I had my launchbox for about the same time and I agree that my overall experience was good. I don't hate it or anything, but I did experience intermittent issues which are well documented all over the community regarding the memory issues. Primarily when returning from sleep and more recently in BigBox more frequently with the latest updates. As mentioned, I moved onto Playnite and found the frontend experience very similar(both in desktop and full screen modes) except that the issues went away when using Playnite. Additionally, another positive was that the Playnite program loads in about 4-5 seconds every time I launch it despite my library is massive (includes artwork and trailers). Both LaunchBox and BigBox took a lot longer to load up. I probably would have stayed on Launchbox if it wasn't for the memory issues because I didn't particularly enjoy setting everything up from ground zero. That said, I am glad I did because I am starting to feel that Playnite is a better UI overall.

I gave up and moved onto playnite. The UI is more impressive in my opinion also and customizing everything to be like big box is possible also in my limited use with it. Shame, because I paid for Launchbox and it served me well for a while but I always had random memory issues, just not as frequently since the last update. I tried a fresh install and rolling back but nothing helped..

Checked resource memory and confirm a memory leak somewhere from big box. Baseline memory at launch: ~1.15GB commit After 13 minutes with game running: ~1.52GB commit Rate: ~27MB/minute leak Crashes at ~60 minutes or so, consistent with memory exhaustion Is this related to BigBox's video/image caching pipeline? Attract mode is off and I use the one of the standard themes.

Update, new exception code causing the crash today. Is this a bug with big box? New exception code: 0xc0000409 Faulting module: unknown Confirmed not game specific Happens after ~1 hour with BigBox hidden behind any fullscreen game Two different exception codes across crashes suggesting memory corruption building up over time

Faulting module: ntdll.dll Exception code: 0xc0000374 Happens after some duration (Not sure how long, est 1 hour the last time it happened) with BigBox hidden behind a fullscreen game Attract mode is off Logs folder is empty Never changed focus, I dont have xbox game bar or nvidia overlays running. The game didn't crash, just big box and I have no idea why. It has happened a few times too many for me to question why at this point. Looking for help understanding the root cause of this error from the community. Thank you!

Still an issue on a brand new build. If Launchbox is left open and system goes to sleep upon waking up and trying to sue launchbox, the error appears that system is out of memory. only 25% my RAM is in use at that time so its confusing. Also, I tried combinations with/without hybrid sleep and also fast start but none of those standard windows options addresses this. Heading over to the thread you shared now.

Thanks for this write up! I never could get this work before I got your post. This worked well for me for the few windows-based titles that I had issues with!! This is the best solution without using keyboard bindings etc. Thanks again!

JayJay, I only have one PC game that causes this issue for me in my collection. I have tried focus scripts you prepared and unable to get focus without a mouse click upon game closure. I even tried a different approach by using windows task scheduler to run your script when that program terminates. When running the script manually, it works fine. Same with with windows task manually. I can't seem to figure out why the trigger I setup isn't working. That said, it would be nice if any of the scripts you wrote would just launch at the close of this game alone. I tried using the latest download you have here which have options to right click and add paths etc.. That felt more promising but I am still facing this issue in BigBox upon closing this one game every time. Not to revive such an old thread, but if you have any guidance I would appreciate it.

Hello, Sorry to revive a 1.5 year old thread I had a similar issue but haven't been able to resolve it on my own using the suggestions above. For me Big Box and RetroArch have identified the monitor index of my displays incorrectly whenever I attach monitors with different resolutions and the problems get worse from there. Nothing I changed worked while my 1080p monitor was connected along with the three other 4k monitors I have. Ultimately what solved the black screen, only audio problem along with BB window not being in full screen for me was found in the windows registry.. I've shared a link below to help others incase they stumble on this thread as this was closest to what problem I was having and lead me to the solution. Though the solution mentions Nvidia shield below, I don't own it and it worked for me for all my streaming devices as they all had the same problem. (iPhone, iPad, TV's, fire tv cube, fire tv stick, apple TV) Fix: NVidia Shield (Moonlight) selecting the wrong Monitor – Lighthouse (thecloudiest.com)
