Hi, thanks for geting back to us. I should also say, my Launchbox is crashing whenever I exit a Game, when Steamlauncher is enabled, doesn't crash with it disabled. Yeah the icons look quite good, although they are now blank for some entries, so maybe stil a work in progress?..
-
Today, the temporary shortcuts are still persistent, but mine now have new icon images, matching the emulator there running on, which is nice. Also, guessing it might be an indication that Steam has made some changes somewhere that affect the plugin.
-
I'm getting the same problem as AbbieDoobie above, multipe new shortcuts being created in Steam. I think they used to be temporary, but they do seem persistent now, until removed manually.

@skizzosjt "Guide button chords will work 24/7 as long as Steam is running....take note, running, it does not need to be in focus for the various Guide button chords to work" This I didn't know, thanks.. I tried adding BigBox as a non-steam game, and I got the overlay working in BigBox, but games wouldn't launch, although I only did minor testing, will have another go tomorrow... Edit, 09/02/24: After lots of testing, adding BigBox (and/or Kodi too btw) as a non Steam game.. the overlay works, but causes some really bad graphical errors.

This might not be the right place for this question, (I'll delete or move it if that's the case) but, does anyone know a way to get the steam guide button overlay working in the BigBox menu, without breaking SteamLauncher? I'd like to be able to access Steam Chat etc in Big Picture Mode, from the BigBox menu, as well as the Guide Button Chords to access Discord overlay, and maybe Parsec overlay too if possible.. Any thoughts appreciated, thanks

Hi all, I found something interesting... I've been looking into ways to try to make the startup process a bit smoother, starting with trying to find a way to stop the Steam Pop-up, and I found this https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/6516193260174637803/ thread, which seemed promising. However, after applying the Registry Edit solution mentioned in there, the Steam Pop-up is still happening, but it's silenced/hidden the "Steamlauncher Proxy" window instead, which is nice, but not what I was expecting. So, I no longer see the "Steamlauncher Proxy" window at all, it seems to run in the background, and the startup process looks a lot cleaner. I've been testing with BigBox and Retroarch, and it seems to work perfectly for me, except for a few instances of losing focus; mainly on the BigBox pause screen, and when I exit the game through BigBox Pause or Retroarch; exiting games using the Steam menu sems to work fine.

EDIT No.2: Everything I wrote before is pretty much irrelevant, so I've started again, but for anyone else searching for this issue.. My problems were all to do with having Steam-Input enabled for X-Box controllers, in the Steam settings... (and some from being too lazy/ignorant to remap my 8BitDo controller in Retroarch; I assumed it was recognised as a 360 controller, but it was working under Steam-Input) For whatever reason under the hood; SteamLauncher wouldn't seem to launch anything. The shortcut for the game would be created, but shut down right away, or sometimes timed out, according to the logs.. The other symptom of this, for any non-SteamLauncher users searching for a fix, is that controller input in BigBox was double pressing every input; moving or clicking twice for every button press; once with the controller, and once from the Steam-Inputs "Keyboard". Insanely annoying, and I couldn't find any help when searching myself, hopefully this helps someone else.

Hi, Happy New Year all!.. Is this Plugin still working at the moment? I've been away for months, just re-installed, but can't seem to get it to "Steam-Launch" anything.. Any answers welcome, thanks!

Just tested on a new setup, working perfectly.. Awesome job Lahma, thanks for all the hard work!

For those who dont know, Parsec is a program which allows you to host your game/screen, and allows other people to join your game, with full controller inputs, from a client app at another location. Its a bit like Netplay for Retroarch, except without the hassle of needing identical matching ROMs and Cores, essentially opening up every multiplayer game in your library to be able to be played with friends (or strangers) online easily. Anyway, I'd really like to see Parsec Integration make it into the next Community Poll, and for that it needs people to vote for it on Bitbucket, so if this sounds interesting to you, please get over to Bitbucket and give it a vote, I think it would be an awesome addition. https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/6214/parsec-integration -
This Plugin is great, and has been an essential part of my Launchbox setup for a long time now. The level of controller customisation this integrates from Steam, and the convenience of it being a single integrated interface, accessible by the controller guide button, which automatically saves and reloads your custom configs per-game with zero effort, is just awesome. Even if you have no friends or games on Steam, this plugin is worth it for the controller configs alone. Any problems with the plugin are usually user-error/odd use-case, or changes made by Steam or Launchbox. The Plugin author is very communicative, active on the forum support thread, and is quick to fix any problems that do come up, great job. -
Just installed 11.4, and I've got the same error as Nokiaman above.
-
Did you have the previous version already installed? or just trying it out for the first time?.. The link above is for the Alpha .DLL file only; you still need the other 5 files that come with the plugin when downloaded from the forums, and they all need to be in the folder: Launchbox/Plugins/SteamLauncher/

Open specific region version of ROM from archive by default?
HTPCei replied to HTPCei's topic in Troubleshooting
Thought that was the case, I'm just a bit rusty on the details with this stuff... Many thanks guys, I'm off to sort out my Library again... -
Open specific region version of ROM from archive by default?
HTPCei replied to HTPCei's topic in Troubleshooting
Thanks for the swift response, and for confirming what I was dreading, now I just need to check my whole library again haha So, if I unzipped all the archives containing multiple regions, then zipped them all separately to save space; will Launchbox import each ROM as a separate game listing? Or should it then import just 1 game, choosing the Region based on my specifications? Thanks again
