Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has recent experience using AC Tool with Star Wars Galaxies (most of the posts I have read here have been out of date by several years). My problem is that I am unable to get my game client to respond to mouse or keyboard commands sent by AC Tool. Other programs do respond just fine to ACT commands.

- running SWG in windowed mode, launched via Sony Station Launcher
- game was recently installed (May 2009)
- using MS Vista, also have tried running the client in WinXP compatibility mode
- the command "SetActiveWindow Star Wars Galaxies" does correctly activate the client's window, but the client does not respond to any further commands

I am thinking this game might run "always on top", as when I alt-tab out, the client window remains visible and cannot be minimized. This may be causing the client to be unable to respond to mouse / keyboard calls from other programs (ACTool). Would there be a workaround for that?

Sure sign the game is using DirectInput and if that is the case ACTool will not work with it.

I haven't played SWG since I beta tested SWG:Jump to Light Speed, I've thought about reactivating the accounts(3). But I'd reactivite AC1 before I'd do SWG again. tongue.gif

Make sure you launch BOTH ACTOOL and SWG with "Run as Administrator" privileges by rt-clicking their respective icons and choosing "Run as Administrator" even if you are logged in with an admin account.
