Yeah, you could apply for the Useless Use of Cat Award ;-)

Using LaunchInfo.txt from within this script is a race condition.
LaunchInfo.txt is created after forking the child process that
executes the game (i.e. your script).

fs_game. That method is used for RTCW too now. Are you familiar with
compiling stuff from CVS so you can try it out?
