Start extractor after a game has launched

[museumsteve]

A couple of times I've had issues where I've had to come back out of a game and then back in and even though Extractor is open I didn't use it to launch the game. I cannot see a way to start extractor if the game is already running so I have to completely exit the game and start again using extractor, is there a way round this?

I don't know if there's a workaround for that, but even so, it's probably better to start the game normally from Extractor, to load all the stuff needed, plugins etc, rather than do it in the middle of the game. It can come to some problems between the game and x-sim otherwise, maybe game freezing, crashing..

Thanks for the quick reply
I guess it makes sense, just frustrating sometimes when I have to exit the game and restart..some games have rubbish loading times
