Another really bad Steam game mix-up found! Admin, please investigate/mitigate/secure possible LaunchBox Games DB sabotage. 🤨🤔

Tomb Raider (2013) Steam Game ID should be: '203160' (as in: https://store.steampowered.com/app/203160/Tomb_Raider/ ) (But it is currently erroneously pointing to: https://store.steampowered.com/app/750920/Shadow_of_the_Tomb_Raider_Definitive_Edition/ )

Tomb Raider (1996) (a.k.a. "Tomb Raider I (1996)" or simply "Tomb Raider I" ) Steam Game ID should be: '224960' (as in: https://store.steampowered.com/app/224960/Tomb_Raider_I_1996/ )

 

Currently, these two Steam games are populating as duplicates.

 

As with the previously found mix-ups, I'm going to just remove these titles from my Launch Box Windows library until the admin verifies them as fixed.
 
You should be able to verify these mix-ups by clicking on the "Get it on Steam" button on the Launch Box DB website.
 
Warm Regards,

Thanks again @JamesAndersonJr both corrections made. Won't show up in app until tomorrow though since the DB build process has already happened for today.

@C-Beats Cool beans! Thank you!

Hold on before this thread is closed...I found all 3 titles still a little wonky. Maybe I should wait 'til Monday morning, but I'm about to post more details. Don't close this thread yet! Stay tuned!

* Note: All of the following are for Windows unless stated otherwise. *

-------------------------------------------------

Shadow of the Tomb Raider  (a.k.a.: Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition)

Current LaunchBox Game DB URL: https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/105793-shadow-of-the-tomb-raider

Correct Steam URL: https://store.steampowered.com/app/750920/Shadow_of_the_Tomb_Raider_Definitive_Edition/

Correct Steam ID: 750920

Currently Correct in LaunchBox Game DB: No, the steam link is missing entirely in the LaunchBox Game DB page for this title.

-------------------------------------------------

Tomb Raider I (1996) 

Current LaunchBox Game DB URL: https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/88164-tomb-raider-1996

Correct Steam URL: https://store.steampowered.com/app/224960/Tomb_Raider_I_1996/

Correct Steam ID: 224960

Currently Correct in LaunchBox Game DB: Yes, but a suggestion is to update the game's name to include the "I" (i.e., "Tomb Raider I (1996)") to better differentiate it from the later released title.

-------------------------------------------------

Tomb Raider (2013)

Current LaunchBox Game DB URL: https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/2603-tomb-raider-2013

Currently Correct in LaunchBox Game DB: Yes

 

Thanks, @C-Beats

In retrospect, your original fix is good enough. I just had to purge the cache (both images and videos) of all three titles, delete them, than force a LaunchBox Games DB update, then close LaunchBox, and import them again from Steam.

All is well now! 😃

Thanks Again!

Warm Regards,
