Retro Achievements score is at 0 in LaunchBOX menu

[StMartyne]

It used to show my softcore score. I assume it now just shows a hardcore score only. I don't really want to try hardcore experience, this is just a fun number for me and my wife. 

I kinda want it to show my score like it does on the retro achivements website.

Any suggestions?

This was a Retro Achievements change, there is nothing Launchbox can do about, the Retro achievement people only want legitimate achievements trackable now. You can continue to use the softcore achievements, but it wont ever increase your hardcare number, which is what they want shown.

How are some other launchers like Daijishō, able to show the softscore then?

They have changed their API and send both. We've just opted to match the scoring system they've chose to adopt on their website. We can look into it changing it a bit down the road, but last I knew the softcore score was something they were debating eventually removing. They already don't really support them and so until we know how secure that scoring system was we opted not to change to showing it (or a combination of the two)

I was just wondering why this was the case, and now I know. I really wish we could have softcore scores show in Launchbox. Or at the very least, don't show a big fat zero if you're not in hardcore mode. It's kind of depressing seeing it stuck at zero 😕

I've been playing video games for nearly 5 decades. I'm way past the point of wanting to play games in hardcore mode anymore, unless I really have to of course. I just want to have fun! Getting achievements along the way is a nice perk 🤓

Shown that way because that's how it's set up in RetroAchievements and their API. They don't count softcore in your score and so it doesn't show as such in LaunchBox. I know we've been asked to show it anyway for a while so I'd ASSUME we have a feature request ticket for it you can vote on. If by some weird mishap there isn't you could add it. I know you DEFINATELY aren't the first to voice a similar desire.
