Game matches the wrong DB entry


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I've been trying to get my Launchbox up and running on a new PC. It worked very well on the old one, but on my new PC some games from Steam get matched with weird entries that are half empty. I've tried to manually reselct the match, but there's only one showing up. For example: I'm trying to match Assasins Creed Brotherhood. It always matches with this Which is missing information and images. I want to match it with this which has the missing stuff from the first link. But it won't show up in the drop down. Only the first one. Any ideas how to fix this?

The way Steam matching works is the app only matches Steam games to DB records that have that Steam ID associated to them. To get around this logic you can do the following steps:

Edit the game in question
In the Edit Game window go to the Launching page
Cut (CTRL+X) the value in the Application Path text box
Go to the General page
Use the Search for Metadata button to search the DB, then select the record you want to use
Go back to the Launching page and paste the value back into the Application Path that was there before
Save the changes
