Jason Carr Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 21 hours ago, exodus_cl said: Yes, the screen is vertical 16:9, but to give it a more 4:3 feel, the sides are hidden inside the cab (that's why it looks kind of a square) so the real resolution is 768x1024, but the visible part is 768px wide x 800px height. More pictures to show you the custom theme and usable size of the screen (i'm dumb I know, I should have done this the first time): I see. What theme are you using to get around that problem? Is it a custom one you've built yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOG 2.0 is loosing its one allure curious not sure how they pull it but they just added a subscription. could be neat to have that in LB as well... So I've heard. Not sure if the LaunchBox community commonly uses those services or not. They're not my cup of tea, but maybe I'm not typical there. We might look to add something similar eventually if it becomes a common request. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I selected Genesis after doing the screenshot, and all seems fine Usually this happens when things fall behind, and it eventually will update with the correct view. Could be something I haven't seen before though. But unless I can replicate it, I can't really do anything to improve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly use it for one, i mean £3.99 a month for all those free games as well as Microsoft exclusives on day one is a no brainer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewClassics Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Thanks LB team, Origin games are importing well now for me. On a side note, is there a way to have it so that the Origin Client doesn't stay open when you exit the game? I notice that when I quit an Origin game, my Origin page is open and I need to close it in order to get back to BB. I've left the option unchecked to Launch game with Origin Client in options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 PC gamepass is sorta a big deal for me to easily import. GOG handles it real well, but id rather just have everything in Launchbox. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
code88 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) I've found a small visual glitch in the name of the games of the new theme. This has been here since the theme was released but I was waiting until having time to test it in a clean install. I attached the images that show how some labels are correctly rendered (Cruis'n USA) but others look blurred (Top Gear). I also added a zoomed image with both texts side by side so you can easily see the differences. This difference in rendering seems to depend on the row.

I changed no settings so something is no longer respecting my preferences (I use a platform specific image behind all games - which is pulled from Images\Platforms\PlatformName\Fanart) which until today has been working just fine (my theme is ModernMini)... On my front room system which is locked to non-beta releases, so is on 10.14, it works just fine... Any suggestions? sTeVE I too had Front Box art end up as Background art, and I thought it was some error that happened while I was downloading some metadata media for Primal Rage and at random the Beta pop-up froze it to where I had to force it all to close, but seems I'm not the only one who had this happen. Had to go in an rearrange the Background priorities all over again, and I think I had to do that with some other stuff, but the Backgrounds for sure had to be fixed back.

Yes, I did a custom theme, you can see the yellow outline that shows the actual screen space that's vailable for viewing, in mame I use .lay files to adjust the horizontal and vertical games to fit nicely with some artwork to fill the empty spaces. The idea was to have more space available for vertical games and it works wonders. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The slight oddity was I went in removed all the background image types and all good, then on reboot they were all selected again - so had to deselect twice. Updated my second system and had the same issue, needed to do it twice to stick... Thankfully now all good, and I am once again serenely enjoying Launchbox! 11 hours ago, neil9000 said: PC gamepass is sorta a big deal for me to easily import.

I too use Game Pass and just create windows shortcuts to the games and import those - works like a champ, admittedly it is manual though - I guess you are using the same process? sTeVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i have used that method in the past, but it is quite tedious, having to go to the apps folder and create a shortcut on the desktop of every game you want to import. I dont currently have any of my gamepass games imported though as i recently setup my Launchbox from scratch again, and couldnt be bothered with it so i just start them from the Gamepass app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my problem isn't so much the blur. I have the background set to a custom image, and yet when I select a game, it's changing to the box image. That's new behavior and I can't figure out how to turn it off. Tools > Options > Legacy > Images > Background Priorities Ensure nothing is ticked for your custom images to load during startup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcfilmmakers Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Any chance we can see a tiny QOL feature added: You can select/deselect multiple files from the Clean Up Media tool. It's either all or nothing and when you have thousands of results and only want to select half.... (just the Duplicates or just the File not in use), you can't do that without individually selecting each of the thousands of results... which makes the tool impractical. \ Just a tiny request that shouldn't be hard to do.. if time permits of course. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 37 minutes ago, Pixel said: When idle in the background, yes, but when I click and browse it can get from 2 to 2,5 GB. Also, just after launching the app. I closed it, but it still remained in the task manager for a long time. I had to manually close it. Generally, it's worst after launching. Then, it's better. But it definatley has high peaks to 2,5 GB. It can drop to 1,9GB when I do nothing. And record: That's about normal for what I have seen for a while now. Mine ranges anywhere from 1.5-2.5 depending on what I am doing in LB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
