Beta 11 is out now to fix a minor bug that @faeran brought to my attention with the new custom images for Big Box theme developers. Sorry for piece-mailing these betas. Nothing has changed in this beta vs. beta 10 when it comes to the Steam/EmuMovies connectivity issues; we still need as much testing as possible on that.

Thanks guys; I have all the above translations updated and into beta 10, which just came out. I planned on releasing today, but we've found a bug that I want to make sure is fixed before the official release comes out. Hopefully we'll put out the official tomorrow.

I just put out beta 10 with some additional debug logging for connection issues. I would appreciate it if anyone who has previously experienced any connection issues with Steam imports or EmuMovies downloads could do some significant testing with this release and provide me with the debug log (turn on debug logging first of course, under Tools > Options > Debugging). Thanks guys, I appreciate it. Hoping we can get a release out tomorrow, but first we definitely need to figure this stuff out so that we're not bitten by it with the official release.

Thanks for reporting that @Retro808; here's the thing though, I'm still skeptical, and I'm betting that you were seeing the same issue as @lockian. Whatever the issue is, it appears to be sporadic, so you probably did see a legitimate issue. What was the exact error message? Any chance you can do some more testing to see if you can reproduce it again? If so, if you can enable debug logging that would be awesome.

Also @lockian, if you would, please enable debug logging under Tools > Options > Debugging and see if you can run through things to get the error and then PM me the error log (under LaunchBox\Logs). If you can also zip up and PM me your LaunchBox\Data folder, that would be a significant help as well. Thank you very much. Do make sure you PM me instead of posting them here for security reasons.

Hey all, I need your help. I'd really like to put out a release today, but I need to confirm that we don't have any new connectivity issues (see @lockian and @Drodrick's issues). The last thing I want is to put out a release and cause issues for a lot of people. Can everyone test to see if imports (especially from Steam) are working properly for them, combined with EmuMovies?

@lockian It is possible that the SSL version change I made for beta 9 is some how messing with EmuMovies, but I can't replicate it, so I'm not sure. Can you test this again to see if it could have been a fluke or a temporary issue? What version of Windows are you running? Also, I still need confirmation if beta 9 actually did fix the Steam metadata not downloading issue that @Belmont and @Pixel (and others) were seeing. I was planning on putting out the release today, but it looks like we may have to delay it until tomorrow to confirm that the Steam connectivity issues are fixed, and that we don't have any further connectivity issues elsewhere as a result of the SSL version change.

This is primarily because that tool is not designed to be used on the root folder of a drive. We might be able to get a fix in for it though.

From what I can tell, my guess is that this is just a freak Windows glitch or something. Are you able to get it to happen again?

Thanks for the report. I won't be fixing it for 10.11 (too close to the release), but we'll put it on our list.

Ugh, whoops. Sorry for that. I apparently missed a field when I went to unblock the account. Try resetting your password one more time and hopefully you'll be good to go.

It looks like you still need to go through the forgot password process. Try going here and reset your password: https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/account/password/reset

@cataclysm67 This kind of dramatic, passive-aggressive garbage is not welcome here. I nearly banned you, but decided not to this time. If it happens again, there will be a permanent ban.

Is that when you try to log in? Or just can't browse any pages?

It's hopefully been cleared up. Spoke with the person who was doing it and they've promised to shape up. Please let me know in this thread if it continues.

It should be enabled again. You may have to clear out your cookies though in order to get back in, and you'll have to reset your password before logging in.

Honestly, that might be a good idea; I have anxiety issues too and a break can sometimes do wonderful things. I'll go ahead and enable the account though.

That really shouldn't be necessary...

I do appreciate that, but I have to admit that the amount of negativity and hate is extensive and fairly alarming. I can re-enable the account if you're confident that you can respond to people respectfully, however.

I'm not sure why that's happening. Your settings file looks fine. I tested beta 9 myself and I don't have that issue. All I can figure is that maybe LaunchBox isn't recognizing the platform as a ROM-based platform, and thus not offering to delete the ROM? Four criteria have to be met in order for LaunchBox to prompt to delete the ROM: The "Allow Deleting ROM Files" setting needs to be checked (and it is in your settings file) The "Application Path" in the game needs to not be empty The game must have an emulator associated with it The ROM file must exist I'm assuming at least one of those criteria are not met. It's also possible that it's a file permissions issue and LaunchBox doesn't have access to the file, for one reason or another.

What version of LaunchBox are you using? Can you PM me your LaunchBox\Data\Settings.xml file?

Hi @LordEvyl, I received various complaints that you were being very disrespectful in your submissions and moderator comments, so I've at least temporarily banned your account. It really doesn't do anyone any good to constantly call people morons and idiots in all caps.

Are you being prompted to delete the game like this?

What platform? LaunchBox never removes games from your hard drive without prompting, and will only prompt to delete ROM files. It can't uninstall Windows games, for example.

He's put in an immense amount of work on the DB, which I'm not sure is a good thing or not. I'll probably be hearing from him I suspect.
