All progress badges should display on both the games detail page and in certain views Can't guarantee how it make work for other themes that aren't the default, though let us know if you aren't seeing it and we'll see if we can identify why

Hi there, The new Game Progress Tracking feature replaces the Completed checkbox found in LaunchBox versions before 13.22. When upgrading to version 13.22 or later, all games previously marked as Completed will be automatically migrated to the new Game Progress system using the Done / Mastered status. This new status overrides any automatic progress rules. Additionally, the Unplayed badge is now fully integrated into the Game Progress system and no longer appears as a separate option in the Badge menu. The old completed tag will also still exist in the xml metadata files if you really need it. If for whatever your progress data has not migrated correctly, please see the post below with a plug you can use it grab the old tags from the metadata file. Let us know how you get on

RetroAchievements are not displayed after upgrading to 13.22
AstroBob replied to Floatzel's topic in Troubleshooting
Hi Folks, just to update you this has now been addressed in 13.23 beta-1. You can either update to the beta or it will be rolled out as part of the next official 13.23 release. Thanks for bearing with us there while we got this addressed. -
Hi there, Are you running Steam at the same time as Big Box. We've seen scenario's where Steam applies a Desktop mapping to controllers by default, which it's steams own way of trying to navigate interfaces with a controller. Any easy way to test this is close down steam, if Big Box returns to single inputs then you know that's your issue. Desktop controller profiles can be removed on Steam Let me know how you get on Cheers,

Hi Folks, This is a fantastic idea — it’s actually something we considered internally, but it didn’t quite make the cut for the first phase. That said, we’re totally open to something like this, and I personally think it’s a great idea to expand the types of rules we support. As you correctly mentioned, setting something to “paused” is a manual action, and taking it out of “paused” is also manual. We have a feature request that outlines this idea, which I’ve attached below. It would be great if you could add your support and share any additional use cases you think might be valuable. 🔗 https://feedback.launchbox.gg/p/rule-based-auto-pause-for-inactive-games Make sure to follow along there so we can keep you updated on any progress

RetroAchievements are not displayed after upgrading to 13.22
AstroBob replied to Floatzel's topic in Troubleshooting
Hi Folks, are you using the list view or image view within LaunchBox. There's a known issue right now in 13.22 where RetroAchievements are not showing in List Views within LaunchBox. If this is what you're seeing, check that to see if the same happens in Image View. We're working on a fix for this for the next version ,so we should have this fixed up soon. -
Good catch, that's been fixed now

Hi there, Thanks for providing the details! We’ve identified an issue with the Old Default theme and its compatibility with version 13.22. In short, it wasn’t properly updated to support the new progression markers, so it defaults to showing all games as completed — even though your actual data is correct. I’m attaching the issue report here. Please upvote it to follow along and get notified once it’s been fixed. In the meantime, the best workaround is to use a different theme or wait for the upcoming fix. Apologies for the issues there, regarding the changing view issue, can you confirm if that happens when using the current Default theme (not old default)?

Avast flags 13.22 as FileRepMalware - all previous versions are fine
AstroBob replied to PerryCS's topic in Troubleshooting
Hi there, Thanks for flagging this! Occasionally, third-party antivirus programs like Avast can incorrectly flag new versions of LaunchBox as threats (a false positive). We can assure you the installer is safe as long as it was downloaded directly from our site or through the update process within our app. Officially, we're only able to recommend using Microsoft Defender, as it’s the only antivirus we consistently verify compatibility with. If you’re using Avast, you may need to add an exception manually. -
Hi there, That logo isn’t related to RetroAchievements. It’s likely that the game in question was previously marked as Completed, which is now represented as Done / Mastered in version 13.22. The theme you’re using probably displays games in that state with that logo. If you change the game’s progress state, does the logo disappear?
