Very exciting!

A new version? BEST. WEEK. EVER.

This plugin is what convinced me to buy Launchbox.

Of course. It just struck me as weird. It makes total sense.

Ok so this is interesting. Origin creates shortcuts to the exe like any sane person would do, but Launchbox imports them with a url style handler.

That makes perfect sense honestly. I wonder if we should compile a list of easy work arounds. For instance Origin you just have to manually point LB at the EXE and it seems to work.

Problem solved. It was the theme I was using.

I enabled badges and selected a few but they aren't showing up. Am I missing something?

That'd work. Thanks, I'll look into it.

I just imported every game I have access to from everywhere and that means a LOT of games that aren't installed. I checked the settings and looked through the plugins sections but I couldn't find anyway to 'dim' titles that aren't 'installed' Is it possible to do? I'd like to easily see what's installed and not installed while scrolling if possible. Is this doable?

I probably modded Morrowind for 500 hours and played it for like 20.

Origin links not working Boss

So just to close the loop on my own admittedly stupid issue just in case somebody else has the same problem: These errors happen if you don't have the right cores set up in RetroArch in LaunchBox. Which wasn't a thing I knew you had to do.

Yeah. So after further testing it's only doing this with Retroarch. AND I got a different error in the log today. EDIT: On further further testing Retroarch seems to be the problem, not your plugin.

Hey @Lahma, I an't seem to launch any emulators anymore. Everything looks like it should work and they work when I turn steamlauncher off. Here's my log.

The HARD WAY it is than!

Couldn't really figure out where this should go but is there or would it be relatively simple to add support for scraping IndieDB for games? I have a ton of old IndieDb stuff.
