Temp Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 This morning my son ran updates for Windows 10 on his laptop now when he tries to launch games half of them wont load through Launchbox, the other half have a lot of haze and its like looking through a black veil. He tried to go back to a previous restore point before the updates but it is still not loading all of his games, we searched on the forum but didnt see anything about anyone having an issue similar. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Zombeaver Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 What do you mean by "a lot of haze"? Can you include a screenshot? I guess it might not be something that would show up in a screenshot though, I'm not sure... Maybe update the video drivers? I found this post while searching for something similar. Admittedly I'm still on W7 so it's kindof a shot in the dark. 1
Jason Carr Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 Let us know what emulator(s) you're running @Temp. Sounds like an emulator/driver conflict issue of some sort. 1
Temp Posted September 16, 2016 Author Posted September 16, 2016 He is going to try and update his video drivers like Zom mentioned, if that doesn't work we will be back lol. You guys are the best for all the help y'all give. He appreciates it so much. 1
Temp Posted September 16, 2016 Author Posted September 16, 2016 Well the video driver update fixed the haze but unfortunately a lot of his games still don't load. He has some work tonight, if anyone has a suggestion as to why they aren't loading please share, .
Maddoc1007 Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 @Temp he could try using one of the LaunchBox xml backups in the LaunchBox Backup folder check the dates and try one of the oldest ones in there, copy it and paste it in the LaunchBox main folder, before deleting everything after xml in the file name, cut his original LaunchBox.xml and place it somewhere else say desktop, now delete everything after xml from the backup xml file you placed in the Launchbox folder and start LaunchBox and see if that fixes his issue. 1
Temp Posted September 17, 2016 Author Posted September 17, 2016 Thanks for the suggestion @Maddoc1007. We will try that.
Maddoc1007 Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 @Temp if that doesn't work he can always put his original xml back into LaunchBox. 1
Zombeaver Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 What happens if you try to launch them outside of LB - just by themselves.
Temp Posted September 17, 2016 Author Posted September 17, 2016 Still doesn't load all the games in stand alone.
Temp Posted September 17, 2016 Author Posted September 17, 2016 It's weird cause after he did the LB update today some of the games loaded again but after he did the driver update earlier it fixed the haze but now none of the games will load in either of those emulators. So confused lol, he's going to try @Maddoc1007 suggestion. We will get back to y'all.
Maddoc1007 Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 Do you mean They are not launching from Demul or PJ64 themselves outside LaunchBox. If so Maybe the Updates broke the Emulators.
Temp Posted September 17, 2016 Author Posted September 17, 2016 Yes they aren't loading in stand alone or through LB.
Maddoc1007 Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 He may have to fresh install Demul and PJ64 if windows update broke them. 1
Temp Posted September 17, 2016 Author Posted September 17, 2016 Ugh, so many issues lol. Hopefully that's not it and your suggestion works. If not I guess Windows jacked it up.
Maddoc1007 Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 Hopefully not but can happen sometimes 1
Maddoc1007 Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 He should have LaunchBox and his emulators etc backed up on a portable drive and if something like that happens it easy to just put everything back again. 1
Temp Posted September 17, 2016 Author Posted September 17, 2016 Yeah he knows, he's still new to all of this. If it wasn't for this forum and all the kind people here he wouldn't have learned so much.
