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

Recommended Posts

Hi @Wally, thanks for providing those diagnostics and repro steps for the issues you're seeing. We've been trying to standardise our performance diagnostics and recently just released a troubleshooting guide aiming to address some of these concerns. I'm attaching it below:

I understand that your primary concern is with CPU usage. While this guide may not offer drastic changes to that, it does outline some steps you can take to disable loading the database .XML into RAM, which may help improve your startup times and release some pressure on the system.

We recognize that suggesting a guide or recommending turning off certain features is not an ideal solution. There are long-term improvements we know we need to address. However, in the short term, if you’re not using any of the features outlined in the guide, disabling some of them might help reduce your startup times.

I’d appreciate it if you could review the guide, try out some of the suggestions, and let me know if you notice any significant changes in your startup times. I completely understand your frustration, and I want to work with you to address these concerns. Improving "performance" will likely involve tackling several smaller areas, but for now, focusing on startup times gives us a concrete place to begin. Once we’ve explored those options, we can move on to addressing other issues.

Let me know how it goes!

Just to let you know, I was having problems with high CPU and RAM usage after opening Launchbox and it took around 10 minutes for the consumption to decrease. After the introduction of the possibility to disable scanning for saved games the problem disappeared.

Can confirm: Deactivating the Savegame management removes a lot of pressure. Loading times on start are back to an acceptable level and there is also no minute long  cpu/hdd activity afterwards.

Beta3 seems a lot better regarding my issue. I will deep dive into it and check logs + post video

Good to hear.

Good to hear, but just know the Save Management feature and startup times aren't actually linked in any way, but we'll take the win.
