Can you do the following: 1. Find a game that you get this error with, then right click that game in LaunchBox and select "Edit" to bring up the Edit Game window. Then check the application path of that game and make sure the file exists in that location 2. Make sure you don't have an emulator set for some reason on that game 3. Make sure if using the default DOSBox that you a \\LaunchBox\ThirdParty\DOSBox\ folder and that there are files in it.

Yeah. Make sure you point it to the right location. Don't want it creating a LaunchBox folder IN your LaunchBox folder (if that makes sense, sorry coffee hasn't fully took hold just yet)

Awesome glad to hear.

Could you rerun the installer and let it complete all the way and let me know if you still have the issue? You can point it to the same directory and it will overwrite what it needs to (doesn't touch your data at all).

Not seen anyone with that issue. Can you right click to get a context menu in the browser, if so is there a Reload/Refresh option (if so push it and see if that message still appears)? May be related to some security option on your Gmail account but I don't have enough information at this point to really tell you what setting would cause that or where to find it.

Thanks for confirming it has been corrected on your end. @lupascu69 does the Origin import work for you now in 11.9?

Could you private message me here on the forums and send me your Platforms.xml file (located in \\LaunchBox\Data\)

Thanks for the report Cid. Have code in place to correct this for next release.

Why not just have two installs? One for PC, one for consoles.

Yeah, we've made changes for beta 3 that should correct this.

Thanks for that @ToniBC. I do believe I have found the cause for that behavior and it should be resolved in the next beta release. Thanks for reporting it.

@ToniBC on "Custom Options" pages what options are you selecting?

Right. I'm just stating that the improvements were only from 11.9-beta1 and that anything already causing a slowdown in 11.8 was not affected. So in your case you should still be similar speeds to were in 11.8 but faster than you were in 11.9-beta1 because we didn't add logic that would increase the load speed of your playlists (for example)

That change was to logic introduced in Beta 1 release, if you were experiencing slow downs in 11.8 this change wouldn't affect that.

The imports were overhauled and moved from WinForm to WPF, because of that they have not yet been re-localized. This will be corrected before we release the final version.

@Xpendable What operating system and version are you running?

How were you doing the import that you didn't see the option?

I would check your image priority settings and make sure the image type you want to display is checked for the image group you are displaying in LaunchBox. The options I am referring to are in the "Media" group of the options menu listed as "{Image Group} Priorities" where {Image Group} is the name of the image group in question.

Sorry to hear you are having issues with your license @RICKY WISE. I currently do not handle licensing at all. We keep access to that information very limited for security reasons. As Dos stated, emailing the support email is the best way to get this resolved. The email is monitored pretty closely/regularly so you should hear back within a day or two.

I would look in your service tab of the Task Manager. Make sure Nahimic isn't running. Realtek is pretty notorious for running with that service up. It tends to cause issues with performance and potential tearing in the actual render of everything.

What video playback engine are you using? VLC is recommended. Though that would only really affect video playback and have no real affect on the menu navigation responsiveness. When's the last time you've updated your video drivers? Also if you anything running/using a service called "Nahimic" (used by a lot of audio driver tools) that is known to cause some of the issues you are seeing as well.

Yes that is the button I was referring to. No there is not a way to change it en masse, you have to edit each playlist individually.

Apologies you feel this way. Typically BitBucket is better place to report errors as it easier to see them then on the forums. First step to resolve this would be to go ahead and run the installer again, just to rule out something isn't corrupt in your install. Second is to make sure you don't have any folder set to read only. Right now that error report reads like an IO issue reading/writing to a location. Also if you have plugins, I would remove them just to rule it out as a possibility.

The most common reasons for visible slow downs are either there is image caching occurring or video drivers aren't updated properly. In large libraries auto-generated playlists tend to cause a pretty large increase in start up times as well. If the auto-gen playlist is pretty much "complete" you can speed up the startup by unchecking the auto generate check box and reverting it to a manual list.

Since 10.8, release early January of 2020
