  1. My only suggestion would be to reinstall your video drivers, DirectX & .net. I had them all up to date, but I went through and reinstalled them and the bug went away.

    Other possibly effective things are my end are running ver 7.8 Launchbox & using WMP for video playback, though I was doing this before to no effect.

  2. I fixed this... somehow. It's been running for 12 hours now with stable memory.

    Things I've done since my post:

    • Reinstalled Launch box (again)
    • Reinstalled Windows (again)
    • Reinstalled .net 4.7 and Direct X
    • Updated video card drivers.

    I think it was either the .net, DirectX or driver reinstall. I didn't see results until after I did those.

  3. Hello! I'm new to Launchbox, and am so far enjoying it a lot. I have one problem though, and it's a memory leak that slowly occurs while attract mode is running. I've been doing a lot of testing and troubleshooting and just cannot nail the cause.

    First, my machine specs:

    • Intel i3-2100 3.1GHz
    • 8 Gb RAM
    • Geforce GT 710
    • Seagate Barracuda 250gb HDD
    • Windows 10
    • Launchbox 7.12 Beta 1

    What I've tried:

    • Reinstalling Launchbox
    • Uninstalling all codecs, reinstalling w/ K-Lite Community Codec
    • Upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10
    • Changing default video player from VLC to WMP
    • Installing an older version of Launchbox (I think it was 7.08)
    • Updating all drivers

    The memory leak is relatively slow, but it will crash out over night. BigBox steadily increases from ~900 mb to 6-7 gb before it crashes. As of typing this, it's up to around 4 gb usage in about 3 hours of run time. I've noticed if I slow down how often attract mode changes games, it slows down how much it leaks. If I turn off videos, either the leak stops or it slows down so much I don't notice it within a day's time.

    I'm out of ideas, if y'all have any I'd love to hear them. This isn't a deal breaker, but attract mode is so, well, attractive. I would love to keep using it. Thanks for your time on this!
