It could be that you have one of the "Hide games missing.......media" boxes checked under the view dropdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil9000 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 You have two of the same threads, i have deleted the other one. As i said, Launchbox NEVER just removes games from your library, did you look at what i said above? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Launchbox needs to write the files when you close it, so you are not allowing it to write to the Playstation 2.xml file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just went into task manager and ended the task, that is not how you should close any program, its there to close programs that have hung/crashed. Just rebooting your PC while Launchbox is open is the same thing its not a safe exit, you are simply just killing the program. Launchbox needs to write the games that you added to the .xml file, but it can not do this while the file is in use, which it is the whole time that Launchbox is open. So it writes the new information to the correct files when you close Launchbox via the normal method of clicking the X in the top right corner.

Probably not the most polite way to get a dev or others to help you. Telling him he “screwed up”. Have you tried to reinstall the last version it worked on and see if the issue goes away.

The thing though is it is not clear it is the latest update. Nothing you have provided shows it is a bug in the latest release because you have provided no troubleshooting background. You have not even tried to reinstall the last working version to confirm. So making a blanket statement it is the fault of the developer is unwarranted. So far you are the only person having this issue. Not saying it may not be a bug, but troubleshoot first before claiming the developer “screwed up”. Two things I recommend. 1) Reinstall the last version and let us know. 2) Run a sfc /scannow to see if windows finds any issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro808 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Reinstalled what? The same version or prior working version. It helps to clearly state what was done. Did you check anything else? Shutdown all other programs to make sure something else is not interfering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My advice was to reinstall that last version that was working. That way we can see if the issue goes away. So, again, I recommend going into your updates folder and finding the installer for the version before this one and run it. It will not erase any data. Then test the game imports. 41 minutes ago, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhwyanwunt said: i wouldnt have any other program which i wouldnt normally have on none of which ever caused this That still does not discount something causing an issue. We are trying to help so some help in return is needed. Close down all programs not needed for Launchbox and test the game import. What drive is Launchbox located on? Are you running as admin by chance? @DOS76 mentioned there could be a permissions issue. Have you recently changed anything besides downloading the new update?
