Hi Faeran, Using the latest beta I chose to update and replace all media for all systems and left everything checked including everything with emumovies. It updated the metadata then started the downloads like normal. When the process finished it gave me the message saying xxxx amount of files were downloaded. I opened Bigbox and force updated the game wheels. When I opened the Arcade wheel I could see right away a bunch of games were missing on the wheel. I opened Sega Genesis and there were only 2 games on the wheel. I checked the images / clear logos folder and could again tell I was missing a bunch. I tried to update all systems again but this time i just had the clear logos checked and it updated the metadata again and said it would start the downloads but nothing ever happened. I tried this 3-4 times then rolled back to 13.24 and am in the process of downloading all media and with everything checked to make sure I'm not missing anything but am not replacing anything this time.

Not sure if this is a beta bug but running the beta I tried to download and replace all existing media and it would update the metadata but missed a bunch of downloads. I was missing a ton of clear logos. Kept trying to redownload after that but it wouldn’t download anything. Rolled back to 13.24 and downloads are working correctly.

Thank you for the update. If there is anything more I can do on my end to assist please let me know.

Just curious if the Launchbox team is aware of the constant crashing and if the logs provided are helping? I have attached another log after a crash using Refired theme and WMP. I have tried both WMP and FFMEG and both crash. I rolled back to 13.24 and same thing. It's pretty frustrating honestly and I'm just hoping it's being worked on. Thanks Debug 2025-11-26 05-39-56 PM.log

I think it’s a known issue. Try using Windows media player in the video settings instead of FFMEG

I think there is Unified and Unified refried. I’m on the beta also and get constant crashes with FFMEG but WMP runs no problem

Have you tried using windows media player instead of FFMeg? I get crashes using unified theme but nothing when I use WMP.

Not sure it would matter but you have it installed in your Yuzu folder? Your path says Emulators\Yuzu\Citron\citron.exe Maybe put it in its own folder? Also I didnt choose it as a default emulator but not sure if that's right. Again this was a basic install I had to do with nothing special needed. Are your paths to your games correct?

I literally just set this up and works great. I just don't like how it minimizes before closing. Here are the settings I used if it helps. Really nothing changed from the default.

Ok little more testing. I have not been able to get Bigbox to crash using WMP. Most of the time FFMeg will crash. I’m using Unified theme so maybe this theme works better with WMP or maybe it’s a beta issue not sure.

Oh man that will help a lot!! Thank you!! I found a theme I have but it’s from an old Huperapin set up so there’s no mp4 video. I haven’t been able to even see it either because the game must not be in my Hyperspin database.

Just wondering if anyone has a theme for the Ms Pac-Man Speed Up Hack. I'm currently using the regular Ms Pac-Man for both.

Disregard. Switched back to FFMeg and ran for 3 hours also. I never used to get crashes and haven’t had time to test thoroughly. I know one of the previous updates like 4-5 ago there was constant crashing but they fixed it and I had no crashing. Now I get occasional crashes. Hopefully the team can look into this and I can get more time to test.

Just wanted to update this. I switched back to WMP and no crashes for 3 hours so far.

Just had another crash. Using Unified Refired theme. Log attached Debug 2025-11-02 04-39-46 PM.log

I posted a debug log in the beta section because mine was doing the same thing. Never used to until the update before this one. Hopefully it’s fixed soon.

I noticed occasional crashing on the last beta and it just happened on this beta as well. Log file attached Debug 2025-10-26 11-00-31 AM.log

Beta seems to have fixed the issue using ffme

I just updated to the lates version and wmp and ffme both take me right back to the windows screen with no errors. Logs attached Debug 2025-08-31 01-56-19 PM.log Debug 2025-08-31 01-56-59 PM.log Debug 2025-08-31 01-57-53 PM.log

The beta version seems to have fixed the issue from what I can tell. I only ran it 3 1/2 hours but it didn’t freeze. It used to freeze after about an hour and a half.

So after 3 1/2 hours no freezing!!! Definitely seems better!!

Ok I’ve never downloaded a beta before but since I’m one the ones who machine keeps freezing after an hour or 2 I will test this out. Just downloaded it and Bigbox is running. I will update in a couple hours. Using refied theme.

I am not running the beta yet but did update the codecs mentioned in this thread to see if that would help but still freezing after a couple hours.

While Bigbox freezes a lot quicker using VLC it will still freeze after a while using WMP. My system never used to freeze. Also want to note I randomly get an error now about being out of memory when I am able to exit clean.

Hope they figure this out soon. I’ve tried both VLC and WMP but both freeze after a while. Never used to freeze at all. I also get random memory error when exiting. Like couldn’t save out of memory when exiting Bigbox
