Workaround for LB Stuck on "Refreshing Local Metadata" Loop when Importing/Adding


Recommended Posts

Posted
  1. Import ROMs as usual but do not check the box pertaining to checking the local metadata
  2. When games are successfully imported and media is downloaded, click on "Tools\Download\Force Update Games Database Metadata"
  3. Select all newly added games and click on "Tools\Download\Update Metadata and Media for Selected Games"

I have been running into the refresh loop a lot recently and found this is what enabled LB to actually import when I came across it. I tried not running LB as admin, updating LB, updating windows, updating GPU drivers, reinstalling mouse firmware, refreshing toaster BIOS, uninstalling and reinstalling Notepad using a bash script, hemming a pair of khakis, editing the Windows 98 registry subframe stack, reinstalling Windows from scratch off of a stack of 677 5 1/4" floppies, regexxing the query strudel and many other flavors of that's-not-the-problem-and-I'm-tired-of-pretending-it-is-Vanilla.
