Realize now I wasn't as clear as I should have been. Inside the <NoWelcomeVersion> tags should be what ever version you are installing. Could I get the following information from you: What version are you installing? Has Launchbox ever worked on this install? Do you have a screenshot of the error you are getting? And if so could you post it?

Skraper to my knowledge does not have any plugin for LaunchBox, they have the Skraper client and I believe they attempt to create a platform.xml based off what you scrape. If you are using the XML they build instead of letting LaunchBox do it, that may be causing some issues. Jason is asking for the files in your Data folder, those would have the information either of us needs to diagnose if that is the cause of your issue or not. Also unless you have unlocked several cores via Skraper and it's client it is going to take you far longer than 4 days as they limit daily bandwidth and running single core isn't very fast. Also would be wary as the Skraper client downloads a lot of bad images that will typically need cleaning out.

Launchbox DOES on first load of a version attempt to bring a Window up with a changelog that does hit an HTML address. Won't be able to confirm until tomorrow but if it IS that you could attempt to add the following line to your Settings.xml file (if not already present). <NoWelcomeVersion>10.12-beta-5</NoWelcomeVersion> Can go anywhere in between the <Setting> tags. If that corrects it let me know.

First, just so we are clear what version are you on? I seem you mention 10.1, is that ACTUALLY 10.1, or 10.10? Current live version is 10.11. Secondly, if you aren't adding any more games to the playlists you are referring to I would check and make sure they aren't auto-generated playlists. Auto-generated playlist take a considerable amount more of resources than manual ones, and cause extra calculations in many processes. If you know those playlists will not be changing much in the future I would make sure to untick that box.

Did you manually add the images to the folder? Typically if the game IS in your library but the file IS NOT in use it is because the file isn't named correctly so LaunchBox doesn't know to use it.

Yes. Those are files that 0 games in your library point to and should be safe to delete if you do not plan to re-add those games later.

On the first page of the options menu...

Not real sure what you are referring to, got a pic?

Need to go to where you saw what power mode you were on and click "Change Plan Settings" then click "Change Advanced Settings" and check that the setting shown is disabled. You also need to go to Device Manager and select the USB Controller you are plugged in then right click and hit "Properties" go to the power management tab and shut off the check box saying it can shut it off.

One other VERY important thing to note if running LaunchBox, Big Box, or any emulation off an external drive is to adjust your computers "Power Saving" options. By default Windows will shut off USB connections it feels are being too resource intensive which will cause several errors. If you go that route make sure to turn all that off or you are liable to see many issues.

Can also right click on a game and press edit and then drag and drop images to the Image Preview square in the bottom right of the window.

Sounds like you have the start up screen popping over your game. Could try shutting that feature off and see if it still happens.

Leaf symbols in Windows 10 are related to power saving features. The leaf represents something "Eco-Friendly". Basically your computer is shutting off access to your drive to save power. Need to go to your power settings and tell it to knock it off.

Correct. If using a custom theme the creator needs to push an update with the badge changes included.

Yeah I have Steam Posters set to top priority for Box Front images and just sort by that.

Hey @rickz1222 and welcome to LaunchBox! Could use a bit more information from ya to help you figure out what is going on. Could you answer the following for me? Does running the game through LaunchBox work or are you seeing the same problems there? What Platform is the game associated with inside of LaunchBox? While extension is your ROM file? Is it compressed? If compressed, what files are in the archive? What Retroarch core are you running for that platform? Does Retroarch have anything in the log file that may help (\\Retroarch\log\retroarch.log [or at least last I knew])?

You don't have the right url. Your's is missing the 's' at the end. Should be https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/changes

@Pixel @Belmont Could you two do me a favor? Go to Tools > Options > Debugging and turn on Debug Logs. Then try to import a Steam game, uncheck the "Check local games database" (top box) and then run the import. Verify that you do or do not see Steam metadata (Publisher, Developer, Notes, Release Date, Genre). If you do not please close Launchbox then go to your \\Launchbox\Logs\ folder and send me (in private message preferably) the most recent log file in that directory. Would also like if possible for you to try it with the "Check local games database" checked and also checked "Prioritize Steam metadata" and see what metadata you get and send the log file if you do not see the Steam information.

Would need to delete at least that game. Could check "Force duplicate" for it to show on the list again but then it would also create a new game entry

Installed state on import tool is initially found by looking at all applications that have an uninstaller registered to Windows and has the GOG metadata associated with it. If you install a game that doesn't do this, or simply move the install from one computer/location to another, it wouldn't currently detect it. Where you able to scan the directory the games are in on the E drive, and did it successfully find them?

Yeah, currently if the tool didn't auto find the game the "Folder" column is blank and it sets a blank app path as shows the game as Not Installed. If it finds it that column will tell you where it found it. Scan feature allows you to select a folder that all the games are installed in and the tool will manually look in that folder path for your GOG games (looks for the .info file GOG puts in the directory). Once the tool ran the folder column will update for all games found.

@neil9000 was the folder column blank on the import screen? If yes, did you try the "Scan directory..." button to find it/tell it where the game was located?

In the import tool did anything appear in the "Folder" column? I would guess that the process was unable to locate the executable for that game. Could you confirm the following for me? What is the name of a title having this issue (2-3 would be helpful if possible)? Did the folder column have any information in it during import? Are these games actually installed on your computer? Does GOG Galaxy see these games as being installed on your computer?
