So the path's technically 'Y:\Games\Super Nintendo (SNES)', but because it's a mapped network drive and I want to keep LB as portable as possible, I'd rather direct it to the parent directory as opposed to a specific drive letter if possible (Launchbox is installed to 'Y:\LaunchBox')

Neither "..\Games\Super Nintendo (SNES)" or "\\Games\Super Nintendo (SNES)" is working for me, why is this?

Got it working - just posting to help anyone with a similar issue in the future. Turns out it was the network drive, no issues at all running LB from my local drive (which surprised me as I haven't encountered any issues running other (portable) programs from a mapped drive yet). The way I got around it was by installing LB on my C drive, copying it over to my mapped drive, then creating a symbolic link on my C drive to the LB folder on my mapped drive. Just in the process of copying all my data over from my previous LB installation on my old machine

I had tried adding the LB to the exceptions previously. Still getting the issue though after shutting all extra software down, removing the suggested folder and reinstalling

Thanks for getting back to me Is the issue maybe that it's on a network drive? I've switched my desktop for a laptop + eGPU + NAS combo - unfortunately I don't really have any space left on my laptop's SSD so I'm keen to keep it all on the NAS if I can... It's a new disk that I ran a check on a couple of weeks ago and there are no issues with it. I'll start by closing MalwareBytes, Razer Cortex etc though.

I'm having the issue on my Razer Blade Stealth (Late 2019 Edition). It shows it as 'Initializing' for around 10 seconds before just closing. The dependencies are all installed and no issues with SFC /scannow. I also don't have Riva Tuner installed and have tried reinstalling LB. What's my next step? Cheers

Hey guys - I've copied Launchbox to a microSD card to use with my GPD Win. When opening Launchbox/Bigbox, it tries to create a directory but says it doesn't have permission, even when launching as an admin. I've also noticed that any settings I change in emulators aren't saving, which leads me to think there's some sort of issue to do with write-permissions on the card? I remember reading a while back that it's something to do with the whole 'safe to remove sd card thing'?

Thanks Jason, I have tried that though and it's definitely not picking up all the data anymore (even when ticking the inc. wikipedia option). Virtually all the fields are empty on most of the games that were previously filled, and big games such as Ark are missing their artwork: (spec ops is where the 'Windows' games ends) Also, is there a way to add a wildcard to custom filter fields? For example, if you want a filter for all 'Cooperative' (genre) 'PC' games that includes games that have multiple genres (as long as 'Cooperative' is one of them)? Thanks!

Thanks Jason, I seem to have some images back but not others. All titles seem to be missing their metadata too. Is there an easy fix for these two issues? Can I just delete them all and re-add them? If I do that, how can I ensure they're assigned to the 'PC' platform? Thanks,

I bulk-edited them all to 'PC' and now they've lost all their metadata and searching for it isn't working either - help!

Sorry, my bad, I assumed when you said 'Windows' you meant 'PC' - you're right, they're under the 'Windows' platform. How can I combine the PC and Windows platforms into 1? ...I don't remember there being 2 platforms previously. Cheers

They're not there - at first I thought it was an issue with custom filters, so I checked platforms straight after...

I'm running the latest beta. I've just added my latest Steam games but they're not showing up anywhere, is there a way to refresh a certain platform? I've tried the import Steam games option again but they're not featured on the list so they're definitely in my database. I've also tried closing and reopening the program.

Jason Carr said Hi @crimsonnight, instead of importing via a folder, try using add files. Then go to your wbfs folder, and type *.wbfs into the search box in the top right of the browse dialog. Then select them all with Ctrl+A and see if that works for you. :) That worked, cheers!
