Some executables seem to wipe or corrupt buffers somehow so that subsequent commands don't run after the game runs and exits. I noticed this again in Dune Cd. It's not a big deal, but i would like my conf files to be self-sufficient and to call 'exit' at the end. Anyone have a general solution for this, not only applying to singular execs?

That seems to be a bit of a stretch..?

If I'm not mistaken, using the command "call whatever.exe" instead of "whatever.exe" may work better.

Well at least exit was not called. IRC dune cd builds a bat file and that is what needs running before the exit in the conf file (that exists), maybe something is happening with that. I'll try calling.

edit: yeah, call DUNE.BAT worked.
