I Cannot Re-Import One Particular Steam Game To My Launchbox Library Using The Import Games From Steam Wizard.

[Apolonio C. Romero]

I've got myself a big cluster-cuss that I need help with. Recently I've purchased a new game on Steam, that particular game is Gubble (a.k.a. Gubble Classic). Here the Steam product page for that game:  https://store.steampowered.com/app/1090920/Gubble/

 

Now, you know, after downloading and installing the game inside the Steam desktop client, I then tried adding it to my Launchbox game library using the Import Games From Steam Wizard (since I'm OCD and prefer exclusively adding my Steam games that one particular way). Everything went fine, the game even showed up on the Ready To Import games list page, until Launchbox tried putting the game in my library. At the bottom left of the screen I think it said "0 Games Imported, 1 Game Updated or Fixed". Like a dumbass, I thought it was good idea to add multiple versions of the same game without providing alternate names for them beforehand. Here is the list of all the games that were part of my Gubble Launchbox library after I tried importing the game:

 

Gubble: HD Anniversary Edition*

Gubble (Steam)**

Gubble (Playstation) (LaunchBox DB ID #13235)***

Gubble 2 (LaunchBox DB ID #208906)

Gubble Buggy Racer (LaunchBox DB ID #175103)

 

Another bad choice was I also decided to permanently delete the screwed up Steam Gubble game that I've already had in my library. Now, whenever I try to re-import the Gubble Steam game with the Import Games From Steam Wizard, the title never shows up in the Ready To Import list. I uninstalled and re-installed the game twice in the Steam desktop client and even deleted Gubble: HD Anniversary Edition and Gubble for the Playstation from my Launchbox library and nothing worked. Please help..

...and by the way I only want add the Gubble Steam game using the Import Games From Steam Wizard.

 

 

 

 

 

*That game is just the old DRM-free version of the Steam Gubble that you had to go to the game developer's website gubble.com. Here the link to the old website, that I believe still sold that old version of the game, brought to you by The Wayback Machine:  https://web.archive.org/web/20080509194624/http://www.gubble.com/  Also, by the way, that version of the game also wasn't part of Launchbox's Game Database. So I added it to my library anyway, with or without a LB DB ID and without having the game installed on my computer.

 

**I thought it was a good idea to add the Steam version of the game to library without owning the game on my Steam account or without a Launchbox Data Base ID number.

 

***Even though this version of the game was for the PlayStation, and NOT Windows, I still decided to simply name it Gubble without adding alternate names in the metadata.

Typically the message you see is because the game is added as an additional app. You'd want to check your games for multiple versions and see which it got put under. Alternatively you can check the "Force Import Duplicate Games" and it should add the game as it's own entry.

Hey, sorry for responding late. I can't exactly remember what the message said, but I think it was something along the lines of that. In the Import Games From Steam Wizard, I had "Search For Game Information In Local Metadata Database" and "Force Importing Duplicate Games" checked and it still didn't show up in the "Ready To Import" page.

Also I checked Launchbox's metadata database and the PC nor Steam version of Gubble was there.
