Do you have a USB drive or flash drive ? Launchbox can be installed to one without problems, I have a portable install on a 64 GB flash drive and it works great.
LOL I edited my POST, I meant 8 TB, not GB! hahaha (external usb 3 hard drive)

If it's a possible RAM issue, you can try running the Memory Diagnostic Tool from withing Windows to test your sticks (might take a while to finish the test).
You can access it in Control Panel or just type mdsched in the Windows Search and run it.
I'll do this on reboot...since it only happens in LB randomly and nowhere else I'm suspecting the memory is fine, but at this point, I'll try anything.

I would say to download and install a brand new LB and do not use any of your existing setup or files. Maybe try adding some roms without doing anything fancy. Then see if you get any crashes. I think it might be something inside your LB folder that is giving LB and .NET a problem. This would be a test. If it doesn't crash then you know something about your original LB setup and/or configuration is bugging LB out.
I'm using 7.4TB of my 8TB drive right now and I'm wondering how I can do this...I don't have the space...I guess into another folder on the same drive, and then import my games over from the old path into the new games...that's a lot of work, but you're right that would be a decent test to see more so WHEN it starts crashing...

I'm just guessing here so please don't take what I am about to say as fact. But if I had to guess at the issue by looking at your log I would say you either have a ram or hard drive problem.
Possibly, although it never causes any other issues outside of LB, and I use lots of other software, play games, etc....it's odd...
Here is another possible and more brief explanation of what I could find on this error: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2679415/executionengineexception-occurs-during-garbage-collection -
Thanks, I really appreciate it. I don't have the money to change my computer...not anytime soon...

Would Jason be willing to take a look at a details crash dump analysis I did on the error? How can I submit this to him? I'm so beyond frustrated with this, and love Launchbox so much...it really bums me out....new OS, new 8 TB hard drive, doesn't matter...still crashes....from what I can tell based on it, seems to be an issue with "ExecutionEngineException occurs during Garbage Collection"

I had a deeper analysis done through OSRONLINE, and I got this...

Given my error logs above from eventvwr.msc, does anyone have a suggestion I can try? The only thing I can find online is people having the same crash having to contact Microsoft...I guess I may have to do that.
-
As per the above...it crashed 25min before that when I was using it and this is what it gave me in eventvwr that time, it's slightly different for the top entry "runtime at IP" number given:

So not that anyone can truly help me with this, but I've moved my Launchbox collection to a new 8 TB hard drive, and am now using Windows 8.1 pro (instead of 10)
Although it is more stable then it was previously, the crash still occurs all the time if I have launchbox open for long enough....not responding, just the option to CLOSE it...
I don't know what else I can do short of a different computer.... -
Never-mind, I was able to find this.
-
Hey everyone had a hard drive fail with these collections on them, SUCKS.....I wanted to start doodling and trying to get some to work in LB since it seems that will be delayed now....I got most of the data rescued off the drive, thankfully, but there appears to be some casualties...namely with the EXODOS folder, I only have the EXODOS collection in a massive zip file, but no longer have the 300+FB Win3XO file....I need that one to uncompress over my existing collection and re-run the setup....I believe I have all the games that were in the games folder, but need everything else.
Is anyone will to share or provide where I can download the Win3XO collection WITHOUT the game? I mean every other file/folder would be awesome...I dread having to DL that file again....Thanks!

for 1, to get around it for now...you can right-click the platforms list on the left (I use platform categories view), the create a new Platform, I named it MIXED COLLECTIONS...
Right-click a game and choose to ADD IT to a PLAYLIST, name the playlist whatever you want, ..(if you don't see the playlist on your left view after this, just change the VIEW from platforms/platform categories TO PLAYLISTS (on the bottom), then right-click each playlist you want to have appearing in the platform's view and EDIT...then choose the checkbox that says "Include this playlist in Platforms list", and choose the PLATFORM you created (in my case, mixed collections) in the drop-down box and click okay (before you click okay, you can also choose how you want to sort the games added, I do it by TITLE).
...not the same, but at least you will see it, and can name these collections and add games to them manually as you desire and they appear on the same platforms...I have a 2D FIGHTING GAMES and 3D FIGHTING GAMES list I maintain, as well as MEGAMAN, METROID, MARIO playlists, etc...Also if you don't want to always manually have to add games by right-clicking and adding to playlist...you can set up in the previous options the checkmark to 'AUTO-POPULATE this playlist 'and after importing a game, add a tag VIA EDITING the game to have it detect it and add it automatically, I use the field GENRE, and just add values like: 2d-fighting in some, 3d-fighting in others, etc...
Hope that makes sense and helps. -
2. Is there a way to import roms and them use their file names as the game name, this is really useful for hacks and translations so i can see who created the translation or any button activations which I tend to keep in brackets in the file names
For this, if you put what you want to "in brackets" into the VERSION field (right-click / EDIT)...you will usually see it displayed after the games name in parenthesis as you scroll through your collection... -
ImGema, it does get very taxing and time-consuming!
-
Any updates on importing eXoDOS/Win3Xo collections into Launchbox yet? Is this still being worked on? I hope so...can't wait....
-
Perhaps a video on how to search for GENRE/TYPE of games in the regular (non-bigbox) view in Launchbox...sometimes I want to just see RPGS, or Platform games across one or more platforms..takes too long to get there in BigBox...
-
Nothing else to try but allow beta updates in LB, and try that...doing it now, it's installing the latest beta now.

Maybe it's a hardware issue at this point...sigh.

UNBELIEVABLE. So finally, in desperation to have my collection working again, I changed my OS from Windows 10 creators update, to Windows 8.1 (a CLEAN install!)...was so thrilled it seems to work for a good hour or so, then it crashed again... this time not giving me a debug button option, otherwise the same crash.... a not responding window to click OKAY on, then it closes...
I'm pretty rage-quit DEPRESSED at this point. Never thought I would say it, but I guess I may have to go back to Hyperspin / Rocketlauncher... short of changing entire computers, I don't know what the hell to do anymore. UGH! -

I really don't want to do the Creators Update but it's sitting in my system right now just waiting for the "Update and Restart".
Yes, I highly recommend you avoid it! Even if some have had luck overcoming it, some haven't...I'm no tech-newbie either, I fix computers for a living... :-\

I've done everything recommended, and nothing works, no choice but to try 8.1 again...can't live without my Launchbox! LOL...Not after spending this much time on it.....

This is my version.

There shouldn't be any issues with any version of Windows 7, 8 or 10. I have used all 3 of them with Launchbox with no problems.
It's too bad you are having problems with Windows 10 but I can assure you there is something else going on with it for you. Myself and several others use Windows 10 and Launchbox daily without problems.
But do you have the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update?
Nothing else fails with this computer, only LB....there is some conflict with this update and LB...I used it with Windows 10 fine for weeks before this got installed, and now it bombs constantly. :-(
Bummed out, my Launchbox keeps crashing. "Not responding" QUIT or DEBUG

Great tip, I have a 64GB blank and handy...I'll try that....if it doesn't crash then it's my config...great tip guys, should have thought of this before, I'll let you know how that goes...probably test it for a couple days if it doesn't crash fast and get back to you. :-)
