You can try to use the program tweak "PauseCheckIfWindowExists" and define the window title of the game. When the window with the defined window tilte is in foreground, WebSite-Watcher will pause AutoWatch or a running bookmark check.

 

You can use the Windows Task Manager to get the window title. When playing the game, press Ctrl+Shift+Esc, this will start the Windows Task Manager where you can see the window titles of running applications.

PauseCheckIfWindowExists=

Pauses AutoWatch or running checks if the defined windows are in foreground. Define one or more window titles, separated by the ; character. You can for example use this feature when working with a certain program or playing a game and you don't want to check bookmarks in that time. You can use the Windows Task Manager to figure out the window title.

WebSite-Watcher will check if the defined strings are part of the foreground window title. All definitions are case insensitive.

Example: PauseCheckIfWindowExists=notepad;My Game;Video Player
