Code changes were just pushed to the server and the temporary fix removed. Not sure we got ALL the cause for errors, but should have at least nipped some of the more pressing bugs in this code change. I'll continue to monitor from my side, but let us know if the issues start to creep back in on your side of things.

This error indicates you have bad data in your local Games Database definition file (\\LaunchBox\Metadata\Metadata.xml). To correct please open LaunchBox and go to Tools > Download > Force Download Games Database Metadata (last option in that menu). Doing so should correct this error.

I have updated one of the processes that fetches the moderation item for you to skip these obviously bad change sets in an effort to keep the DB running smoothly while I track down the change. It MAY result in the page taking a slight bit longer to fetch a change to moderate but should stop the error from occurring at all. This will get reverted once the bug is found and the permanent correction is pushed to the server. Thanks all for the help tracking down this issue, and the patience in it's resolution. Both are much appreciated.

Thanks for confirming. Feel free to post up in here if that changes for you.

Thanks I looked in the DB again and found a few more bad change sets that were clogging up the system. We're looking into how these keep getting the in the DB. I'll do my best to update the thread when any new code gets deployed. I'll do my best to keep monitoring the DB until then but feel free to let us know if you keep seeing the issue. Will help us determine if we're looking into the same issue you're all getting tripped up by.

Thanks, had a few bad change records that were failing to apply. I cleaned them up which hopefully removes this. Let us know if you keep seeing it.

What you're asking for has been in the app for as long as I've been around (at least 6 years). In the Edit Playlist window for your playlist on the first tab set the sort to "manual" and then in the games tab order the games the way you want.

Inside the marquee views is an "IsActive" binding you can use for this purpose. When true Big Box has focus, when false it doesn't (typically because you're playing a game)

Close LB, navigate to \\Launchbox\Data\Settings.xml and open the file in a text editor. Look for the line that says "ControlsBarHeight" and set that to something like 56. Save the file and close it then reopen LB. You can hide that control entirely in the view menu or by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+B as well.

Known issue with Intel integrated graphics cards. You need to go into the Intel software and turn anti-aliasing for Big Box either on or off (auto is the default). For some reason their auto logic makes some poor choices and causes issues like what you see. Having a service called "nahimic" running will sometimes do similar things but Big Box should check and alert if you if it finds that already. If you didn't see that message my guess that it's the intel gpu issue.

You have a version of Dolphin installed that is old and doesn't have the same help syntax to get the version number. To stop this from happening go to the record in your Manage Emulator window (the one that lists all your emulators shown in this video) and go to your old dolphin client record (tri-force is also Dolphin if using that) and then right click that row and select the "Don't Check for Updates" that appears on right click. It will disable the process that is running and attempting to find the emulator version causing that Dolphin popup.

Reports like this are almost always because an auto-hide feature is enabled. In the upper right click View and then there should be a Show/Hide section. Make sure none of those "Hide Games Missing..." filters are enabled. If need be can also in that menu set it to show games marked hidden.

They are the numeral value of this enum: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.input.key?view=windowsdesktop-8.0

In the future, it'd be kind of you to inform people what you did to get it working so that others who find themselves in a similar situation can get it working as well. That being said you should be able to just add to two bat files as additional applications under the game in question. In the Edit Additional Application window there is a "Run Before..." and a "Run After..." checkbox that runs that file immediately before the game is started, and immediately after the process we start is closed.

We've uncovered one cause for the issue internally and are running tests on the changes. Hopefully we can get another beta pushed out with it soon so you all can verify whether the change corrects the issue for you or not.

In file explorer go to the root folder and search for "*.exe" (without quotes) and then drag the results to LB to import them all in one go

Yeah, you can try either making it always/never visible to see if it corrects.

The newest beta release has additional logging to help us figure out what is going on. If experiencing this issue please update to that version, turn on debug logging, and try to import and get the error. Once you do close LB and send us the most recent log.

Until we add the ability to white/black list extensions for auto-scanning per platform this is unlikely to change. Typically text files like that are supporting files and NOT the ROM. TeknoParrot is an exception to the rule and we don't want to break setups for virtually every other emulator.

What configuration are you using? Could you post a screenshot?

Ah yeah, I did name the wrong file. Glad you got it sorted out though

Should be able to add a left margin on the grid on line 169 of GameDetailsView.xaml to push the search bar to the right some. Something like Margin="48,0,0,0" would move it to the right 48 pixels.

Cool so after you push OK? Do you see the progress bar at the top starting the import process at all or no?

Where in the import process are you all running into this issue? At some point in the import wizard, or after the game list has appeared and you push OK to start the import?
