So every time I launch BigBox, it crashes a few seconds after the platform videos start to play with no error message. I had a look at event viewer and its saying the failing module is the VLC codec libavcodec_plugin.dll, I've tried replacing it with another. Tried replacing the VLC files, tried a fresh install of Launchbox, restarted PC etc, all the usual trial and errors. I've also switched to the windows video player in BigBox video options, and that works fine. But its still crashing every time I launch it with the recommended VLC player selected. Can anyone help? Here's the error in Event viewer;

EDIT: For anyone that gets the same issue, here's a fix......if you have an intel 14900KF, lower the performance core ratio from 57 to 55.
Currently this works for BigBox versions prior to 13.20. I Still get this issue with 13.20 regardless.
The event viewer log only states, BigBox stopped responding to windows.
So wont be updating until other more stable versions are released.
