Launchbox 13.17 - High CPU Usage, Slow Boot Times, and Sluggish Speeds


Wally

Recommended Posts

Here is a video of my Task Manager while loading Launchbox.

The CPU is used by different Launchbox processes for at least 1.5 minute after Launchbox has loaded!

I am a registered user.

Please help me get into the bottom of this because this thing is now unusable.

Log is attached.

This is the second attempt to load it so that no chance of things being updated exists.

I have another thread waiting reply which may be related (?)

Hello my friends. As we all know, updates and new features are constantly being released for launchbox. However, as far as I can see, launchbox and bigbox have started to slow down a lot in both opening speeds and system-game navigation. Each new feature comes up with even slower boot and navigation times. For example, while the old launchbox versions opened in 3 seconds, the new versions can take up to 1 minute. For this reason, I am looking for ways to speed up the system. I will need a lot of support such as faster menu transitions, faster video playback and boot speeds, faster startup of the game or emulator. If anyone has tried all these improvements and speedups and got results, can you write us these settings here?

In another thread I already described some problems I experience with LaunchBox, but I take the opportunity of this discussion to share a difficulty with BigBox in the latest versions. Initially, BigBox works perfectly and the framerate is smooth, but after starting one or two games and going back to the frontend, I notice that it is as if it loses a lot of fluidity: the framerate seems to drop, going from 60fps to about 20fps. It is not that BigBox becomes slower overall, but the viewing experience is less pleasant, and while it does not prevent use, it is still an annoying aspect.

  • Retro808 changed the title to Launchbox 13.17 - High CPU Usage, Slow Boot Times, and Sluggish Speeds

Merging similar threads into one and updated this thread's title. @Wally I did keep your other linked post separate for now since you are reporting some errors in logs versus just performance concerns. 

Please keep in mind our dev team responded to similar concerns in a beta thread and coming soon will start a dedicated post in order to better address this areas. Please see Faeran's last post in this link.

Thanks for merging.

I tried freshly installed Launchbox boot speeds. And I see old versions are much faster than today.

12.12 - 3 second
13.2 - 4 second
13.6 - 5 second
13.7 -17 seconds
13.17 19 seconds

My system is a Ryzen 7 5700x Cpu, RX580 Gpu, 16Gb DDR4 RAM All Launchbox are installed on m.2 drive, and all are fresh installed, and empty without any additions. I'm still using 13.2 because it's faster than ever. And I can't use my translated language because I don't want to use a slower version. If I add 160 platforms and thousands of games, It will more than be slower. I presume. if anybody is there with the full set and the latest version please tell me the boot time.

Of course, we will wait for the @faeran's post. But we want to start before that. We are a small community and we will help each other. Nothing more. We know the dev team is small but bigger for us.

By all means please keep providing relevant data. Was just ensuring users know about what Faeran said as there are a bunch of members who do not use betas and tend not to read the beta thread.

Of course, we will provide relevant data and don't lead to misinformation. Talking about this subject on Beta posts it was a bad decision for my thinking. Beta posts are only for beta errors. If more users will be share her condition that's make a better starting point for that problem. Maybe some users don't want to be changed but it's truly slower than older. 
Thanks for your reply.

Birleştirme için teşekkürler.

Yeni kurulan Launchbox önyükleme hızlarını denedim. Ve eski sürümlerin bugünden çok daha hızlı olduğunu görüyorum.

12.12 - 3 saniye
13.2 - 4 saniye
13.6 - 5 saniye
13.7 -17 saniye
13.17 19 saniye Sistemim Ryzen 7 5700x İşlemci, RX580 GPU, 16Gb DDR4 RAM Tüm Launchbox'lar m.2 sürücüsüne kurulu ve hepsi yeni kurulmuş ve herhangi bir ekleme yapılmamış, boş. Hala 13.2 kullanıyorum çünkü her zamankinden daha hızlı. Ve daha yavaş bir sürüm kullanmak istemediğim için çevrilmiş dilimi kullanamıyorum. 160 platform ve binlerce oyun eklersem, çok daha yavaş olacak. Sanırım. Eğer tam set ve en son sürüme sahip olan varsa lütfen bana önyükleme süresini söylesin.
