Game mode not loading On Start Layouts

[Sapphica69]

I just upgraded to Windows 11, and I can't get Rainmeter to load a ON START layout for game mode, all skins are unloaded instead.

For testing I used Notepad.exe in the additional process list. I made a test layout and set it to ON START.
I made a default layout for ON STOP. I start Notepad and everything is unloaded instead of the test layout. I stop Notepad and the default layout is loaded correctly.

Yep, following your directions this happens to me too. I'm going to move this thread into the Bugs & Feature Suggestions forum.

Thanks for the bug report. This should be fixed for the next release.

Great! Thank you for the fast response and making an awesome program!

This bug is still present for me, On Start doesn't load the layout, even though I set a layout, but On Stop works fine.
I added the Rainmeter Log too, the settings file isn't read after entering game mode for some reason.

I believe this was fixed on October 9th. Rainmeter version 4.5.16.3687 was released on September 20th.

While fixed, a release has not happened yet.

PS - A new release should happen before Christmas, hopefully.

Whoops, based on past behavior I assumed the commits for RM are pushed only when a release is happening, it would be kinda stupid now that I think about it since the Justify prototype should have been pushed, and then removed right after (because of Windows 7) before for the build, sounds like nonsense because it is. I have seen the previous reply but I assumed it was forgotten too.
Sorry for the confusion, gonna double this reply as marking the post for fixed/checked (hope non-OPs can do it too).
