Launch box won't open

[gareth_iowc]

Hi all, 

My launch box folder is rather large so i've moved it to a network drive.

When i attempt to open launch box it starts loading then disappears.

any ideas?

Try re-installing a previous build which can be found in your \Launchbox\Updates folder.

Launch box will load from a local drive, it won't load from a network drive

Have you checked permissions on the userid used to mount the share?

i have tried setting the share to public and private and it still won't work.

steam will play games out of the same network file share with no problems.

When setting the debug log to true launch box doesn't create a file in the log file.

Found a work around.

1. Rename your current launch box folder so you have a backup.

2. Install a fresh copy of launch box

3. Open Dirlinker and choose your local launch box folder and the destination you would like to copy it to.

 

 

4. Once the copy has completed open launch box to test it will open.

5, Close launch box, Go to your original lunchbox backup folder and copy it's contents over the top of the newly created network folder.

6. open launch box from your desktop shortcut and enjoy.

 

For some reason it still won't load if you navigate directly to the network share but it will working using the symlinked shortcuts
