The Papaw

I am using the CriticalZoneV2 - BlueBox theme, when I do the <CTRL> B, it looks like it is trying to load the default theme or something, the wheel is more like the default. The first image is the 1st error, 2nd image (2nd error) pops up immediately after 1st. The CriticalZoneV2 - BlueBox theme looks nothing like the screen shots. I removed all the themes but this one and the default ones. Also tried deleting both LB & BB cache to check if that was part of it. It works fine if I just run BB, only does this when I do the <CTRL> B

When I have LB running and try to do a <CTRL> B into BB, it is trying to go into some other theme instead of the one I am using with lots of errors. Any one else tried this or having issues with it?

I uploaded a video way back in the 11 betas where audio from video snap gets stuck sometimes, even when you go to another game with a different video snap, only way to stop it is to close LB and wait for LB backup process to end. That is still occurring, just thought I would let someone know. But I was able to edit for hours yesterday without a single crash I may have asked this before: If it isn't to hard to add, it sure would be nice to have "Open Videos Folder" added to the context menu since all the new video stuff has been added to LB, JMO

I just wanted to give a little update on the quoted issue. I have had crashing issues pretty much since v11 started. After 11.2 things got much worse. I updated to 11.3.10 last night, This morning, I have only been working with the editing side so far (where most all of my crashing was occurring), but in the last 2 solid hours of editing, I have NOT had a single crash. I would have had so many crashes previously in every version from 11 to 11.3.9, especially the 11.3.? versions I have no idea what was changed in 11.3.10, but it has made a HUGE, HUGE difference for me. I haven't changed a single thing concerning my system, even still using 2 separate NAS drives (one for roms, one for media). Like I said, only updating info on all the crashing posts I have done during editing. Not tested anything else much. BETTER & BETTER!!!

Hey Jason, I mean legitimate crashes, click the OKAY button when adding or editing a game and "POOF" when pre-existing videos are already in place, LB closes and the process is no longer running period. Like a kill switch on the EXE lol. Beta 9 is out, so let me see how things go with it, as I said in the last post, Beta 8 made much improvement for me, I wasn't being sarcastic or anything, it really got better for me with Beta 8, hoping even better with Beta 9. Just so ya know, I have tried a few different things that may be unique to my system, like disabling the Optane memory (since it is like a ram/cache drive), done full update of windows, including updating from windows v1909 to v2004. Disabled all over-clocking, etc. None of them helped. I am wondering if most of my crashing issues are related more on the locations I am using for my media and rom storage. Being on 2 different NAS drives. I use one drive mapped as "Y" for my roms and a different drive mapped as "Z" for game media (images, videos, manuals, music, etc.). Not sure if that's the problem, but a possibility. So it may be something I will have to deal with like getting a 14TB or 16TB HDD to get the roms and media back on a single drive. I have 3 PC's and 3 Nvidea Shields in my network, all using the same set of roms and media, to keep from having multiple copies of it all. Hang in there buddy, like I said, it is getting better and better. It'll get there. Will report good or bad with 11.3.9, hopefully it' working even better than 8

My install hung a couple times during the download process of v13.3.8 as mentioned by others, probably not LB related. But I am tickled to say, I have had far, far less crashes with v13.3.8. When I manually add a game, it auto focus' to the game if I have no pre-existing video for it, if I have a pre-existing video, it sometimes crashes, but when it doesn't crash and adds the game, it doesn't auto focus on newly added game, but back to top of the games of the platform. Getting better and better!

@Jason Carr: Hey Jason, got videos fixed, deleted the posts, was the video tick in the game details, have no idea how it got un-ticked?? They no longer auto-play, is that something new?

Using Brave browser as well, it is good now for me also.

@Jason Carr: Hey Jason, was going to download stable release of LB from the normal download section, like a newby, got this instead, thought you might like to know.

@Jason Carr Hey bud, you may have misread my post, the command line is working for me.

I actually set up the Future Pinball platform last week (after I installed beta). When I was setting it up, I read somewhere not to use some of the older ways of doing it, but simply add "/open %romfile% /play /exit" (without quotes) in the Default Command-line Parameters. It is working great for me. I can't get any pause screen button combos to work and the exit button combo takes me back to LB without an exit screen and opens the context menu on the table I was playing. But haven't spent much time with all that yet....

