Must have been a fluke the two times it worked because now when I exit with alt f4 Bigbox freezes and same with the Xbox controller when I try closing the active window.
Sorry yes if I use alt and f4 on my keyboard to close the game Launchbox regains focus and there is no problem. I can use select start on my controller to exit emulators but not for my pc games because I figured them the games wouldn’t be saved that way.
I just did that in launchbox and same thing. I noticed everything was frozen in Launchbox but I could still control my mouse cursor with my xbox controller but it was so laggy and slow. I had to control alt delete to get out of launchbox. I couldn't just hit hit X.
If I close the game with alt f4 launchbox doesnt freeze?
I am running the latest beta and just had the normal crash I've and others have been getting. Here are the files you requested. I will try using WMP also.

Thanks Joe. I will try through Launchbox but yes this is a stand alone exe happening in Bigbox when I exit through the games menu.
Forgot to mention when this game closes I don't see the new shut down screen in the latest beta saying something like exiting game I believe. It just goes to the wheel then freezes.
Sorry should’ve mentioned I’m running the newest beta. I guess I thought it was more of a problem with this games exit than the beat since all my other pc games exit fine.
Just like the title says. None of my other PC games causes Bigbox to freeze when exiting just this one. I go back to Bigbox when I exit through the game back to desktop but Bigbox is frozen. I tried clicking my mouse to regain focus but nothing works? Anyone else run into this or know a solution?
Here are the files you requested. I did the same thing in beta 13.27 but they showed 0 downloads so not sure anyone even looked at them.

After some testing i can confirm videos are back to playing and the scrolling in Bigbox is smooth. The random crash still happens which confuses me. Using VLC I had my machine running Bigbox for 8-9 hours yesterday no problem. Today it ran for about 30 minutes and it crashed back to desktop running Bigbox. No changes were made in between both instances so I’m really confused what’s causing the crashes.
Just updated to the latest version and videos are playing again. I will run my machine for a while and check on the random crashes in Bigbox also. Thanks for the fix!
** is there a way to turn off the text on the loading and exit screen. This must be new. “Waiting for game to load”…..
Still same as previous beta for videos not showing. Start up video works fine but nothing else. Using intel i7-12700k, 32 gb of ram, and GeForce 3080.

I’m was a Hyperspin user but that was getting ridiculous so I switched to launchbox/Bigbox and it was great. Now with the random crashing I’m keeping a close eye on the Hyperspin 2 beta. Looks promising.
Here are the FFMeg logs. Same response as other videos also noticed on launchbox the box art showing is bigger or something I used to have a 5-6 box art images showing per row now only 3 per row show so viewing games is more difficult

Here is a video using WMP. I must not have been recording for the debug logs above but same result. Start up plays fine just nothing else.
