8Phantasm Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) I started with a clean install of LaunchBox and added a few Wii U games. Problem is when I try to go into BigBox mode, it is just stuck on the first platform screen. If I select Wii U, I hear the sound but nothing happens. Same with "escape". Then all I can do is close bigbox from the task manager. Any ideas? Thanks EDIT: It works fine in Desktop Mode, by the way.

rodan1967 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) I have same problem. Someone suggested changing program permission to admin but that did not work. Previous version of Launchbox had no issues for me with Big Box mode which worked fine before updating. I also have tried doing a clean install of LB 7.5 thinking that might fix problem but no such luck.

rodan1967 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Ok solved issue on my pc. After updating to LB 7.5 the License Registration info seems to have gotten hosed even though the License.xml is in the Launchbox directory. Load the desktop mode and goto About > License Registration and select your License.xml in your Launchbox directory. Now it should not hang when launching Big Box Mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodan1967 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Spoke too soon. Updated Launchbox on my desktop to 7.5 from 6.4 and tried the License.xml trick and no luck. It also is stuck on the same screen as shown above. This tricked worked on my laptop but not on the desktop. Argh.

8Phantasm Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the replies. I tried re-selecting the license xml on my desktop PC but it did not work, unfortunately. Running Big Box as administrator doesn't work either. Not sure what the problem is as my other Launchbox install for NES works fine after updating to 7.5. I did not try re-downloading a fresh Launchbox from the site, though. Could be the clean install I am using has gotten borked over multiple updates. I'll report back if it works, but you said you tried that I think. Edited January 23, 2017 by 8Phantasm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8Phantasm Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 Ok, it seems that was the problem. I re-downloaded a fresh 7.5 launchbox from the site here and it works fine now. I guess the clean LaunchBox install I have been updating somehow corrupted Big Box with the most recent update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krait Rosado Gaming Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Yes I think Clean install fix it! however i am on 7.4 for now. I guess is more stable/faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you say it is more stable and faster? The problem was not the version, just a borked update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krait Rosado Gaming Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Not sure, I am newbee here. I was atonished with 7.4 then i have problems. So maybe is the same speed, but i can remember launching 7.4 took about 5 seconds? then 7.5 like 10 or more seconds. Oh well Jason has released Beta version 7.6 YAY!
