Lordmonkus Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Try re-installing a previous build which can be found in your \Launchbox\Updates folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth_iowc Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 Launch box will load from a local drive, it won't load from a network drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth_iowc Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) any ideas? other apps installed or copied to the network drive work Edited March 18, 2019 by gareth_iowc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon57 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Have you checked permissions on the userid used to mount the share? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth_iowc Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth_iowc Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 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 https://archive.codeplex.com/?p=dirlinker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
