[Bug] Steam version does not process RMMZ as being used

[Oscar92player]

Description of the bug:

When you open a project in RPG Maker MZ through the "game.rmmzproject" file, the Steam version will not process the program as being used, meaning that the "Time played" won't be updated after you close it. This can affect the Steam Cloud synchronization, too.

It will only count the time played if you start the RPG Maker MZ through the Steam launcher.

Screenshot of the issue:
Here is a screenshot of the issue when you open the project through the "game.rmmzproject" file. As you can see here, Steam does not say that the program is running right there:


I hope we can get this fixed as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance to the developers!

Yeah it is indeed a weird bug! x(( But I find an advantage to it, strangely. xD Because it allows me to open two or more instances of MZ. Which is great compared to older makes on Steam that only allows one instance of the maker open.

Em... you can still open two or more instances with the other Makers, such as MV, VX Ace, VX or XP as well. And by doing so, Steam will still count the time you spended using the programs.

Trust me, I do things like that almost all the time to compare previous versions of my projects and such.

Omg really? Well, I did not know that! x(( Every time I try to open MV the second time via another project, it just acts as if the first instance should be the only open one.
