Mr.Laor Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Has anyone been experiencing this lately? After a little navigation Launchbox freezes on me and I get a "Launchbox Not responding" dialog. It's possible that it's a failing hard drive (has been making some odd sounds). Any help or advice would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help or advice would be appreciated. Havent seen anything myself. Id check the health of the drive, id suggest crystal disk info. As you can see below it shows i have a issue with my D drive (not worried about the data as its a dedicated Xbox gamepass drive), but it may give you a indication as to any upcoming issues.

JHarbinger Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I'm having a similar issue. Started on a brand new drive as well as my previous one. Don't have any answers to solutions as of yet. Just wanted to let you know you weren't alone. Will continue searching for answers and update this thread if I find any solutions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraganator Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I ran into this recently with LaunchBox 11.9 with a very modest library of maybe 10 games. It was left running for about 30 minutes while I went to do something. When I came back it was completely unresponsive, and needed to be killed from task manager. I'll make sure to capture logs if it happens again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Laor Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 I would say that I'm experiencing it more often than every half hour. Closer to every ten minutes while I am editing metadata for games. I have a very large library (60K games). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraganator Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 As it happens, I just hit the problem again. LaunchBox is in a state where the window activates ok (not faded white 'unresponsive'), but nothing is clickable or highlights on mouse over. I was able to close LB from the task bar (right-click -> Close window) so it didn't require killing in task manager. It seems it's still running ok, just not responding to user input. Based on those observations, I'm not sure if it's the exact same as your issue @Mr.Laor (no not responding dialog), but they may be related.

fraganator Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Actually I take back the part about needing to kill it, I just restarted LB and got this message: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHarbinger Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Tried upgrading drivers and updating to latest beta release today with no success. Can not create an error log as it freezes completely. Will continue searching for answers. Been using launchbox for 3 years now and have found it's usually something silly when these things happen. Will figure it out eventually.

Mr.Laor Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share Posted March 24, 2021 This is exactly what is happening to me. I checked my drive. It is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHarbinger Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Turning the video off in the preview pane has been a great temporary solution. Please see below thread for details.

KingSlayer937 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I've been having this problem for quite some time....pretty sure ive narrowed it down to a VLC problem on my end. I will get hang and have to close out of launchbox, usually after editing a game or as OP said just doing some speedy navigation. At first disabling the auto play of videos seemed to fix it, but with the last few updates it no longer was a temp fix for me, changing it to Windows Media Player as default video app seemed to have fixed it for me for now. Havent had a hang or "not responding" for like 6 days now. Used to get several a day. Hopefully it gets sorted out at some point... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHarbinger Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Thanks for the tip. Will try changing to Windows Media Player instead of disabling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunnieboy Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 (edited) I have installed windows 10 on my deck , and am running launchbox, it freezes during game config. Also ... since there is no way to bring up a virtual keyboard ... i am questioning the practicality of running launchbox on windows on the deck. Once inside DOS ... unless you use an external keyboard ... i cant think of a way to make this practical. I have installed windows externally via WindowsToGo on an external SSD drive. Pretty bummed as I can see no way to make this an enjoyable experience. lol. Also : The decks resolution is very low ... so I think you have to mess with the .conf files to get it to size right. Also .. for the controller and keyboard ..i am going to try this solution ... Edited December 15, 2022 by Dunnieboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
