cleverest Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Anyone else see this? When I EDIT any game and click the drop-down arrow next to publisher or manufacturer (all others work fine!), instead of giving me a list, LB gets a spinning circle and then locks up not responding, forcing me to END TASK the entire program. Using 8.1 non-beta, with Windows 10, but recall it happening also at least in the last version. Anyways, how can I can repair these databases so they load properly? Thanks.

DOS76 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I just tested in Windows 10 and I did see that all other fields drop down opens instantly while those 2 take longer to open but they don't freeze the program on me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleverest Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 Thanks....Any way to delete or reset those to defaults? I have not made any manual changes to those fields that I can recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 You could probably open the platform specific xml with Notepad++ and find and replace the value there with what ever it needs for a blank one. I'll looking into it and see what you would have to type to find it and what a blank on should look like to replace it since its a bunch of different possible names you would probably have to run it multiple times. To be honest it would probably be a pain in the ass you may just want to wait and not mess with those settings until you can see if the behavior stops in a later release. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Okay so an empty one will look like this <Publisher /> a full one will look like this <Publisher>Capcom</Publisher> the easiest thing that I know how to do would be to type <Publisher into the find box and then use find next and it will switch to each one you would then edit one with a value filled in from the example with Capcom to look like the empty example so depending on the platform and how many games it has with a value filled in could be a lot of manual work. Now if you knew which publishers where used you could find <Publisher>PubName</Publisher> and then replace it with <Publisher /> to clear it out. Then it would just be a case of rinse and repeat for all the Publishers and of course it would work with the same structure for the Manufacturers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cupidstunt Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Did you get to the bottom of this ? I am also having this issue, however it seems to be affecting all platforms, including ones that havent been modified for a long time. Maybe a coincindence but I have only noticed this issue since upgrading to 9.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just avoid clicking it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
