  1. @C-Beats My issue is also fixed. Thanks a million! Your effort is greatly appreciated.
  2. @C-Beats This behavior persists for several days already, so I don't think it's the problem. Actually, I looked into the latest Metadata.xml, and its entry on Rogue Trader looks a bit strange as it has no DatabaseID field that, I believe, is mandatory. The entry on Burnhouse Lane also has no DatabaseID. So the issue is probably not related to the current beta, but rather to incorrect generation of Metadata.xml. Should I move this discussion to another forum section, like "LaunchBox Games Database > Troubleshooting" ?
  3. Not sure if it's related to the latest beta, but after updating to it I found out that Launchbox cannot find some of the games that are in its database. For example, when I go to https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/ and search for "Burnhouse Lane", I find it: https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/382426-burnhouse-lane But when I try to add "Burnhouse Lane" in the app itself, it says that no games with this title can be found. The same applies to Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader and, probably, several other titles I can't remember right now. P.S. I have of course made sure that the latest game metadata package is downloaded.
  4. Not sure if this is related to the latest beta, but searching for new games in LB now behaves weirdly for me. For example, searching for "Echo Night" in LB finds two games, while searching for the exact same string on the website (https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/results?id=Echo Night) finds all three. I'm on 12.2 beta 5.
  5. I guess LB users who created over a thousand GamesDB entries for PS4 games and another thousand for X1X games would not agree with that reasoning, but it's your decision of course, I can live with that
  6. Lou, LaunchBox is not limited to emulation. It's about managing game lists of all kinds. For example, its platform list includes Microsoft Xbox One and Sony Playstation 4, which are not emulated afaik. And yes, I created PS5 platform in my local LaunchBox installation, but having it in the official database would be nice.
  7. Adding PS5 to the platform list sure would be nice.
  8. The new edit dialog looks very nice! But pressing ESC doesn't close it. Jason, could you please add ESC shortcut for closing this dialog? Thanks in advance!
  9. Looks like something went slightly wrong with sort titles in this version (just discovered the issue, not sure when exactly this happened). Originally, the sort titles went in this order: for example, "Deus Ex 1", "Deus Ex 2", "Deus Ex 3", "Deus Ex 3.1", "Deus Ex 4" Now, the game auto sorts them like this: "Deus Ex 1", "Deus Ex 2", "Deus Ex 3", "Deus Ex 4", "Deus Ex 3.1" Something broken recently, or working as intended?
  10. Can we please have these removed from the database? https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/developers/games/832 and https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/developers/games/238 (variations of https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/developers/details/1327, contain no games) https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/developers/games/9096 (variation of https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/developers/games/9161, contains no games) Thank you!
  11. Downloaded Beta 13 — great work, guys! Still, could you please fix the left sidebar spacing in LB Next? It is unnecessarily huge now.
  12. @DaveC, I second that. The spacing in the left column of LB.Next is too big.
  13. Adjustable sidebar width, that's great news! I really prefer my sidebar narrow. However, the sidebar now looks a bit weird, as if an area right below the icons is occupied by something invisible, and the game name wraps to the left. Looks kind of unnatural.Not sure if this behavior is new in Next 8.3; but I never noticed it before. Probably it could be changed?
  14. It's getting worse... Metal Gear Solid 3 for Windows? Fortran, a construction sim by Nintendo? Really? I like to help out with moderation from time to time, but with hundreds of absurd entries in the moderation queue, it's really too much. Something should be done about it soon, please.
  15. @lotus Yes that's exactly it! Tested it now. If any platform is specified, scraping works OK. If the platform is empty, it won't scrape. Thanks a lot
  16. @Jason Carr, one LaunchBox\Metadata\Metadata.xml coming right up! Hope this helps. Metadata.zip
  17. @Jason Carr, aaaaand the bug strikes back immediately upon upgrade to 7.15beta. Please let me know how I can be of help.
  18. @Jason Carr, no problem, I'll clone my LB install now and upgrade it to 7.11 beta. If/when the scrape bug hits again, I'll be glad to share whatever information I can.
  19. Jason, I have no idea how this could be reproduced. In all previous cases, it went like this: I upgrade from 7.10 release to 7.11 beta, play around with it for couple of days, everything works great, then scraping just stops without a warning. Regardless of what I type in "add new game" dialog, I never get any hits in gamesDB, only in Wikipedia. Tried searching for "a" — still no hits Once the scraping stops, it stays this way forever. The only way to fix it is to go back to 7.10.
  20. I had the same experience with 7.11. Everything is working ok for a couple of days, then GamesDB scraping stops, for no reason, no error messages, just stops. This happened to me several times on different 7.11 betas. Had to roll back to 7.10 release.
  21. Cyrillic fonts are broken as well. Any names I provide for Russian games are transformed into ?????? ??? ????? Would be very nice to see this small issue fixed.
  22. Same here. The error occurs with "Heart of China" for Amiga. The submission says "Release Date: Invalid date", so maybe that's the source of the problem?
  23. Yes, that was one of things I hoped for when I paid for LB license. It's not a complaint, far from it The app is absolutely awesome! (and getting even better) Just wanted to add that it'd be nice to see some metadata edit functionality in the list view, or at least column view customization, as mentioned above.
  24. Guys, Something seems to be wrong with non-English (namely, Cyrillic) characters in the alternate game names. For example, Evil Islands: http://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/13903 The alternate Russian name should read "Проклятые земли" (it really should, I filled it in myself), but it says "???????? ?????" instead. Probably a tiny bug, but still
  25. Cognition entry just approved with no problems, thank you guys if you're reading this. Guess the first attempt was just a freak accident, 6 (six) moderators declining it nearly at the same time was a bit unusual :) To avoid this, we really need an optional field for explaining the reasons for submitting or changing game data.
