I noticed again last night something that i have mentioned before, my attract mode enters a platform and stays there permanently, and yes i do have the option on for going in and out of platforms. Yes, mine works properly. I don't have that issue with my collection, but I am aware of it. I believe it has to do with having a lot of different themes for your various platforms. It's on my list to look into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah OK then, yeah that makes perfect sense, (i should of really have thought about that myself). I am using Unified Refried with the different themes per platform. Thanks for the info as always Jason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is by design. If you're "launching" videos, my recommendation would be to not put them in the LaunchBox media folders, and keep them somewhere else. Good to know..and yes I did in fact have them in the LaunchBox Video Folder after all. I kinda wanted to import titles of my physical games..but just in case someone was to click it they'd get a Startup Video to the Platform it was for until I can arrange something better that can play these physical copies. I have for now set my Physical PS2 games to just open PCSX2 so I can play from the Disc, and I have my XBOX, XBOX 360, and XBOX One stuff that can be played on XBOX One set to open the XBOX App thanks to @DOS76, and then my Physical Dreamcast stuff open to Demul to be played on Disc, but everything else that can't is gonna be set as an Intro Video 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ea4492 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) Yeah after installing the new beta, the retrotastic theme that i currently use, needs to be updated since it broke it and i get Systemview and platformwheelfiltersview error, and maybe other themes that i have that i haven't tested yet. Or maybe im doing something wrong, LOL. Edited January 29, 2019 by ea4492 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check the retrotastic theme to see if it might be the same issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Carr Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 Third time's the charm. Beta 7 is out with a fix for upgrading some themes that weren't upgrading properly (Fundamental and Retrotastic are the two that I'm aware of). Unfortunately, if you downloaded either beta 5 or 6 and started up Big Box, and are getting XAML errors with those themes, you may need to re-download them from here on the forums in order to get it fixed. Let me know if anyone sees any additional issues with any other themes. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RULLUR Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Wow! Well after all the latest Betas I can hopefully not come across this as much or at all anymore after an Edit. This was Beta 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RULLUR Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 That wasn't from the latest Beta..just 9.4 Beta 4. I originally came in to mention the issue..but I'm glad to come in and find newer Betas are out that I can hope will lessen the lag and crash with the latest news on performance though. I'll of course let you know if it gets any better or not once I get around to testing. I'm Installing the latest Beta now as I type this up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALIE Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) @Jason CarrHate being the barear of bad news. But the latest Bata made Launchbox completely useless it lags like it has never done not even on my old PC. It's not just videos but scrolling, picking menus, going back, and the image cache doesn't seem to work I can force populate it over and over. Hope the video isn't too bad I suck at filming while I using the keyboard apperantly ??

ALIE Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) And I just saw task manager was saying Big Box was using 95% CPU from a Intel Core i7-7700 Kaby Lake. Edited January 30, 2019 by ALIE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
