Opening the PRO Client through the steam library

[Reallyfluffy4]

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to find a way to play this game using an X-input controller by mapping the controller to keyboard inputs.

 

I realized I can do this through the built-in functionality on steam.
For this I need to add the executable to the steam game library by "adding a non-steam game to steam" which is working fine.

 

When I'm trying to launch the game however (now from the steam library) I'm getting the error shown in the picture and the game does not launch. Keep in mind when launching the executable directly or through a normal shortcut on the desktop it's opening just fine.

After some digging I came across this old forum post: "https://pokemonrevolution.net/forum/topic/170407-cant-open-the-game" which visually looked the same but unfortunately adding the launch options specified in the thread didn't fix the issue.

Thanks for any help on this

Hi,

 

I also get the same error since the latest PRO Client update.

The new client needs admin rights and I guess thats the problem with the steam compatibility.

 

I hope the problem will be fixed soon...

Hi @Purtoxrevo,

 

Reporting back on this, I found a solution to get it running.
Right mouse click the executable > Properties > Compatibility > *tick* Run this program as an administrator. > OK.
Now it launches properly via the steam library. Thx for the hint on the admin rights!

@Reallyfluffy4Thank you so much! I had the same problem. Made it launch as administrator and now it works perfectly!
