are you using stand alone emulators for those 4 that freeze?

That sounds reasonable to me @coleroddy. I believe the route to some countries from LB may have issues, but I do know the LB servers themselves are fine since speed is good for me. Probably it's in Jason's court to work this out with his provider. Hope he can.

looks like things start to get ugly in brazil: ebt-H0-10-0-0-tcore01.bhe.embratel.net.br

here is a more realistic download speed i got for the LB setup installer: $ curl -O https://www.launchbox-app.com/download?g=c90b94d1-c11b-41c3-b7af-17d8f36f98b7 % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 158M 100 158M 0 0 8464k 0 0:00:19 0:00:19 --:--:-- 11.1M Very fast and what I would expect for my isp plan.

i just downloaded the 166MB launchbox installer from launchbox-app.com in 2 seconds. i have a 100Mbps download with my isp. edit: yes, i realize 2 seconds is way faster than 100Mbps. i guess my isp gave me some extra juice on that download!

so, if you give them the tracert output to the LB server (assuming you know the LB server IP or name), they should be able to see where there is a problem, if there is one. you want to look for unusually large response times. if you see good, somewhat consistent response times from line to line and then suddenly a very high one, that's where at least one bad link is. in the output you may be able to get an idea where the problem occurs, by looking at the names on each line. in any case, if you see some big response times, you can give that output to your isp. they may blame some other link and say it has nothing to do with them. but basically, it takes me nowhere near 20-30 minutes to import 5 games and i'm sure it's not taking some countries in europe that long either since i haven't hear people like @neil9000 saying it's so bad. that leads me to believe there is an exceptionally bad link in the path from LB to you. maybe your isp can offer something that might help. i just ran a traceroute from my Mac to launchbox-app.com (i have no idea if this is where downloads come from) and it gets past my isp with very good repsonse times, but does get pretty bad response times once it hits us.bb.gin.ntt.net, but not nearly as bad as the speeds you're seeing with your downloads. lastly, maybe @Jason Carr has some suggestions for you.

Don't we all Good deal about the klite update.

And this is all the more likely that there is some slow or troubled link between your geographical area and the LB server. Do the traceroute and prove where the slowdown is, otherwise you won't be able to get much help from anyone. Like I said, it's not slow at all for me. It may not be blistering fast, but it sure isn't anywhere near as slow for me as the speeds you have described.

try installing the latest klite codec pack, reboot, try again. works fine for me.

try right clicking the exe , select properties, and see if there is an Unblock button to click. edit: you might also try disabling windows firewall/defender and any other AV software just to see if it works with them off.

i'm in the U.S., i can say it's not slow at all for me. that doesn't mean it won't be slow for someone in Brazil or other places. i don't know where the LB servers are, but i would imagine there is something slowing things down between LB servers and you. could very well be something before your isp gets it. if you do a network trace, you could get the ip of the LB server and try running a traceroute command to that ip to see where the problem occurs and give that to your isp to investigate.

i didn't read this whole thread, but if nothing happens when you try to launch BB, try right clicking on the bigbox.exe file and going to properties. see if there is an Unblock button and click that. if that's not it, try running it with no anti virus type software to see if maybe that is blocking it. if neither of those work, i'd just suggest you reinstall Launchbox to the same folder and then try to launch it.

is this with all emulators or just a select few? because i had run into this only in the versions you mention as well, but only with Demul. also i hit this with retroarch, but a newer version of retroarch cleared that one. so basically i had found with Demul, i had to add a specific ahk script in the demul ahk tab with a specific way to close Demul. then my problems went away. but for many people, the usual ahk script worked for Demul. but i assume you already found that on the forum posts and tried it. i use the same buttons with controller automation as you. i use a xbox 360 as well as a xbox one controller.

I have this in my HTPC (secondary LB setup). It has a nvidia 1050ti (but used to have an old nvidia 560). I run BB totally fine with this hardware (even when i had my very old nvidia 560). One thing that can really help in BB is to go into options in the image cache section and choose to force cache all game images. Wait for it to totally finish before using BB. You can monitor Launchbox\Images\Cache number of files. When the number of files stops growing in that folder, it's done caching and should run nice. Also, the ram cache memory setting in LB options does not affect BB at all. That setting is only for LB.

I'm on 7.14 and really wanted to try the Minimal AO theme, but all I get is poltergeist TV for each game I land on. Not sure if it's a bug or I'm just missing something. I normally just use the default BB theme since everything works in that one.

you are supposed to choose "other" since these are not roms.

My LB and BB loads up extremely fast with around 12k games, but then again I'm running on a super computer.

you can import your shortcuts. should work fine. if you have a lot of Steam games, you could try the import steam games option.

VLC is evil in LB/BB. Don't look back. You can right click and pause in WMP

No issue here. I'm using WMP for the LB video player.

cool. would be nice to be able to skip the emumovies media screen if you want to cuz that adds extra time even when you don't want to use it.

i know i can't use my Buffalo controller cuz it gives BB a scrolling fit

i have seen this lately too when importing, on and off, but not in the new Betas. I "think" it is actually a problem on the back end when getting the downloads, and isn't really a LB problem. so i have to import without checking any downloads sometimes and get the downloads after the fact.

haha, well, whose fault is that? that's the only thing it gives me. all i did was let BB sit there and after a few minutes it would usually just crash without warning. i have no set of magic steps to use, since this seems very system specific. all i can say is i have about 4600 games, no videos, and clear logo/box art/gameplayscreenshots. default BB theme

yes. good news you fixed that. but for most of the crashes it was not while exiting and I got no popup. just this in event viewer: Faulting application name: BigBox.exe, version: 7.12.0.0, time stamp: 0x59f36e7c Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 10.0.15063.608, time stamp: 0x8274fd8b Exception code: 0xc0000374 Fault offset: 0x00000000000f775f Faulting process id: 0x1ca0 Faulting application start time: 0x01d35271f840ea74 Faulting application path: E:\Launchbox\BigBox.exe Faulting module path: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll Report Id: ecb06dad-c03f-4859-8e5b-3d69327e723c Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID: Edit: this only happens on my work PC. i never hit this on my personal PCs.
