  1. @Jason Carr I finally managed to find out what was causing the issues i was having with LB Next, and i was actually surprised and puzzled by it at the same time.

    Adobe Photoshop, i spent the last two days playing in LB Next with little to no issues (i had one hard lock and had to end the task, but i think it was my own fault), late evening i needed

    to make up another piece of media i was missing, so was working away in Adobe, then i go back to LB Next and add the new media, instantly no refresh. Tried with adobe loaded and unloaded.

    this made no difference once i loaded Adobe then Next became unstable for me, rebooted and next was back to normal working fine with no issues, so loaded Adobe again and again i started

    to have some issues.

    Not sure there is any way to pinpoint why this is happening, and even if there is a fix, i will add my Adobe PS is paid not a dodgy version, not sure if anyone else has had the same issues as me

    but seems to be rare, and while i appreciate that this is an issue, please don't waste too much time on it, i know the cause now for me at least and i will just work around it.

  2. Follow up to my image issue. 

    I think i might have finally nailed it. And i think it was more my issue than an LB issue

    I tried with the 2 monitors still had the same issue, So i went the route of a complete rebuild of my LB.

    I just moved my image folders to the new install, and then started to add the roms/systems back in by adding them rather than just using the Data folders.

    All seems fine, the only thing i have still yet to do is add my Playlists back to LB< but i will remake rather than use the ones i did awhile ago, so they are fresh.

    I've not had much chance to really test everything, but so far so good, and seems to be working fine, and also i've not encountered the unresponsiveness issue with a complete redo.

    In short, seems to be fixed, maybe i had a damaged file or a folder conflict, or a faulty playlist (i did have a lot 60 or so). So i will keep plugging away, and i will report back if it happens again.

  3. I had a thought, i had not been using my triple screen setup for quite sometime, but i didn't play about much in Next until Beta 8, and as it happens i got hold of a triple tree for my monitors so went back to using triple screen and i transitioned over to x3 screens at the same time using LB Next. Maybe there could be a correlation there some where. When i get a chance tomorrow i will go down to two screens again and try that.

    Beta10 still does the same with the images, this time i deleted an image i didn't want, and Next was set to show that image type, and once i hit ok nothing happened, i had to scroll the game off screen again.

  4. Sorry for the lateness getting back here, i wanted to check things out more fully.

    Im noticing in Beta 9 the unresponsiveness of LB Next at times, where it doesn't crash, but just fails to do anything which results in ending the task, tried to do the same things i did in Next on the original LB and had no issues.

    With the what felt like caching/refresh problems i referenced, its still affecting me, but i will say it doesn't see quite so bad, but that maybe a placebo effect.

    I tried a bunch more stuff, i closed all non needed tasks. programs, did a fresh install of LB all was fine for awhile,then on a larger system i started to notice the issues more and more.

    I did have something that i noticed though. I was adding 3DBoxes/Clear Logos to Wii games i had added, now i could add the images select the correct type, and click ok, now nothing happened no refresh, just left the default grey box, yet i added another logo combo to another game right next to that one, and click ok, the screen did a quick refresh and both games showed the correct images. As i said in my first post, it feels like the refresh doesn't always happen, in Original LB you see a small flicker as the image gets updated, in Next i don't always see this and when that happens then no image appears, yet when i get the small flicker the images always show. 

     

    Not much more to add other than this was a fresh install of Win10, and very few applications installed, wanted to try and keep the machine as fresh as possible.

    Small additions.

    Forgot to mention this time i changed my nvidia drivers and went back one revision (i did this on the fresh install of windows, i didn't roll back), as Surround doesn't work properly for x3 screens on the latest drivers, only allows 2 monitors when your 1x3. But i got the issue still with the older driver.

    I've just allowed Beta 10 to update, and i will do some more checking and see if anything has changed or is still the same.

    If you need to chat to me, i'm pretty much always on Discord in LB and my own (im UK based but i keep US hours), or just poke @Lordmonkus to poke me with a stick.

  5. nope, WIndows 10. 

    But it does seem to be intermittent for some reason.

    Doing a reinstall tonight, so will get back to you see if it was something my end. Just found it weird that in the old LB was fine, yet next it acted different;y.

     

    Will post back and let you know the outcome.

  6. Strange behavior in LB-Next

    If i add a game to an already populated system, once the games added and refreshed i have to scroll the window past the actual newly added game then scroll back for it to appear. I checked the exact same file in the original LB and was instantly find-able without having to scroll past the file i know i added.

    Edit images for a rom seems to work the same way, if i add any images and set them to the correct section and then click ok, the image doesn't auto update to the newly added one (i have the correct selection set), i have to scroll the game off screen then back to the game to see the new image, and as before i tested the same thing in the normal LB and it worked fine with no scrolling needed.

    Things i tried.

    Delete the Cache, move the cache folder to another drive, reinstall LB.

    Its as if there is no refresh on change/edits for me in LB Next, yet in Normal LB they function as normal.

    I'm using the latest beta.

    normal behavior.

    LB Next behavior.

    Hope this helps, as i say adding games is the exact same thing as well, just doesn't seem to auto update. Just as an addition, also F5 refresh feels a lot different also, like its not doing the refresh, i had an image i had added and i tried to F5 and the image stayed on the previous image not even from the same selection, so i go to edit the game and the image was there set as the front box which is how i set my LB selections up, i hit OK and nothing changed still the 3DBox image, so i hit F5 and nothing happened, i scrolled the wheel and scrolled back up and bingo image changed to Front Box.
