Hey norby!
Thank you for the explanation of the problem and all those debug logs. It's very helpful.
Hmmm.. Do you get any crash messages when you experience those launch fails for non-Steam games in internal mode? There are definitely cases where injecting a .dll can cause a game to crash, but the app should restart the game and try again. Is that not happening?
These launch issues have no real relevancy to Steam at all, in fact, you should generally have more problems with Steam games than vice-versa. It sounds more like an indie game issue. Unless these non-Steam games have their own launchers. Fyi, next update should make booting Steam games pain-free, not that it would help your case much, heh.
The explanation you gave does give me a pretty good clue to what is actually going wrong.
Could you please try to install the old 0.4.3 version and see if that works in Desktop/Attached mode?

For the crashdumps you have in those logs;
1. I see that you had some crashes launching a few games that seem to require administrator privileges to run. Please try the "GameTranslate_compatibility_mode.exe" found in the install folder or simply run GameTranslate as Admin. Let me know if that works! (I can't tell you which game/games it is, as that information couldn't be accessed..)
2. There's a crash related to the screenshot API. Try going into General settings and change the screenshot API to DXGI. Not entirely sure why this crash is happening, but it could also be related to Admin issues.
Thank you!
