Cnells2000 Posted March 3 Posted March 3 Im Experiencing Problems Where my big box crashes after around 2 minutes. Im Using the current version and im using the neon arcade deluxe theme if that matters. thx in advance. 2.mp4 t help 1 Quote
KokomoGuy Posted March 3 Posted March 3 Same here. Guessing this has something to do with the new database format. It's not so much a crash as it is a hang. There's no activity in the task manager process. I also think the updated VLC is not compatible with a lot of the graphics. For once, Windows Media is more compatible than VLC in this application though you'll still notice missing media. 1 Quote

Also are you on latest beta or 13.19 stable release? If you are running VLC for the videos try changing to WMP. Please note LB and BB have setting for VLC/WMP in both. So if the issue is in BB then change that option in the BB settings. If attract mode there was a prior post about this issue. 1 hour ago, KokomoGuy said: Same here.

The database change will not affect BB since LB typically only accessed the DB when pulling meta data during import or when updating game data. Quote

After changing the settings to WMP player, im still experiencing the same issue.... should i remove VLC from the third party folder? will that help? 1 Quote
skizzosjt Posted Tuesday at 02:44 PM Posted Tuesday at 02:44 PM I've started getting hangs/freezing in Big Box too. Always manually scrolling. Seems completely random. Literally has never happened before after many years of use. Produces no error, Big Box just instantly hangs up and must be process killed in order to be closed. 2 Quote
ricktn1 Posted Wednesday at 01:11 PM Posted Wednesday at 01:11 PM I'll chime in on here. Also getting freeze/hangs within bigbox, exactly as the poster above has stated and also have to kill the process. I noticed this occasionally in 13.19, but more so in 13.20. 1 Quote

I noticed this occasionally in 13.19, but more so in 13.20. confirmed it does happen at random....i thought i was ok but it then it happened again after id opened big box several times. now it keeps doing it. I tried going back to launchbox 13:15 but i cant now because i get major plugin errors when i do. hope this gets resolved soon. Is there a Log or something i can submit to you guys to see whats goin on? but i guess the log wont matter when i have to force close big box.... Edited Wednesday at 08:51 PM by Cnells2000 Quote
Oldgamer123 Posted Thursday at 03:39 PM Posted Thursday at 03:39 PM (edited) I will also chime in, noticed the issue with 13.19, was hoping 13.20 was the fix. Still same random freeze. 2 minutes in or an hour. also this might help, hoping I’m doing this right https://forums.launchbox-app.com/topic/89338-bigbox-locking-up-soon-after-going-into-attract-mode-in-version-1319/ i want to thank everyone at launch box for all the great work. I just have never had this happen. I love turning on my arcade and letting attract mode go and seeing all the games. It’s part of the experience for me. Again, not complaining nisr hoping it helps Edited Friday at 03:30 AM by Oldgamer123 Quote
Trnzaddict Posted Thursday at 11:54 PM Posted Thursday at 11:54 PM Never had a freeze in BB either but yea today was the first time it happened after upgrading to the latest version. Was scrolling and the program just locks up. Had to force close. Quote
Surfdeign Posted Friday at 12:06 AM Posted Friday at 12:06 AM I'm continuing to have this same problem with the latest version. Bigbox is unusable. Nothing in my setup was changed between versions except for the version update. Quote
Sbaby Posted Friday at 10:58 PM Posted Friday at 10:58 PM I’m adding my testimony as well...I’m experiencing the same crash issue. I hope a solution is found soon Quote
Oldgamer123 Posted yesterday at 02:59 AM Posted yesterday at 02:59 AM (edited) I fired mine up tonight, hit the down button to scroll through games, frozen. It is almost unplayable now? What issues will I cause by going backwards in updates?? Edited yesterday at 02:59 AM by Oldgamer123 Quote