Yes Sir, exactly what I do. After I add a new game, it jumps back to the top. I will check it again, maybe tomorrow, I reset explorer on the pc to see if it might be causing some of my issues. I have an issue that when LB is open and I start clicking on png files, Photos just hangs on a black screen. I can close LB and click all day long and can't get it to happen. And sadly, none of happened until this round of betas

Thx for reply, on the focus issue, you totally lost me "if the game is in the current sidebar filter", I clicked on the WINDOWS platform (that focus' ALL Windows games), added a WINDOWS game, like I have done forever...lol. Just reporting my Real World usage and findings. When scanning for new roms, I can't say I actually looked, and assumed it was getting everything. Glad to know. Suppose I got 20,000 roms to go through to look at their names now to see how many have gotten skipped... Maybe I need to go back to v10.15 and sit this out...hahaha

PC Specs: ASrock Z390 Taichi with 8086k clocked @5ghz 32GB of 3200 RAM EVGA 1080ti FTW video card 8TB internal drive (250GB for OS, the rest is D drive) Intel Optane 32GB model few other HDD's internal set up as raid for backups, All drivers up-to-date on all devices including BIOS I have been running same hardware setup for almost 2 years now I'm using LB 11.3.4 installed on Drive D (internal hdd) Roms are all stored on Drive Y (mapped drive on NAS) All media is stored on Drive Z (another mapped drive on same NAS) Still on Windows (1909) I had NET core installed I believe, but was prompted to install when LB updated to 11.3.2 if not mistaken, which I allowed. The focus issue was working in 11.3.3, but when I updated to 11.3.4 it stopped. had a lot less editing issues with the video snaps as well in 11.3.3. Anything else you can think of or might be of any help????

Same as @Chaotic Viral

A couple things I have found not working in Beta 4: 1. When adding a game manually, it isn't focusing on game after you hit OK 2. When scanning for new roms, it is ignoreing games with () if there is a game with the same name without () IE: LB finds Blade Runner and will let you add it, but it doesn't show Blade Runner (version 2), I have to manually add them

Have you imported and scraped your stuff since beta release or already had it set up before before this beta release. Are you using media folders outside of the default folders?

@Chaotic Viral I am having the same problem

Sorry Jason, there is no error, LB just disappears without saving anything. I did notice it starts to show the tiny bar at the top, like its doing the refreshing portion, it goes maybe 1/2 way and poof, LB is gone and have to re-open it. UPDATE: @Jason Carr Addde log file for ya, I think it was the last one with crash Debug 2020-07-29 12-55-35 PM.log UPDATE 2: @Jason Carr Hey Jason, here are a few more log files, shows how often beta-4 is crashing on me now.... 12 times in just a 2-3 hour period. Logs.7z

Here is another issue. i am using Beta-4, but it was in Beta-3 as well. Scanned in collection of Furtue Pinball a few days back, been working on posters for them. Had a bunch of video snaps already and put them in my video folder. When LB imported, some of the videos were picked up and assigned to game and work. But if the name of the video is a bit different than LB has named the game and you try to edit the game, LB crashes every time whhen you hit OK. Here is an example: Name of the rom - Sweet Hearts.fpt Name of the video - Sweet Hearts (Gottlieb) (1963).mp4 Other than scanning in the roms, LB found the video on its own. But if I try to edit the game, it will crash every time I click on OK unless I rename the video to Sweet Hearts-01.mp4. This was not a problem in the past for me. Like I said, was in previous beta release as well ADDED INFO: Lot more crashing when editing and videos are already there. Bout to go back to beta 3

They are working for me, they apparently don't work with the Future Pinball emulator. Thanks for all the replies everyone

Are Pause screens working? I can't get any of them to work, not even Default. Tried remapping a couple different combinations, na-dah....

@Jason Carr Just wanted to let you know that the audio issue from video snaps continuing is still happening, not near as often, actually only happened to me once since the 11.3 beta update today.

Yes Sir, only one causing problems are the Retro theme ones. And thanks for the mouse tip!

I checked to see if I had any problems with Dolphin, turns out, I have a problem with EVERY emulator. I had to disable the "Game Startup Screen" for every emulator. If enabled, I loose my mouse cursor, I see a 2nd process for LB as Startup running, but nothing else ever happens. Even if I kill LB, only way to get mouse cursor back is reboot PC. UPDATE: Found the problem, it was actually the Startup Theme being used
