faeran Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 Beta 5 is out with the following: Improvement: Steam game matching has been significantly improved to reduce any chance for false matches Improvement: Polish and tweaks to the new default theme Fixed: Potential issue in Big Box where it could not regain focus in some situations on touchscreen devices (such as the ROG Ally) We have also identified a bug with the new notifications interfering with LaunchBox updates (in certain situations) which will get addressed tomorrow. If you find yourself in this situation, a workaround is to click the download link on the notification within the notification center (and not while it's floating in the bottom-right corner). The theme you are using must support the notification bell/center. Another workaround is to load up Big Box to run the update. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobaturtle Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Playlist fanart issue is fixed! New default theme is so nice! Also, images seem to load faster recently in LBThemes. Thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHazard Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 (edited) When I try to update to the new beta, The Launchbox update progress bar disappears and the program locks up. Is there a download link to the beta I can try instead? So the crash happens when using the Big Details theme. Switching to the new default theme fixed the issue and allowed the update.

Drybonz Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 (edited) I'm able to get the installation to download using the notification link (as mentioned, above), but the installation is stuck trying to close the running LB process and won't install. I tried closing it manually in the task manager, but it doesn't seem to work... have to cancel the installation. *edit* Ok, I got it installed. It was running as a background process, taking up a ton of memory... so killed that then used the update file that downloaded to the "updates" folder to install.

The Papaw Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I'm getting this when trying to install beta 6. Went back to beta 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faeran Posted July 21, 2023 Author Share Posted July 21, 2023 Beta 6 is out with the following: Improvement: New user automated import notification will now wait for a user action Improvement: The GOG Uninstall monitoring process is now more accurate Improvement: Various changes to the Default theme Fixed: Prompts tied to notifications disappearing when the notification was removed from tray Fixed: Scroll wheel logic in the Default theme's Game Details panel has been fine tuned For users that had issues updating last beta, you will still need to use your workaround one more time, but it will be the last, as the fix comes with this update. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Papaw Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Thanks @faeran. It messed up LB apparently after I cancelled and it rolled back, it wouldn't start. Restored back from another copy of beta 2 and it worked, so must have been bad download. Thank ya Sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Severn Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 (edited) Updated a few hours again, having installation and rollback problems. Sadly I wasted my evening on this. I'm backing things up and will create a clean install tomorrow morning. Edited July 21, 2023 by Jonny Severn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drybonz Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 On the new default theme, is it possible to disable the "hover" titles on the box front art (I think it's called the box content view)? I already have the title showing under the box art, so it seems redundant, and looks a bit cluttered. I wasn't sure if there was an existing option for that. Thanks.

spycat Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I just updated from 13.5 official to 13.6 beta 6 with no issues. However, in the LaunchBox Themes Manager I can only see the Default and Old Default themes, and not Default, Old Default and Old Default (Legacy) as mentioned in the update splash window.

SqHd Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Looking good! One thing I noticed with the new default theme; when in list view none of the arrange by filters work. In image view, they filter correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypha13 Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 i'm on 13.5, but maybe check to see if this issue can be replicated / fixed? Stacking games will at times hide achievement badges, eg if the stack has a Beta in it, very common in Gen 4 consoles collections etc, Base's and reversions and betas and protos. A Greyed trophy to illustrate achievements are available if you pick the right rom one, and some kind of indicator of which the right one is the right one could be a big help, maybe as well as a red one to show that achievements are available for the game at hand, just not with any of the roms provided in that particular titles grouping. could have been somewhere better to put this, i'm sorry i couldn't find it in the time i had. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
