blackstar1 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Hi, has anyone the same problems like me? The Big Box Mode crashed after the new Windows 10 Creators Update. What can I do now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 How is it crashing though? Is that all it's doing? @DOS76 has been on the early version of that update for a while on some of his systems, so he might know better than I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOS76 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I just tested it with LB 7.8 stable version and 7.9 beta 4 and both LB and BB working in the latest fast ring preview here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 As dumb as this sounds, have you restarted since the update? I would also like you to try install LaunchBox over the install you currently have and then restart. If you go in to ../LaunchBox/Updates/, and sort this folder by date, double click the newest exe here and install that on top of your current install. Nothing will change, but everything related to LB will be refreshed. It might even be a good idea to try and repair or re-install .Net (the latest) too. The installer normally would, but if it already things it's installed (regardless of it's broken or not), then it wont try and install it. You can grab .net from here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi SentaiBrad, unfortunately to install the EXE file in the "Updates" folder brought no change. Also I can't install .Net because Windows 10 says it's already installed.

DOS76 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I doubt you will find many Windows beta testers around here as far as I know I'm the only other one and like I said I'm not having any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MazJohn [Mr Arcade] Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) EDIT: I initially had a corrupt NVIDIA driver install that was causing problems but it wound up having nothing to do with Launch-box or Windows 10 Creators build. re-installing the NVIDIA driver again seems to have resolved the issue. I stand by my below comment, Will update this post if anything changes. Seems like the creators build 1703 works just fine with Launch-box. The framerates actually seems better with this new build _________ Original comment; Im running Launchbox with the final windows 10 creators build 1703. I have not experienced any issues at all running a heavily populated Launchbox. Xbox 1 controllers seem to be working fine so far as well. Windows does prompt that it is adding back Xbox and other input device driver support after updating. Thankfully, all seems to be running well. The system seems a little faster and frame rates are the same if not better in most cases here. I'm running Launchbox on the latest beta which at the time of this writing is v7.9b7.

SentaiBrad Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Beta's don't make you lose anything. It is a beta, so something might happen, you should make a backup of your LaunchBox/Data folder at the very least if you're worried, but nothing bad should really happen. Enable the beta check box in the LB options and restart LB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SentaiBrad Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I don't think it has anything to do with LaunchBox honestly. Another thread in here said something about their drivers being bad, and at first I thought that updating drivers or codecs wouldn't help, but maybe updating drivers would. I use IOBit Driver Booster for all my drivers, and it's phenomenal. I would try that, and if your graphics drivers don't get updated re-install them just in case. As well as the .Net Framework stuff, Uninstalling it, restarting and re-installing it would be best. It not installing right because it's already installed is something it does and I forgot.

I try everything, I updated all drivers with "Driver Booster" , I updated my graphics card and re-install the drivers, I re-install .NET Framework. It was all useless. BigBox crashed every time.

SentaiBrad Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 All you do is go in to your ../LaunchBox/Updates folder, sort it by date, and double click the newest exe from the list. Pick your LB location and install on top of it. Everything will remain intact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SentaiBrad Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I honestly don't. I forwarded this to Jason though to see if he has any idea himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I know this isn't really all that helpful but over the last two days I've updated 14 computers (in ever size and form you can think of) to Creators Update and I've tested LB/BB on at least 8 of them so far without any issues so it is machine specific in your case. Have you tried installing LB to another folder and seeing if it works okay from a fresh install Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
