Whenever I use the Steam version of AoC, it only records time while I'm in the patcher. If I enter the game, Steam thinks I'm not in-game and I don't record the playtime.
Another friend uses the Steam version, and their playtime is recorded while in-game, just mine isn't.
Any help would be appreciated!
Did you install the game from Steam or do you run normal install through Steam?
I downloaded it from Steam.Quote:

Steam launches the DX10 client, yet it only sees the launcher as a game, not the actual game. (I can Shift+TAB in the launcher, but not in-game).Quote:

That is why i asked if you could check both clients, go to options in the patcher to set it to what you want, and you can confirm the setting under video settings when you come ingame.
Thanks, I saw that Steam launches ageofconan.exe to get the patcher, and it wants ageofconan.exe to track gametime. ageofconandx10.exe makes Steam think I closed the game.Quote:

There's probably a way to get DX10 out of the DX9 client, but mine loves to change executables.Quote:
