Pause game time tracking (Incognito mode) #3716
Comments
Currently, you can set up an action to launch the game and untick the 'Play action.' This should prevent it from affecting the playtime and date. |
Thank you for the tip! Can you please show me a screenshot of how the setting should look? I'll give it a try tomorrow. |
When the "Play action" checkbox is disabled, my games don't run at all. I still want to be able to run them. I guess it's different with emulators. |
You need to launch it from the "More" menu. |
Ah, thank you very much! That's it! More > Game name launches the game without changing my play time or last played date, much appreciated! |
Feature description
I want to be able to tick a checkbox for certain games to no longer record play time for them. In doing so, I don't want the play time to increase, nor do I want the date last played to update.
Use case: I have many childhood games that I've painstakingly added to Playnite complete with their original play times and dates last played. Examples include a 199 hour save file of a DS game that I last played on a specific date in 2014. I want to be able to launch that game through Playnite without it updating the original play time/date that I manually set.
Currently, I open the installation folder and simply run the game manually, but it's super annoying having to locate the game and emulator just to launch it when it's already fully set up in playnite.
#2405 This extension is similar to what I want in that it lets you pause game tracking while already in-game, for when you AFK or whatnot. I just want to be able to do this before launching the game.
