I noticed this with older 4.xx versions but thought it might of been issue with evaluation time expired but now since I had to do full OS (XP) install I am noticing it on latest .
Issue after setting up a app for game mode , with PL running after OS is started and I start up the app in game mode, the first time I run it it will not be in game mode. If I close and restart all works fine . It is not PL in that you can close PL and restart does not bring issue back. its after OS starts and first run of any app set up in game mode .
note Sometimes it does work but for me it repeatable with few real games , like UT3 demo for example . I first thought that path was not right as upper/lower case was not right but that didn't change anything .
PS: if it matters I have PL starting manually, not login ,auto-starting .

This is now fixed in v5.0.0.19. Thank you for reporting it.
This new build is being created now. It will be available in a few minutes after this post.
5.00.19 seems to fixed it so far .
no problem with updating either (auto-update 5.00.17>5.00.19 ) .
I guess this issue was tied to rules not working right .

Good to hear, it has also done well in my testing. My regret is of course that it was ever broken. All is well that ends well I guess. Let me know if you see any other problems.
