  1. A few games I had manually imported before Uplay and Origin services were added in recent betas. Is it possible to manually assign relevant store badges to these games without having to re-do them all? Similarly, Launchbox doesn't detect the Quake II RTX remaster in my Steam library. I can import this manually but still wanting to add the Steam badge if possible.

  2. I downloaded v1.1.11 off Github and was immediately alerted by Windows Defender. Something along the lines of Win32/Fuerboos.C!cl which is classified as a severe trojan virus. I can see above that others have had similar issues but the name of the virus is different.

    Is this a false positive too? And what causes it?

    Looks like only 3 engines classify it as malicious: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/f085ead4b4ba533a55ce805af52399000e3dd6cd7c300f55e5b111fccef2ff96/detection

  3. I have been playing around with this some more and unfortunately my findings are non-conclusive - at least when it comes to the stutter phenomenon. Where some games benefit from disabled v-sync there is no perceivable difference with others. I feel the impact was greater with previous versions.

    That said, I notice a massively decreased input lag with v-sync turned off across all games. For that reason alone I would advise against this option in PCSX2 and instead play around with third party applications such as RTSS. You can set this to your desired framerate and optionally turn on Triple Buffering in Nvidia Control Panel. Also, for those on anything higher than Windows 7 there is no option to disable Desktop Composition, it is always enabled. Therefore, I would suggest disabling v-sync in PCSX2 altogether.

  4. Fair enough, although I read somewhere that PCSX2 v-sync is kinda borked. I mean they still don't have exclusive fullscreen mode as an option. I'd say that v-sync in Nvidia Control Panel would be more beneficial but your leverage may vary. Also the stuttering in MK was there at 1x resolution and 8x so I'm not sure what was going on with v-sync enabled. With a 9900k there should really be no issues.

  5. This might just be me but I found that turning off v-sync eliminates annoying in-game stutters. Case in point: Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks. Despite running a 2080Ti and 9900k it would frequently stutter. Turned off vsync under emulation settings which made the game smooth as butter.

    Am now doing this for every PS2 game in my collection as haven't noticed screen tearing without it.

    Thanks for the help. I didn't realize what I was seeing is a blurred box image.

    But my problem isn't so much the blur. I have the background set to a custom image, and yet when I select a game, it's changing to the box image. That's new behavior and I can't figure out how to turn it off.

    Tools > Options > Legacy > Images > Background Priorities

    Ensure nothing is ticked for your custom images to load during startup.

    I sure would!!! Orgin not YET being in Launchbox has made me hesitant to use it more frequently. This would be an awesome addition. And being able to play my other faves like Plants vs Zombies would rock! Keep up the great work though guys!

    You could always import the games manually and set the destination path to game.exe (or alternatively origin.exe if the game isn't installed).

    That's what I'm doing anyway.

  8. @alec100_94 thanks for the explanation although it appears it doesn’t affect everyone equally. 

    @Zombeaver and I have both upgraded to the latest LB release (10.14) and find our plugins working as intended without making any changes. How come? I can confirm that 7-Zip has indeed moved to a ThirdParty folder but that doesn’t seem to bother the plugin.
