thimolor Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Hi, I'm experiencing slow and choppy wheel animations with the new BigBox Version 11.10. Does anyone else have this problem? Tested with multiple themes. Where can I download older LB versions to test if this problem is caused by the new version or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have older versions of Launchbox in your Launchbox/Updates folder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thimolor Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 Ok, just tested with 11.9. and the wheel action was a lot smoother even when additional images where loaded during selection. So there might be a performance issue in the new version or the themes made with Community Theme Creator Tool are broken somehow? Strange that nobody else is experiencing this.

C-Beats Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Are you experiencing it in the Default theme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Its worth noting that the CTC doesnt support any of the new features as of yet, so in theory that shouldnt effect anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. The slowdowns happen mostly in wheels that use box art or custom images. The wheel animation is different than before. I think in the older version there was more easing? UPDATE, I just experienced slowdown with the older LB version also, so there might be issue with my system. Need to do some spring cleaning.

thimolor Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 I'm afraid I have to report back here and confirm that the performance is worse in the new LB version. I just did a clean windows 10 install and tested with both 11.9 and 11.10. 11.9 was better and the wheel action was a lot smoother. 11.10 was choppy for my system at least (Ryzen 3700x, 16 gb ram, Radeon Vega 64) I will upload comparison videos tomorrow.

Is there a theme you are seeing it with more? And also can you confirm whether the issue occurs in default theme or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During some intensive testing I found out that horizontal wheels are choppy when loading big images like box art (these can be 3 mb in size). Default theme works fine and does not use horizontal wheels, so this might be a performance issue in the Community Theme Creator Tool @y2guru? Vertical wheels worked fine in all themes when loading big images after wheel selection, so it's a bit confusing. I did some more testing between LB versions 11.9 and 11.10, and there is literally no difference in performance. 11.9 seems to perform a little better, but I don't know if it's just the smoother wheel transitions in the 11.9 version. Tested with dirtyOld, CityHunter 2 and my upcoming new theme Pulse. FINAL UPDATE Ok, I did clean install on LauchBox on a bigger drive with more space. No more slowdown. Problem solved.
