What game were you on when you saw this error?

It might have been Grid Seeker, but don’t quote me on that. Certainly the issue isn’t confined to a single game. I only noticed the error when I’d exited the game.

Experiencing similar errors when exiting games... not any one in particular.   Also, if left running, there seems to be a memory leak somewhere. Getting out of memory errors and have to close LaunchBox.  These issues only started after 13.21 update.

There is a known issue with hibernate and some modes of sleep causing memory errors when returning to the application. If you're seeing that error and NOT entering hibernation OR sleep then file a bug report for it please.

Good to know.... Fairly new to LaunchBox and don't know if I've ever left it on for a long period of time before.  I just set up a separate Arcade desk and I've been leaving it turned on much more frequently.

I’ve turned off hi-score uploads and BB has since been stable.

I'm seeing a similar issue with 13.22.  If I have MAME hi-score uploads on, BB will crash on game exit.

Update to beta and it should correct that.

That seems to have solved it.  Thanks!
