This is awesome! Thanks!

Thanks so much faeran. This was indeed the fix!

I had the same issue with apostrophes. It would be good if it could support platform/playlist names with apostrophes in them. Have to remove the apostrophe from the name of the playlist and icon.png file to get it to work.

Fixed for me in the Steam Beta March 10 2022 version. I had to exit Steam and restart it to get the update after subscribing to the beta. Thanks.

Steam support just replied. Great news! They just said keep an eye out on the Beta update announcements. I just checked and they've fixed it in the next version! I've opted into Beta but I don't appear to have the latest one yet. Hopefully I will soon and I'll report back if it fixes it. Looks very hopeful!

I just installed a fresh copy of LaunchBox Version 12.7 and it has the same issue for me. So it looks like it wasn't the LaunchBox update. It must have been the Steam update. I tried to disable Hardware Encoding in the Host settings of Steam Remote Play / Steam Streaming. This had no effect. The only work around I know so far is to. Start Steam Streaming / Steam Link / Remote play. Minimise everything on the Host machine (Windows + D), then start BigBox outside a Steam shortcut. Colours are fine for me then. I realise it's very annoying because it means you have to keep going back to the host machine rather than starting everything from the client.

Thanks for the post. The strange thing is that mine is happening on my 2 TVs and my phone being used as the client. So that rules out something with the TV. I’ve also been using steam link / steam streaming for months perfectly fine and the issue only just started at the same time I had a Steam update and LaunchBox update.

I have raised a Steam support ticket for the issue. I'll let you know how it goes.

Updated to Steam beta. Didn’t fix it. Tried SteamLink app on iOS and it has the same problem, so it’s not specific to Samsung TVs. For me, Dolphin loads fine, but I tried a Retroarch game and it was just a black screen. Both games and BigBox look fine in the host PC, just not where it’s streaming to. Attaching images because it’s hard to describe. Looks the same as your original post. I’d call it white washed, high gamma, something like that.

I’m thinking it was the Steam update. Saw a similar issue that has come and gone with Steam updates. https://steamcommunity.com/groups/homestream/discussions/0/1743357605566991061/?ctp=4 I could downgrade Launchbox to rule out the Launchbox update but I’m a bit scared it will lose data or break it. I was thinking I would try the latest beta Steam to see if that helps seeing as you can’t downgrade Steam. For me, as soon as I launch Dolphin emulator from big box, the colours go back to normal. Also, if I run big picture streaming, then minimise it and open big box manually outside Steam, it streams fine, with no colour issue.

I’m having this exact same whitewash issue when steam streaming big box to a Samsung TV. Just started with either Steam update or Launchbox update. I did both around the same time just before I first saw this problem. I’ll try a Steam reinstall as suggested.

Updated to MAME 0238 64bit, including romset. I decided to just leave the .hi where they are, as I noticed the new version of MAME has a new location: "MAME\hiscore\ldrun.hi" So I got a new new high score and it's got the same error. Not sure I'll be able to get as high again lol! 😭 I checked the nvram folder and there isn't one for "ldrun". So I'm struggling to figure it out. The only other thing I see is "MAME\cfg\ldrun.cfg" but there's not much in this file. I'll delete it anyway to see if it fixes anything. I suppose long story short, MAME has to be OK because I am able to update scores for ldrun2, so that rules out config issues stopping all high scores. Which means it's specific to "ldrun", I'm wondering if high scores are broken for ldrun in hi2text. Last seen working last month. Debug 2021-12-07 06-37-41 AM.log

Just tried another game (Lode Runner II) and it worked fine. So I guess like the error says maybe my hi score files are corrupted somehow. Bummer! Will try update MAME then try again. I'll post back if/when I figure out how to fix it. Thanks.

Yeah, strange. And the high scores are saving properly in the game. I'll try deleting the hi and nvram files and have another go.

Hi there! I'm having problems with Lode Runner. I just beat the top score and it didn't upload Here is my log. Thanks in advance! Debug 2021-12-06 06-54-57 PM.log
