Are you writing 100% external code or are you creating a plugin for LaunchBox? The answer would change the suggestion.

When is the last time you did an integrity check on your drive? Big Box shouldn't ever be affecting you the way you described. It is possible though that a bad sector could cause issues similar to some of the symptoms you are referring to. Also would be worth while to enable debug logging if not on already and then posting the log to see if there is anything in there that could provide more clues as to what is happening.

Pretty sure we have a ticket for it, but if not that is the best place for it.

Just looked though and we bind LastPlayed as a string not a DateTime so that won't work. Won't currently be able to change the date format that way.

Should also be able to just use: Text="{Binding LastPlayed, StringFormat={}{0:dd/MM/yyyy}}" or can use the OS settings by using the following: Text="{Binding LastPlayed, StringFormat={}{0:d}}"

Glad it worked out.

You would need to make your own Badge Plugin to create your own badge. Badge interface is pretty simple but you would need at least entry level C# knowledge/skills to do create one.

Top of the webpage go to Help & Support > Request a Feature. We track feature requests there so that other users can vote on them. This is personally a new one for me. Do those games not produce an executable you can just drag into LaunchBox? What information do you think we would be able to scrape and from what source?

I would review that your background image priorities didn't get messed up. Inside of LaunchBox go to Options > Legacy > Images > Background Priority. Hit the "Revert to default" button and then set them the way you had them originally. This should correct what you are seeing.

I would take your new install that is working and move over the all the data files from the previous install to it. Only do the files in folder UNDER data, not the files in the root of data (Settings.xml, BigBoxSettings.xml, etc). Those files have all your platform, playlist, and game information in them. Try to open Big Box after that and see if it works. If not you may need to do it one at a time and see which breaks it as you could have a potential data issue causing the error. IF that works you can start migrating your media back over (Images and Videos folder).

Yeah. All you have to do is add a new game and set the application path to the correct path (which is "steam://rungameid/251570") but replace the numeral with the game you are adding (and don't add the quotes). Once added you can use the Download Metadata and Media tool or the Add/Edit game window to pull Steam metadata/media like you normally would as well as determine install state on startup and launch via Steam.

We don't use local files to determine what games you do or do not have. We utilize the Steam API. Because of this we can only see what they tell us is there. Unfortunately it would seem not all games appear in that API and I have been unable to find a definitive list of why that is the case.

This behavior is intentional for multiple reasons. First is because in code we ask the program for that folder during several processes and need to know both 1) is it there and 2) can we add it. If we don't see it, and also can't create it there could be some IO permission errors occurring and we need to stop what we are doing until corrected. Another reason we do it is for new users. Having the folder available makes adding things to the appropriate folder much easier because a user doesn't have to create the folder and make sure it is named right, it is already there and they can simply drag files to it.

Check your background image priorities and make sure everything is still turned off.

Audit takes real time information, we don't cache/save any information in that window. All columns should be able to be copied over to Google Sheets or Excel. Checkboxes should read as "TRUE" or "FALSE" and links should just copy over the link text. If there are columns that aren't doing so please let me know.

We don't handle any licensing issues here on the forums. Please email support@unbrokensoftware.com with your license and request.

Commented on your BitBucket ticket already. Basically your system is running out of resources. Typically it is related to your virtual memory or paging file.

I am seeing a lot of reports from users about the Uplay import wizard not being able to correctly see a users game library. Below are the steps needed to make sure this import process works. 1. Install Uplay Game Launcher - We use local files to get your library information. In order to do that Uplay Game Launcher must be installed. 2. Ensure Uplay Game Launcher is in Add/Remove program list - Open up Add/Remove Programs inside of Windows. If Uplay didn't register itself properly there LaunchBox cannot find the installation and won't be able to find your configuration files. Typically a reinstall will correct this issue. 3. Log into Uplay Game Launcher - You have to have logged into Uplay Game Launcher at LEAST once before running the Uplay Import Wizard inside of LaunchBox. This log in creates the Uplay configuration files we need to determine what games are in your library.

GOG doesn't work like the other store fronts in regards to the install flag. Because GOG is DRM free and can be ran anywhere currently the only way to update install states currently is by running the import again. The only automation we do for install state on GOG is if the file path you have provided (if you did provide one) no longer exists on your computer it sets installed to false. I've added this to my list to see if we can find a way to streamline GOG a bit and make it work more like some of the other store fronts because I can see how this would get confusing and tiresome.

Turn on debug logging and try one more time then PM me the log. See what I can do to help ya.

Also if you turn on debug logging and run the Uplay import logs should say if/when it can't find something. Would be worth reading those as well.

Have you ever installed any of the games? I can tell you what Registry paths we look for/at if you feel comfortable perusing those as well. I would close Uplay and reopen, and then do the same for LaunchBox, just in case the close action is when they update the reg keys.

Have to install and launch Uplay and log into it. We read the registry values Uplay generates to determine what games you have available. There is no SSO screen like Epic or Origin have. Another thing to note is that we do not display games that simply point to a Steam launch path. If all your Uplay games are games from your Steam library the import wouldn't find any.

I would imagine that we wouldn't build badges for those launchers unless we build imports for those launchers. It's possible for some one to make a badge plugin that would do it until then though.
