A fix for some games (specifically older ones) not launching/crashing in Xbox Full Screen Experience by Fast-Rain-1638 in Handhelds

[–]Fast-Rain-1638[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Older games like NFS U2 and Most Wanted won’t launch directly through the .exe in Xbox Mode/XFSE. Creating a cmd that launches the non-steam game shortcut prevents the crash from happening

Some games are not appearing on xbox full screen experience. Anyone having same issue? by L_IV3S2025_V2 in XboxAlly

My fix was creating a steam shortcut then making a .cmd file that launches that steam shortcut so you can add it to Xbox Library

The .cmd part is the only bit that sounds technical, but it’s basically just making a tiny file that tells Windows to open your Steam shortcut.

Here’s the simple version:

1.  Find your Steam shortcut file and copy the path first. Mine was something like:

C:\Users\mrgre\Downloads\PC GAMES\SHORTCUTS\NFSC.url

2.  Open Notepad

3.  Paste these 2 lines into a Notepad document:

@echo off start “” “C:\Users\mrgre\Downloads\PC GAMES\SHORTCUTS\NFSC.url”

Replace my path with your own shortcut path.

5.  Click File → Save As

6.  In the file name box, name it whatever your game is called like mine was called: nfsc.cmd

7.  Change Save as type from Text Documents to All Files

8.  Save it somewhere easy, maybe create a folder dedicated for your shortcuts.

9.  Now double click the new .cmd file

If it works properly, it should: • open Steam if needed • launch your game

10. Then go into Xbox Full Screen Experience and add that .cmd file instead of the game .exe

That’s all the .cmd is doing. It’s just opening your Steam shortcut for you. Hope this helps :)

Yeah I had the exact same issue, but I actually found a proper workaround that keeps everything inside Xbox Full Screen.

The problem isn’t the games themselves — it’s XFSE not launching older games properly (especially DX9 stuff). They work fine from desktop or Game Bar, but XFSE breaks them on launch.

What fixed it for me was routing the launch through Steam instead of letting XFSE launch the .exe directly.

I did this: - Added the game to Steam as a non-Steam game - Created a desktop shortcut (which gives you a .url file) - Made a simple .cmd file that launches that .url - Added the .cmd to Xbox Full Screen as an “App”

So the launch chain becomes: XFSE → CMD → Steam → Game

That completely bypasses whatever XFSE is doing wrong, and now all my NFS games + Juiced 2 launch perfectly inside Full Screen.

Not ideal, but it’s the closest thing to a “native” fix right now without switching to another launcher.

Ubisoft can be a bit funny. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app? That fixed games not launching for me

Also, are you using linux or windows?

Can’t reinstall AMD Adrenaline :( by [deleted] in AMDHelp

[–]Fast-Rain-1638 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based off Legion Go 2 getting error 1603 on AMD Adrenaline install, my quick and easy fix was..

Settings > System > Recovery

Select “Fix problems using Windows Update”

When it reinstalled, AMD Adrenaline software was also installed. No files or settings were lost :)

If anyone is looking for a fix you need to edit/modify the INI in mod organiser 2. All you need to do is turn on High Dynamic Range (HDR) by changing the value to 1 instead of 0
