this program, then when it shuts down while starting SH3 - all your presets kick back in. It is why I quit using it - never did find a solution. Of course, I ain't all that smart - some o' th' other folks hyar jist may figure it out!

THANK GOD! you have experienced the same as me. i was begining to think i was going do-lally!!

yesterday i spent 6 hours in and out of Alacrity thinking i was going blind with frustration......

maybe there is a work-around, something the proffesional Alacrity pc users have figured out.

do you use anything now to shut down processes/programmes, i would be interested to hear from you.

thanks for posting Draka

maybe it should become a sticky on how to configure Alacritypc.

here is the User-Written *how to* from the Alacritypc web sight
