Retroarch cores always automatically download + changes are barely saved

[clydemystik325]

For a couple months now I've always had this issue where everytime I try to import games for certain platforms, it will always ask to download Retroarch cores even when I'm using a standalone emulator and NOT Retroarch. However, even if I uncheck the box for that option, it will still always automatically download the cores regardless, and I always have to close out of Launchbox in order to stop the process when the games are fully imported. Also, at certain times if I close out of Launchbox after these instances, my changes will almost never be saved.

Is there a way for me to fix any of this at all?

Hi @clydemystik325, can you be more specific about the exactly what you've attempted. We'd love an example of the exact platform, games, and the method you are using to import the games. 

Screenshots can also help clarify exactly what you are seeing.

I also have this problem.  If I wait long enough, the cores download task finishes, and I can continue to import.  But it's a long annoying wait 1-3 minutes

We did manage to recreate the issue and we'll have a fix for it in an upcoming beta.
