BigBox lag throughout

[isaac8849]

Throughout the entirety of BigBox, I have slow and stuttery performance, and all the transitions are choppy.  My usage is practically nothing and I have a very good pc. Any ideas? on version 11.12

You experiencing this in the default theme, or are you using a different theme?

Hi, thanks for the reply, but the people on the subreddit helped me fix it, the main lag and stutter was do freesync, then it was also slighty better after turning off all settings in video menu. My issue was on any theme, but I'm currenty using Pulse which I like a lot

Any chance you can elaborate on how you fixed this issue? I am also experiencing soul crushing lag in Big Box with an i9-9900k and a 3080ti running off an nvme drive. Everything was working fine on this setup until a couple of months ago and then it all went to crap. I thought I'd come back after the new release and with my new GPU and see if I faired any better, but nope.

If you are talking about the animations not feeling smooth you can try to increase the refresh rate in Big Box options and this will make animations fire layout updates more often which could potentially help (assuming your CPU can keep up with the increased calculation requirements)

My frame rate in Big Box was set to 60hz (My tv is capable of 120hz btw). I set it to 120hz and restarted Big Box and everything is exactly the same as before. The background animations on any theme look like they are running at about 5 fps and trying to flip through games in any cover flow based view takes about 3 seconds per game. I only have 1 system imported with about 190 games btw. I'm about ready to just reinstall Windows at this point.

Search the forum, there are many people who have similar problems. Certain programs apparently cause issues with Launchbox, such as MSI Afterburner or other MSI products. Realtek software such as Nahimic are also named frequently. Certain USB devices apparently also can cause lag, so you could unplug all USB devices you have and then test if the lags go away.

So, I've disabled all 3rd party services mentioned, including MSI Afterburner & MalwareBytes. I've disconnected all 3 external usb drives. I've ran chkdisk and found no issues with the nvme that Big Box is installed to. I've read many threads about this issue and have implemented all their suggestions and still have the same performance issues.

I was just curious if you were ever able to resolve this?  I am having the same issue.  Everything worked perfect, I left system on for a day came home and the lag/stuttering started.  Any insight is appreciated.

same issue here can seem to be able to figure out what could be causing this issue.

This is still an issue.  I've looked through multiple topics and every single one is dead-ended without any resolution.  Navigating through bigbox has noticeable lag and stuttering no matter what theme I'm using.
