Jason Carr Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 @Bedwyr, I haven't really been able to replicate the Options issue, but I did make some important fixes regarding stability, so if we're lucky that problem will be fixed. Let me know if not.
Riffman81 Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Seems to be working fine now, Thanks Jason! I've only tested .zip files, so I can't speak for .rar, .7z, etc.. but I'll do some more testing once I setup more systems. I haven't tested any disc based games yet, I'm still in the process of migrating over from HyperSpin.
Riffman81 Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Ok, after doing some more testing, it seems LaunchBox is deleting the archive from the Games folder upon closing the emulator and going back into the FE. Upon trying 3 Ninja's Kickback again just to see if it was in fact deleting the extracted game properly, I noticed that the Temp folder is in fact empty, but it's also removing the original archives.

Ouch!!!! Whoops...fixing that now... :/
Jason Carr Posted March 15, 2016 Author Posted March 15, 2016 Alright, new beta is out that fixes that issue. Sorry for that folks, update away from beta 5 promptly. Glad you caught that early, @Riffman81.
DOS76 Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Jason the new beta won't install it says the setup files are corrupt obtain a new version of the program.
Jason Carr Posted March 15, 2016 Author Posted March 15, 2016 GAH!!!!!!! Alright, fixed. Damn internets.
Bedwyr Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Ok, so tried beta 6 and had the same problem. Uninstalled and reverted back to 5.8 and discovered I have the same issue. This happened right after rebooting windows so I know it's not a parallel program like Kodi causing anything. Could be a memory resident program like controller companion or anydvd. Clarified steps to replicate: - Reboot Windows - Start BigBox - Start a game in BigBox - Close BigBox - Open LaunchBox - Select Options

DOS76 Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Ok I copied those steps twice once switching back to desktop mode and once exiting and then starting LB from my taskbar when I go into options everything is fine when I click ok without making any changes I get the spinning wheel for less than 10 seconds and there is a second where the screen looks like it is going to resize then stops and returns to normal I've seen this before back before the major optimization when it took some time for the edit form to open.
Bedwyr Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Urgh. Ok, possibilities that occur to me: - Memory resident issues -- Controller Companion -- AnyDVDHD -- nVidia Experience -- Java (for Minecraft) - Windows 10 - Hardware -- nVidia gtx 660 -- 3670k i5 Any other possibilities?
SentaiBrad Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 I use Nvidia Experience and Java myself too, so those are less likely. I am also on Windows 10 with the latest Beta Drivers for my GTX 970.
DOS76 Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 I'm on Windows 10 with Nvidia Exp. and Java have a 750TI and a Core i5 6500 in my machine.
Bedwyr Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Got it! It's the Xbox 1 controller. As long as it's active, Options won't pop up. I can normally select Options all day long to my hearts content but with the XB1 turned on it will not load. That's why I was making the BB connection. It's the only time I usually have the controller active and why I claimed the behavior happened only after loading BB. Possible things to test further: - This is with the wireless receiver. Does it also happen on a USB cable? - How about the 360 controller and wireless receiver? - I've disabled normal Win10 "game bar" functionality. Will the same behavior appear if I re-enabled it?
SentaiBrad Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 There have been a lot of issues related to the Xbox One controller driver's and games, LaunchBox and Emulators so I am not surprised. PS4 and Xbox 360 controllers are working just fine I believe. At least my PS4 controller is which the PC thinks (stupidly) that it's a 360 pad, but it's just how the drivers work.
Bedwyr Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Oddly, this only applies to the Options menu. No other popup has the same problem; I just tested it. It's also super reliable. If I have the controller on and select Options no popup. If I hold down the guide button, the very second it shuts off the Options menu pops up.
SentaiBrad Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Well sadly I am unsure if there is going to be anything Jason is going to be able to do to fix that one, it is a drivers issue more than likely because they've been having a lot of them recently. I am sorry this was happening, but now we at least know a culprit.
Jason Carr Posted March 15, 2016 Author Posted March 15, 2016 Wow, well I do have to thank you and congratulate you, @Bedwyr for your troubleshooting skills! That's impressive. Thanks for that. I do have an Xbox One controller to test with so I'll take a look at that soon. :)
