Detect Steam game launch
I have a script (.ahk) that I want to run when I launch a game from Steam, but me and many others I know that want this use the Steam UI to launch the game, so making a desktop shortcut is out of the running, and I don't want a script that runs in the background constantly. Is there a way to detect Steam launching a game or tell Steam to start additional programs?
