Trigger "Process Ended" fires when app goes from full screen to windowed?

WARNING: You currently have Javascript disabled!

I'm having some trouble with a trigger.

I want it to fire when an application ends (Dragon Age Inquisition, in this case). However, the trigger also fires when I switch from full screen to windowed (ALT-TAB) even though the process is not terminating.

So the trigger works when I exit the game, but fires also when I just tab out temporarily - which is bad in my case.

I've tried a delay before checking match conditions of 300mS, but that didn't help.

I've tried "Windows Destroyed" as an event as well, with similar issues.

I've also confirmed that the executable is the actual game and not a splash screen or something similar. It also does not terminate when going from full screen to windowed - at least not in task manager.

Does anyone have any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Cheers,
Al

That's strange indeed! Could you attach a debug log? Here are the steps:

On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and click Apply
Launch the game, then reproduce the issue
Click the "Export Info to File" button on the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
Reply with the file attached
Disable debug logging after sending the log

First attachment - This is a log of "Window Destroyed" mode firing on "ALT-TAB" going from full screen to windowed mode.

Second attachment - This is a log of "Process Ended" mode. It doesn't fire on ALT-TAB, but also doesn't fire when I quit the game completely.

As an aside - the function does run fine when run by a key-combination.

Thanks! The Window Destroyed one makes sense. The full screen window gets destroyed before the windowed window is created.

The Process Ended thing is a bug, we've put that on our list to fix up

Thanks!

We've just released a new DisplayFusion beta version and Process Ended trigger event should be all fixed up. Please let us know if you run into any trouble after updating.

Thanks!
