I checked my CPU load and it was fine. But i did finally end up finding the issue. I have a pair of klipsch bookshelf speakers with a 12" sub. Well awhile back when the game SCUM came out. The speakers messed with the mic input on that game so i unplugged them ( they were plugged in via usb) and since then I've left them unplugged. Before this issue happened i plugged them back up. And somehow that was causing the insanely long load times. Sucks because the speakers are amazing but until i figure out what causes it to conflict with my pc. I'll just hook them via Bluetooth. Thanks for the help guys! I never would have thought it was the speakers..... Big box runs smooth as butter now. Back to building my library ?

No. None at all. But i have ruled out launchbox being the issue. I remembered i transferred the whole setup over to my external hard drive before it started happening. So i plugged that up into my desktop and it did the same thing. Plugged it into my laptop and it loaded up super quick. And is butter smooth. So idk what's conflicting with launchbox on my main pc.

My specs are as follows: CPU i7 7700k GPU 1080 ti RAM 32 gb ddr4 I have my roms and launchbox all on the same hard drive. For easy moving. I'm not totally sure what caused it. I know i loaded in a bunch of PS1 files. And that's when it seemed to start. But i removed that platform to see. And it continues to do it.

So I've been enjoying bigbox and messing around with themes and such for a few weeks now. And building up a ROM library. Recently i launched big box and noticed its taking forever to load. And after the start-up video the screen stays black for it to continue loading ( takes about a full minute). And then if i go into the options menu. And back out it lags and has to load for another whole minute for it to be responsive again. All of the other aspects works fine. It's happening on multiple themes. I do have a 8,540 game library. ( I'm addicted now) but i loaded it up at around 7,800 games. And it loaded up fine and worked flawlessly. What could be causing the long load times?
