Also, the "Yes, download and replace all existing metadata and media" option in LaunchBox Tools -> Download -> "Update Metadata and Media..." triggers a ransomware warning and a complete app shutdown by Windows security unless exceptions are made.

Issue: Windows 11 Pro firewall & Windows 11 Pro "Smart App Control" blocks new files it does not recognize, breaking LaunchBox, especially its startup process. Primary Affected Files: LaunchBox\BigBox.exe LaunchBox\LaunchBox.exe LaunchBox\Core\BigBox.exe LaunchBox\Core\LaunchBox.exe Current Solution: Manually make firewall exceptions and whitelist

I'm not quite sure if this is a LaunchBox problem or a LaunchBox Games DB problem, so I'll just re-post this here. As always, thank you tons for your relentless hard work and dedication! 🫶🏽🫡👌🏽👍🏽

A list of games LaunchBox (for Windows) is still not correctly pulling the Steam portrait posters (front covers) for: As of 05-16-2026: Cars ( or Disney•Pixar Cars) Cars 2 (or Disney•Pixar Cars 2: The Video Game) Cars Toon: Mater's Tall Tales (or Disney•Pixar Cars Toon: Mater's Tall Tales) Chicken Little (or Disney's Chicken Little) Chicken Little: Ace in Action (or Disney's Chicken Little: Ace in Action) Tangled (or Disney Tangled) Disney•Pixar Brave: The Video Game etc...

@faeran Thank you for your hard work! 🫶🏽🫡

I guess the new one should be called: Final Fantasy VII (Steam Re-Release), and the first one should just be: Final Fantasy VII See: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3837340/view/498346952550779352?l=english

Info: Final Fantasy VII (Steam Game ID: 39140) on Steam is different from Final Fantasy VII (2013 Re-Release) (Steam Game ID: 3837340). Fix: Disney•Pixar Cars Mater-National Championship (Steam Game ID: 332260) should be linked to THIS LaunchBox DB Game.

Error: Final Fantasy VII (2013) on Steam (Steam Game ID: 3837340) is mislabeled as Final Fantasy Re-Imagined in the LaunchBox DB. Also... Error: Disney•Pixar Cars Mater-National Championship (Steam Game ID: 332260) is mislabeled as Disney•Pixar Cars in the LaunchBox DB. Please try to repair these errors before the next major LaunchBox 13.27 release!

The primary reason I'm looking forward to LaunchBox 13.27. Plz 🙏🏽 get it right! Steam Trailer Downloads! https://www.launchbox-app.com/about/changelog

I first noticed this error while trying to import "Sonic Rumble". I acquired that game on its launch date. So, this has been present in some form at least since November 5, 2025. #FWIW

In retrospect, your original fix is good enough. I just had to purge the cache (both images and videos) of all three titles, delete them, than force a LaunchBox Games DB update, then close LaunchBox, and import them again from Steam. All is well now! 😃 Thanks Again! Warm Regards, James Anderson

* Note: All of the following are for Windows unless stated otherwise. * ------------------------------------------------- Shadow of the Tomb Raider (a.k.a.: Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition) Current LaunchBox Game DB URL: https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/105793-shadow-of-the-tomb-raider Correct Steam URL: https://store.steampowered.com/app/750920/Shadow_of_the_Tomb_Raider_Definitive_Edition/ Correct Steam ID: 750920 Currently Correct in LaunchBox Game DB: No, the steam link is missing entirely in the LaunchBox Game DB page for this title. ------------------------------------------------- Tomb Raider I (1996) Current LaunchBox Game DB URL: https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/88164-tomb-raider-1996 Correct Steam URL: https://store.steampowered.com/app/224960/Tomb_Raider_I_1996/ Correct Steam ID: 224960 Currently Correct in LaunchBox Game DB: Yes, but a suggestion is to update the game's name to include the "I" (i.e., "Tomb Raider I (1996)") to better differentiate it from the later released title. ------------------------------------------------- Tomb Raider (2013) Current LaunchBox Game DB URL: https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/2603-tomb-raider-2013 Correct Steam URL: https://store.steampowered.com/app/203160/Tomb_Raider/ Correct Steam ID: 203160 Currently Correct in LaunchBox Game DB: Yes Thanks, @C-Beats Warm Regards, James Anderson

Hold on before this thread is closed...I found all 3 titles still a little wonky. Maybe I should wait 'til Monday morning, but I'm about to post more details. Don't close this thread yet! Stay tuned!

@C-Beats Cool beans! Thank you!

@C-Beats

Tomb Raider (2013) Steam Game ID should be: '203160' (as in: https://store.steampowered.com/app/203160/Tomb_Raider/ ) (But it is currently erroneously pointing to: https://store.steampowered.com/app/750920/Shadow_of_the_Tomb_Raider_Definitive_Edition/ ) Tomb Raider (1996) (a.k.a. "Tomb Raider I (1996)" or simply "Tomb Raider I" ) Steam Game ID should be: '224960' (as in: https://store.steampowered.com/app/224960/Tomb_Raider_I_1996/ ) Currently, these two Steam games are populating as duplicates. As with the previously found mix-ups, I'm going to just remove these titles from my Launch Box Windows library until the admin verifies them as fixed. You should be able to verify these mix-ups by clicking on the "Get it on Steam" button on the Launch Box DB website. Warm Regards, James Anderson

Awesome, C-Beats! Thanks!

Crysis: Warhead Steam Store URL: https://store.steampowered.com/app/17330/Crysis_Warhead/ Crysis Steam Store URL: https://store.steampowered.com/app/17300/Crysis/

Crysis: Warhead should be Steam Game ID: 17330 Crysis should be Steam Game ID: 17300

Hello! For Steam on Windows, there are 2 sets of REALLY BAD mix-ups I spotted: "Monster Energy Supercross" should launch from: steam://rungameid/711750 (not steam://rungameid/882020) "Monster Energy Supercross 2: The Official Videogame" should launch from: steam://rungameid/882020 (not: steam://rungameid/711750) ALSO: "Crysis" and "Crysis: Warhead" have their Steam IDs messed up (crisscrossed), too! I'm going to just remove these titles from my Launch Box Windows library until the admin verifies them as fixed. You should be able to verify these mix-ups by clicking on the "Get it on Steam" button on the Launch Box DB website. Warm Regards, James Anderson

*New* Fixed LaunchBox icon from updated location. LaunchBox.ico

I found the location of the bug. The affected app is here: [ LaunchBox Directory ]/Core/LaunchBox.exe Reproduction - In Windows 11: Right-click the file; Select "Show more options"; Select "Properties" Under the "General" tab, the Icon with the flaw is visible on the left of the file name.

Here's the fixed icon file. LaunchBox.ico

Haha, you're right! I found it on the 48x48 - 32 icon! Well, talk about "unbroken software"! lol! j.k., Devs are humans. Humans make mistakes. Oh well. 🤷🏾‍♂️
