If it isn't recreating the file that is not normal. I would try installing LB to a new folder then copy of your data folder and start the program if it shows your games then close it and copy over your images manuals videos and other relevant folders. Well, yeah that would make sense wouldn't it....LOL. My bad. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrogamer Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 Can I ask something? Does the Settings xml file in the data folder get recreated by Launchbox if deleted if you restart Launchbox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that is what we have been saying all along, if it's missing at launch a new default is created. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrogamer Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 I just tried relaunching Launchbox without the settings xml file in the data folder in launchbox and it didnt recreate it. I don't know what to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrogamer Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 Launchbox is not creating a new settings xml in data folder when being deleted and restarting Launchbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a completely different folder can you download a fresh install of Launchbox? If you have not tried that yet, would you give that a try and report back. You may have something worse going on than a corrupt xml file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are either 1, not doing what you are told. or 2, being a massive tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
