Just want to say I’m impressed with the huge improvement in response time on the wheel. Scrolling through games before was laggy and scrolling through letters to get to a game was terrible. I use to scroll to a letter but the games would show for a different letter like it never caught up to the actual letter I landed on. The wheel seems so much smoother! Thanks to whoever is making these big improvements! Also still no crashes!!!!

@faeran If it will help with this beta I can try FFMeg but I had given up on that lol. I was even crashing with WMP but not any longer. This is the best update for performance in a while. My scrolling through the letter is smoother and quicker and led blinky starts up quicker during the start up video. I appreciate your work on this!!

Day 2 no crashes!!! Can’t tell you how happy I am lol. It was so frustrating but everything seems to be back to normal. Thanks to the Launchbox team!!!!!

I was having the same issue like many users even using WMP. The new beta version seems to have fixed this after a full day of testing.

After more testing and someone who posted multiple times about Bigbox crashing I can say I am happy that I have not had one crash with this beta using WMP. I’ve restarted the system multiple times and not one crash. Whatever was causing it you’re on the right track. I haven’t tried FFmeg though so can’t comment on that. Thank you!!!

It’s still early but so far I haven’t had any crashes using WMP. Already a big improvement. I also noticed LED Blinky starts up quicker when my system starts. There used to be a few second delay. Also scrolling through letters seems smoother and faster. So far so good!! 🤞

Also still getting random crashing back to desktop.

Running the new beta and I noticed when I first start up Bigbox the wheel which is normally curved like hyperspin starts straight up and down then slowly go to a curve? Should mention I’m using Unified theme. Also I use to scroll to a letter and click on it but it would load a different letter like it didn’t catch up to where I was. This seems to be corrected now.

I haven’t had launchbox crash either but it’s don’t think I’ve ever left it running for a long period of time like I do Bigbox. Very sporadic in Bigbox. Sometimes it won’t crash and others it keeps crashing after a half hour. I feel like if I restart my pc then just open Bigbox it crashes less but maybe it’s just a coincidence.

Does this log help at all figuring out the crashes?

To be safe for the Holiday party tonight I will be rolling back to 13.19. Hopefully this will resolve the crashes. I would be more than happy to provide any type of log needed to hopefully understand what’s causing these multiple crashes on 13.24. Just let me know what I can provide.

One thing I’ve noticed on my machine is that if it crashes it’s typically within the first half hour to an hour. If it makes it passed that point it will run for hours with no problem. Nvidia 3070, intel 127k, 32 gigs of ram

Hyperspin 2.0 is in beta also which I am excited to try when it’s out of beta. I will have to try NeoStation as well. I thought Launchbox and Bigbox would be the last thing I would need for my cab but as you stated it’s getting slower and crashes too much.

You’re not alone

I’m not experiencing the black videos but get a lot of crashing to desktop which seems to be affecting a lot of users. I do have an Nvidia card so you think this could help my problem with crashes? Weird that it normally crashes within the hour but if it doesn’t crash within the hour it doesn’t crash at all.
