I don't understand that....Defiantly not showing up for me, without doubt. I just checked again under all games. It's just not there? Any other idea??? I really don't understand why this keeps happening and why when I reinstalled an official version before it fixed the problem, but the official version no longer fixes it since I reinstalled windows....

I am honestly at a loss for ideas now, as you can see it shows just fine on my system, in fact i just scraped it and closed then re-opened launchbox and it is still there. I can only assume it is specific to your system somehow, and that will be a absolute pain in the arse to try and troubleshoot unfortunately.

Robin55 Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 The weird thing is the game shows up in BigBox....Just checked twice and its there....This is damn annoying anyway thanks for your time neil9000, I'm going to do a few installs and updates and see if it fixes the problem.

Actually that narrows it down a bit, if it is showing in bigbox but not launchbox then i would expect it to be a launchbox setting somewhere. I can't think of a specific one off the top of my head, but it's in the .xml and it's in bigbox so it imported just fine, just launchbox isn't displaying it for some reason. I'll have a dig around in the options and see if i can turn anything up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin55 Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 OK, Thanks man. I will too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Just a thought but you could try deleting the settings.xml in your data folder? Copy it somewhere else as a backup, then close launchbox and delete the file and re-open launchbox and see if if it shows. If not just delete the new settings.xml and copy your old one back.

Robin55 Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 Still doesn't make a difference. It adds the game like a new game not detecting the old one in the xml. but as soon as I shut down LaunchBox and reopen, the game is gone again.

neil9000 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 The only other thing i can think of is to simply delete that game from the xml (while launchbox is closed of course) then re-importing it. I'm afraid i'm really stretching for solutions at this point though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgarath Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I'm not sure why it would make a difference but try replacing your PC Games.xml with this modified copy and see if it makes a difference. PC Games.xml 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belgarath Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Looks like there's funky stuff going on with the emulator part (which of course should be blank as a Windows game wouldn't be using an emulator) why that would stop it appearing though I don't know as I dropped the xml into my folder like you did neil and it still showed up. But at this point anything is worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil9000 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Also just a thought, you say that it appears just fine in Bigbox, does it actually launch when you select it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know if you have any other issues, i'm sorta guessing this is somewhat rocket launcher related as i assume you are using that as a emulator in launchbox for your pc games? so maybe it's auto assigning the emulator when its probably not needed if launching through rocket launcher. Quite why that would make the game not appear though is still a bit of a mystery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin55 Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 Yes I am using Rocketlauncher just for one or two, I'll go through Rocketlauncher and see if their is anything I should delete since I moved from Hyperspin.. I'll update to the latest Beta and let you guys know how I got on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin55 Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 Ok so I re-added my games that were missing and updated to the latest beta and removed all old settings I had for PC games in Rocketlauncher and everything is back running fine so far. Really happy to get this problem sorted it had popped up a few times and I'd given permission to folders etc etc with no luck. So thanks everyone for helping getting this sorted! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
