dnbreloaded Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) I have launchbox at pretty much default settings so the games are sorted alphabetically. Everything was working fine for me until I deleted my arcade platform, which had like 3000 games in it. Before I did that changing platforms happened instantly, after deleting that huge platform it now takes several seconds to change platform. Is there a way I can reset launchbox? I would be happy to add all my games again if I can fix this lag! Edit: I should also add I've left launchbox to cache for like 2 days and scrolled through to make sure the images have cached.

Lordmonkus Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 Try setting all the transition effects to none and if you are using Windows 10 disable fullscreen optimization, instructions on how to do that are in the first post of this thread. I have over 11,000 games in my setup and it runs butter smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnbreloaded Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Thanks, how do I change the transition effects for launchbox? I can't find them in the options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnbreloaded Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Thanks though, that's useful to know I'm going to disable the transition effects just like I do on Android lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Yeah I have all my transitions off in Bigbox also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 I have mine off for personal aesthetic preference reasons though, not for performance reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmonkus Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 But it certainly can help performance, on my low end HTPC transition effects really hurt it but turning them off makes it run very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machello Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) I think I found something why themes may not working properly (in some cases). At least I hope . I use a gaming laptop (2013) for my LB/BB setup. Specs: Windows 10 home Intel Core i7-4700MQ @ 2.4 Ghz 8 gigs ram GTX 765M 1 tb 5400 RPM laptop disk 2500 games I also own an arcade cab with a much older pc (2010). Specs: Windows 10 home Intel Core i5 750 @ 2.667 Ghz 4 gigs ram Asus EAH5850 1 tb samsung spinpoint 2500 games (same setup) In this example I use Critical Zone V2 BlueBox BackgroundFanart Only theme. It's runs very very smooth on my arcade cab. On my (much better) this theme is having problems when the video's kick in. For example: I have 3 categories in Platform categories: Consoles, Handhelds and Playlists. Playlist does not have a video, the other 2 do. When I am at playlist and switch to one of the other, everything is smooth like butter. But when I'm on Consoles / Handhelds and the Video is playing, BB is becoming slower. I added a demo video for demonstration (hope it's good to view) BigBox Example Now for the issue: A collegue of mine suggested that BigBox is using the internal laptop graphic card (Intel HD graphics 4600) in stead of my GTX 765M. He said I had to disable the internal card so BigBox will always use the GTX card. I don't have a BIOS option to disable my internal graphic card so I disabled it in device manager.... I had good hopes this would solve it, but in stead of seeing smooth BB it became even more slow... Now for my question: Is it possible that BB somehow has issues with internal graphical cards? It looks like it don't uses my GFX card... Edited November 9, 2017 by Machello Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGH Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 HELP BIGBOX IS SLOW SCROLLING THROUGH GAMES AND SYSTEMS. My system is well above what is needed to run bigbox and I only have around 200 games. i5 6600k 24GB OF DDR4 RAM and a AMD FirePro W5000 which is equivalent to a GTX 960. 4GB of ram is allocated to BigBox.

Styphelus Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 My Bigbox now takes forever to start. It used to play the startup video and start right after. Now, the startup video will play and the screen will stay black for another 20 secs before Bigbox loads. I'm assuming this was due to one of the latest updates. I haven't added any new systems in the last few months. . It used to load while the video played but now it seems to just wait for the video to play and then it proceeds to load. Anyone else experiencing something similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 If this is with a beta release post it under the beta release thread, if not then make a new post about it where it will be more likely to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coleman Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Yeah - same issue here. I have not added systems/games in several months since I know this will just make it worse. Really I don't even mess with BigBox anymore since it's almost unusable. I've decided to instead focus my OCD on gething the systems I do have loaded setup with 100% playability and metadata. Maybe someday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someday... As I thinkle about this, maybe it makes sense to add a function that is a toggle switch for weather or not to load a game into BigBox this may make it somewhat more manageable as Jason continues to work on "various performance enhancements". This would allow me to "collect" from a completion stand point, but also allow me to have an eye candy setup that is functioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 Again, if this is with a beta release post any performance related issues in the beta release thread. If this is the latest stable release you should look into possible changes and problems with your system because the stable has been out for a while now with no reported problems with performance. I am also now locking this thread once again since it is not meant for a troubleshooting thread, it is more a guide to help people improve performance which is what the first post in this thread is.
