Hi, guys! I've learned that I need to run the game at least once for LaunchBox to import. However, of the three Xbox/Microsoft Store games in my library, one of them isn't import. I've tried several different methods without success. The game in question is Doom Eternal. I tested it on versions 13.16 and 13.17 of LaunchBox. Below, are screenshots of the Xbox Storee and also of LaunchBox. Does anyone have any idea how to solve this? Thank you!

After selecting some games and requesting metadata and media updates, LaunchBox follows the standard procedure. If, at the end, there is an error message, a pop-up window opens asking if we want to see the error messages. If a long time passes and the pop-up window is not closed (for example, if you set it to update media and leave the computer), the buttons in the pop-up stop working (Yes button, No button and button to close the pop-up). Therefore, it is not possible to return to LaunchBox because the pop-up has priority. The only way is to kill the LaunchBox task and restart. I have tested this several times and the problem always occurs. I do not know exactly how long the pop-up must be open for the problem to occur, but it always occurs after leaving the pop-up open for a long time. I am using LaunchBox 13.15 in Brazilian Portuguese.

Thanks, @C-Beats !!!

Thank you, C-Beats! All other metadata works fine with the Scrape As, except the controller support. Best regards, gboava.

Hi, guys! I don't know if this is a problem or is on purpose, but when updating metadata, the controller support only updates when the platform name is exactly the same as the default LaunchBox internal name. For example, if I have a platform named 2600, even though the Scrap As option is set to Atari 2600, the metadata update does not add information about controller support. I did some tests by adding new controllers manually and also associating the platform with the controller. Even so, the information is not updated. On the other hand, if the platform name is changed to Atari 2600, the information is updated. I guess the correct thing would be to update based on the Scrape As option, wouldn't be? Thanks! All the best, gboava

Thank you, Jason!

The solution I found here is to leave the "Region" field as blank in all games (this can be done by editing the games together). I think it takes less work than renaming all the roms. But I still think it would be interesting to be able to choose whether we want the game region to overlap or not the priority of regions.

I did other tests and found that LaunchBox always uses the region indicated in the "Region" field of the game as a priority region. For example, if a game is registered with the North America region, then even when the North America box is not checked in the region list, LaunchBox will always give priority to the media in North America folder. My suggestion is to make this option explicit in the choice of region priorities, that is, that there be a box to check if we want to prioritize the region of the game always above the chosen order. Thank you!

Hi guys! I think I found a problem in the operation of the region's priorities for choosing media. Apparently, the North America region does not follow the region's priorities. I did several tests and the LaunchBox always puts North America ahead of other regions, regardless of priority. For example, suppose that for a given game and certain media (say Box - 3D), I have an image in the North America folder, one in the United States folder and another in the Europe folder. Whatever the order of priorities (obviously with the boxes checked), LaunchBox always shows the image of the North America folder. However, when the choice does not involve North America, LaunchBox chooses correctly (I did not do all the tests to confirm that the problem is only with North America, but in all that I did, I only detected problems in this case). Another fact that I would like to highlight, I do not know if it is intentional or if it is an error, when clicking on "Edit" for a given game, LaunchBox does not show all images from all checked regions. Even if there are priorities, I believe that all checked regions should have their images shown, since if the user doesn't want a particular region, he just uncheck the corresponding box. I'm using the latest version 10.14. I'm grateful if anyone can clarify what is happening. Thank you!
