Any game imported via the Steam, GOG, or Epic Games wizard will auto-update your install state for you. Epic Games Launcher DOES save your credentials but the token given isn't a lifetime token, if not refreshed within a certain time window it expires and requires your login again. I believe that window is 24 hours.

No need to manually import. Pull down the beta build, it has an Epic Games import wizard to do it all for you. To answer the question though those fields mean the following: Unique Name: This is the name that the playlist is saved as in the back end. It needs to be unique since two files can't have the same name. (ie, "bestofN64") Nested Name: This is the name the playlist appears as in LaunchBox and Big Box (ie "The Best EVER!") Sort Title: This is the name used for sorting the playlists by name in LaunchBox and Big Box (ie "000Best", because of COURSE you want the BEST at the TOP)

Both things are done by hitting a web service that can take a while (at least in computer time) to grab information for. It is why neither feature shows in the detail screen on initial load and only appears once information is gathered. That combined with the fact that both of these items change in real time (making value caches pretty unstable) makes it hard to get a flag set properly for either that would allow those playlists.

Latest official release or the latest beta release? Beta has quite a few changes regarding media downloads and would be curious to know if others are experiencing the same issues in that build.

Anyway you can send a log of a crash on the new install? Also, when is the last time integrity checks were ran on your hard drives?

No not at the same time, but the only thing LB uses your account name and API key is the import, everything else is a public API. Half-Life 2 is play for free weekend right now, wondering if that has something to do with those showing up.

Can you do a fresh install of LaunchBox in a different directory and tell me if you experience the same issue on that install?

Could you run command prompt as administrator and type the following command "sfc /scannow" (without quotations) and see if it finds any missing/corrupt files? Reason I ask is because in that log LaunchBox is failing to hit/read a lot of Windows built in libraries.

To my knowledge family sharing simply lets you play it from the other account while they are not online, you do not own them on that account and so it doesn't show in your library when the API is called. You would have two options from what I can tell. Manually add the games and put the correct application path in (would then be able to pull metadata and media for the title as normal (even from Steam) OR Put the other account information in the import tool and run it. From that point on, you wouldn't need to log into the other account ever again because LaunchBox doesn't send any account information to Steam, just simply states "Hey run this game for me!" and tosses Steam the app number.

Could I get the following bits of information from you? What operating system are you running? What location is LaunchBox installed to? Are you trying to run as administrator?

If already imported: Select all games you want to change Right click and select edit Select Platform field in the mass edit wizard Enter name of the Platform you want them moved to Moving forward (is in the current beta build), the Steam Import Wizard will ask you what platform you want to import into.

Would need to create two "Additional Applications" in your Pinball FX3 game. First one would be easy. Just point it to the application you need to start and check the "Automatically run before Main Application". Then would need to add a second app that shuts down the antimicro process and check the "Automatically run after Main Application". That being said running it though Steam MAY make that more difficult because Launchbox tends to see the initial pop up that Steam launches as the game process instead of the game itself so the "After Main App" app would likely fire prematurely.

You had the right right idea, just type at symbol and the username, pick it from the list that comes up. No, Big Box does not play/draw the emulator in it's screen. It opens the emulator. Most people use Retroarch because it easier to keep up to date and does 10ft interface well. Also defaults to most of the settings you would want anyway. If not using retroarch I'd pick an emulator that can either be told to launch fullscreen (exclusive if you can) via the command line, or in the settings.

Try the Old Default theme, do you still see it there? You may be having issues with the Dynamic Box Sizing the new theme uses.

What are you calling lag? What specific issues are you seeing and when do you see them? I have a collection of around 28k games and the only time I notice any significant slow downs is when I am rebuilding the cache.

No not at the moment. I think Jason has on his list to change some of that code but unsure where it is in priority. If it bugs you that much there a tons of free online tools that generate online text images. Use of them to create one and then add it to the game as a clear logo

The theme is not driving that font. That is a fallback clear logo image Big Box makes for games asking for a clear logo image in a game that does not have one and cannot be changed via a theme.

We use the GOG API to get all the images, would assume they use a redirect on their end that we don't have access to. I'll take a look at the API calls and see what we can do to help with it.

Not at this time. The only time an OR statement is used is when you use the same filter type more than once, and even then it is only used within that field set.

Your RAM is kinda low simply because Big Box is a WPF application that loads quite a few resources into memory and so you could be hard pressed with 4GB. I have an Alienware Alpha I reformatted which has a i3-4130T in it and I have no issues running Big Box and games with it so would think the CPU is fine. As long as their isn't any known issues with that card/driver with WPF I would assume it would be fine. There are far more hardware-centric people who are far more knowledgeably than I am in that department but I don't see any red flags, but may be worth waiting a few hours to see if anyone else chimes in.

You already have it. It is in the same folder as LaunchBox. "BigBox.exe"

Sorry when you said it was in a cabinet I assumed you were using Big Box, don't know too many running LaunchBox in one.

Did you use the import tool to add them or manually type it in? Think you can PM me your Emulators.xml (located in \\Launchbox\Data\) and the xml for the platform you are having issues with. Will take a quick look and see if there anything obviously wrong in either causing the issue.

Where are your rom files located?

Sounds like you have tried a lot of things, none of which are related to the error message you are seeing. "Specified ROM path not found" means that LaunchBox cannot find the ROM file in the place you told it that it would be in. Typically caused by 2 issues, either file permissions doesn't allow LaunchBox to see the file in it's location OR the rom isn't where you told it to look.
