iahawks Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Since I updated to 13.14 Launchbox is crashing for me and will not open. Anyone else? Value cannot be null.

C-Beats Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 The error would indicate something is happening with your Automated ROM imports. To work around this error do the following: 1) Close LaunchBox if open 2) Navigate to \\LaunchBox\Data\Settings.xml and open it in a text editor 3) Find the following tag <EnableRomAutoImports> and make sure that line reads "<EnableRomAutoImports>false</EnableRomAutoImports>" (without quotes) 4) Save and close the file 5) Reopen LaunchBox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changed to "false" saved and LaunchBox started fine. Thank you for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iahawks Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 But now I am getting the following error when I try to audit my games: Root element is missing.

C-Beats Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Ah, would explain the other one as well. Your local GamesDB xml file is corrupt. Go to Tools > Download > Force Update Games Database (or something similar). Let that run and it should resolve the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iahawks Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 That did it! Also fixed issues I was having with retrieving media. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheels populate then freezes. Have to restart then everything is good. Does it on average 1 in 10 times. Also, is there a fix for attraction mode freezing after a couple of hours in use?

Updating that file would only help with DB related activities. The ones you are mentioning don't interact with the DB at all. Are you seeing your reported issues on ANY theme? I'd try Default theme and see if the problem persists there, if it doesn't then it's probably a theme related issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
