Very High GPU Usage With New Launchbox Update (13.7 and 13.8)
aett replied to Wonderboy's topic in Troubleshooting
Just chiming in to say that I'm experiencing the same issue with high GPU usage with the latest build of Launchbox. When the program is open and the window isn't minimized, my total GPU usage jumps to an average of 40%. In Task Manager, it says that about 25% of this is Launchbox and the other 15% is Desktop Window Manager. If I close Launchbox, or even just minimize it, total usage drops instantly to 0-1%. I have a 3080 ti, and have been using it for about 15 months. I've been using Launchbox for probably two+ years. Last week, I reformatted my primary SSD and reinstalled Windows from scratch. I only just now noticed the GPU usage, so I'm not sure if it started as soon as I reinstalled Windows, or with the latest Launchbox update, which came shortly after. If it did start with my new Windows installation and not the latest version of Launchbox, then I wonder if it has to do with me now using Windows 11 instead of 10. It's not a huge problem, because it doesn't affect gameplay (due to not being active on my screen), but I just wanted to mention that it's not just Wonderboy or their particular GPU. -
Unfortunately, when I open a game in Big Box, it will also show my edited "marquee" images first instead of the full-screen backgrounds. I appreciate the suggestion! -
Thanks for the quick response. You're right that it doesn't work for every image, but it gives me the option to choose between hair or torsos. If only there was an option to select "upper middle" or something. Edit: Would it be possible for me to edit something in GameDetailsView.xaml to change the source of the image? I'm thinking of using a category I don't normally use - Arcade Marquee - and using that folder to have my manually-edited images for the game details view. Then my Background folder can remain unedited, and still look nice in Big Box when I load games.

I love this theme! Do you know if there's any way to make the background images centered vertically? Only being able to see the top of each one means that a lot of background images show you blank space or the tops of heads. (I'd rather not manually edit every game's BG art, especially since I still use the full images for loading.)
