LaunchBox crashes, BigBox doesn't, is it the new default theme?

[CapSwey]

Hi,

I'm on LaunchBox 13.6 for a time now and since today when I start up LaunchBox it's presenting me with a bunch of messages and closes afterwards. I have tried to make a screenshot, but it only shows part of the message. When I want to resize the windows it freezes and closes so fast, that can't see/show the full message. I've added a screenshot below.

BigBox is starting up just fine and no issues so far. The only thing changed since LaunchBox is constantly crashing is that I've upgraded my GPU from nVidia GTX 1050 4GB to a RTX 4060 8GB. Could this be the issue? If you guys have any suggestions, please help this sucker out. 

 

Edit:
After some trial and error I've noticed that the crashing only occures when selecting a game from LaunchBox with the new Default Theme active. Using another theme with LaunchBox and everything works just fine. Normally you can update or reinstall the theme, with this theme you can't unfortunately, at least; I dont know how. I have tried redownloading 13.6 and reinstalled it in the same directory as before, but alas. Just when I was start loving this new default theme. 

 

Cheers for all the help in advance! 😅

I'd need the whole log to be able to tell you for certain but appears that a file we are trying to read is missing. I can't see the stack trace in your picture so can't even begin to guess what file isn't there that should be.

Thanks for your fast reply. 
I can imagine you can't make anything out of the screenshot. The problem is it freezes right away, so I can't see the entire message.
Is there another way to view to content of the popup? That way I can copy/paste the message here.

Edit:

I have enabled debugging and added the log file. Is there anything you guys can make of this?

Is there a proper way to just reinstall the default theme? Can I delete this theme and reinstall LaunchBox in the same folder or is this not recommended?

[C-Beats]

Default theme is overwritten with files on startup so you don't ever NOT have the correct default theme files. You can reinstall any version of LB over the existing without it messing with your data. Just ensure the installer points to the \\LaunchBox\ folder and not \\LaunchBox\LaunchBox when doing so.

Cheers C-Beats!

I've reinstalled LaunchBox and everything is working properly again. I'm still not sure what it was though, but as long as everything is working again I'm a happy man.

Thanks again!
