FranzShester Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hi; First of all sorry for my english.. i was very happy with premium version of launchbox 5.5 and I don´t know why I did an update today to the last 5.7 version.. now my launchbox takes a bit more to start up.. it´s actually not a big deal.. but I liked the way launchbox 5.5 started almost "on the fly" before on my computer and now i have to wait 5 to 6 seconds before i can select a game :( .. maybe there are too many new features that made this build bulkier.. or I don´t know .. i just loved the lighter 5.5 version .. it was perfect for me.. is there a way to download the older builds of launchbox instead of the newest one?? As I said is not a big deal.. but I was really happy with my older version :( PD: maybe as a feature request.. you can make a lighter version of launchbox. without bigbox for example in order to be faster.

SentaiBrad Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 BigBox isn't making LaunchBox Bulkier, nor are there many heavy features that should be causing this. Also, in the options you should check the box for Beta Updates because there is a bug in 5.7. There really shouldn't be anything that is causing the longer start time... I know there were some changes made internally to how LaunchBox handles things, like Editing a game is a lot faster now. I always think users should be on the latest version of software as well. So yea... maybe Jason can correct me but I don't particularly think a light weight version can really be possible... everything works together. Maybe a performance bug was introduced but 6 seconds isn't a big deal to me. If more users are seeing an increased initial load time then please let us know.

Jason Carr Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hi Franz, any chance you increased the size of your collection? I don't think the difference between 5.5 and 5.7 startup times should really be different, but LaunchBox does take slightly longer to load as you increase the size of your collection.

FranzShester Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 no, i didn´t increased the size of my collection and I have the same settings as on 5.5... Anyway as I said before.. this is NOT a big deal..I am very VERY happy with the performance of this launcher.. so much so that i always bring an old laptop with just windows xp and launchbox installed on it to the andes mountains and I play there in the middle of nowhere where is no people in miles and miles... then I think "Jason would be proud that his software made it that far" :P thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I'm surprised you're not having bugs with LaunchBox being on XP. I guess if its still working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranzShester Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 on XP I use the 4.6 premium version.. I don´t need to update. 1. because that laptop is too far away in the mountains without internet connection and 2. because it works flawless:) that little issue from the topic occurs on another laptop with windows 10 N installed :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Ah, that explains why it still works on your XP machine. Later versions we dropped support for Windows XP. There is still no clear and cut reason why LaunchBox should be taking longer, but in the grand scheme of things it's still not that long.
