The problem is that my script is having a detection issue for the game window, where previously it didn't. Here are the weird symptoms.
- When the Loading screen for the game comes up, my script determines the game window is active - business as usual.
- Once the game loads in, the script no longer recognises the game window as being active. The context-sensitive hotkeys and other WinActive expressions are evaluated as False.
- If I relaunch the script manually at this point, all WinActive expressions magically start evaluating as True again and everything works fine.
1. my Winactive(identifiers) are correct, because the script does work - it just needs to be reloaded to do so. WindowSpy also concurs that none of the gaming window's identifiers have in fact changed.
This only started following a game patch, but I'm not sure what they could have changed to cause this. I can work around this by using a non-sensitive hotkey to reload the script but I'm very curious as to why this is happening and wondering if anyone has any thoughts on what might be going on here.

*edit* I tried adding a non-context-sensitive hotkey but it simply doesn't work once the game has loaded. I have found if I use it while the loading screen is up, the script reloads and everything works fine. I'm so puzzled right now.
I'm starting to wonder Riot introduced anti-cheat/spam measures into their game because I have also found that - for example, using a hotkey to Send, {Enter} does not open the chat box in game, while using the actual Enter key does. Yet you can use the send command to Send, some text {Enter} once the chat box is already open and it sends just fine.
