Hey everyone! So, I've been having a great time getting Attract Mode up and running - think it's brilliant. I've been using it for MAME, but I've run into some weird problems with Steam games through it.
So: on Steam in my attract mode install I have Mortal Kombat 9, Mortal Kombat 10, Injustice: Gods Among Us, Skullgirls, Ultra Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter X Tekken. (You can see a theme to the purpose of my arcade cabinet emerging, no doubt...)
Both MK games and Injustice run from within Attract mode, and successfully quit back to it when you hit exit to desktop. Everything is great there. However, I'm having trouble with the other three.
Skullgirls just doesn't boot at all; Attract Mode freezes up like it always does when booting into steam but then nothing happens. If I alt tab out and back in attract mode resumes as if I've just quit the game that never launched.
Both Street Fighter games have a weird, different issue: they go to boot but then offer up this: "Fatal error - Failed Creating the Direct3D Device". This sounds like a hardware issue on paper, but these games boot absolutely fine from inside Steam itself. It's just whenever attract mode is involved things go wrong, and I can't figure out why - if it's a setting I need to change or what. Most help I can find suggests uninstalling and reinstalling display drivers to fix this issue. I've done this with no impact, and as I say everything works A-OK without Attract Mode. Weirder still is that there have been occasions once or twice where they DID boot fine through attract mode, but now it is consistently spitting out this error.
In the Attract Mode command line it's worth saying whenever I boot a seam game it spits out "Warning: Could not locate rom." errors, but it even does that for the games that work fine.
Any ideas? Thanks!
