  1. Hey LB team. I'm getting an error that happens each time I open LB. It just started today, and I even tried a couple backups without any luck. Could anyone shed some light on what's going on here?

    Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: <. Path '', line 0, position 0.

    Can you give us more details about your display, the resolution, the scaling, or anything else you can think of that might be out of the ordinary with your setup.

    Thanks. We were able to reproduce that navigation bug and we'll get it fixed up.

    As far as why you are not seeing any Achievement information, that's still unclear. You could potentially try and reset your RetroAchievement webAPI, then update it in LaunchBox and see if that changes anything for you.

    I did a few tests but aren't seeing anything out of the ordinary with regards to the auto-pop system. We also haven't touched this system in a very long time. Can you open up a separate thread and show your exact playlist rules, what games you are expecting to see, and what games you are seeing instead.

    I believe this is something that's always been the case when it comes to missing folder locations. Can you add your 2 cents to this ticket so we can keep track of it:  https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/8030/hard-crash-while-using-platform-edit

    Interesting feedback. Between the two betas nothing was actually changed code-wise when it comes to the RetroAchievement integration, so my best guess is that their API may have been getting hit harder the second time you tested with beta 5.

    Good to hear about the Discovery Center.

    I currently have my PC hooked to an 8K TV, so could it just be a scaling issue? I believe it scales up 500% by default. I'll check it on lower scaling when I get a chance.

    Just checked. Doesn't appear to be affected by changing the scaling.

  3. Thanks for the update LB team. For whatever reason, the Game Discovery Center is having issues for me. Once I scroll down about 5 or 6 times, the options don't show up, and all I see is the background. It seems to consistently be a problem once I get to the Compete for High Scores tab.

     

    Added a couple screenshots of issues I'm having. The text is large if no clear logo is present. The second image shows what happens if I scroll down several times.

  4. Thanks for the Game Discovery Center addition LB team. Very cool feature. Couple little things:

    When the game doesn't have a clear logo, the white placeholder text only gets a few letters on the screen for the preview. Any chance it could be resized when there isn't a clear logo?

    Also, seeing how the setup has a similar vibe to Netflix, is there any chance the game video could play after being on a selection for a few seconds? Netflix does it as a kind of preview, thought it might look good in this setup as well.

     

    Either way, thanks for the continued improvements!

  5. Hey everyone. Is anyone having issues with controller bindings working in Manuals/Additional App PDFs in BB? I believe I first noticed it in this beta. I can only scroll through the pages using the Pg Up and Pg Down keys.

  6. Thanks for the updates LB team. With regards to the storefronts, my EA login needs to be redone on a daily basis. Does anyone know if that's something that could be changed, maybe even within EA itself?

  7. Hey LB team, 

    One small aspect I noticed when going thru my 3DO collection was that the boxes for that system were more of a VHS style box, and there doesn't seem to be any 3D box options that would fit that shape from what I've seen (unless of course I missed it). I attached an example.

  8. I'm getting the "Could not retrieve achievements" error in BB for any game I've checked, not sure if it's from this beta. I've verified my API key and rescan all my roms for the correct hashes.

  9. Managed to crop the logo part down so it allows me to upload here. It's Tomorrow Never Dies 64 for the N64. Any chance anyone can give it a clear background?

  10. Quick question: is there some way for the "Recent" section in Big Box to not display games that aren't played? For instance, if I do a search and scroll through the games, all the games are showing up on my Recent list, even though I haven't played them. I thought I remember one of the LB devs saying it had to do with the game being "modified"?
