Importing Games crashes Launchbox

[John Vallender]

Dragging games into Launchbox, selecting ‘Windows’, leaving the game ‘in place’, gets to ‘Saving games’, then crashes with the below error.

What options were selected in the custom options pages? Having a hard time replicating, could use as much information as you can give.

[John Vallender]

Hi Christian,

Here’s what I selected. I’m importing basic information on games I’ve got downloaded as zip files, so I’ve got a catalogue in Launchbox of games I’ve not got installed as well. So this is adding a game I don’t have installed…

Options chosen:

None of the Above
Picked ‘Windows

'Use the files in their current location’

Tick on 'Search for game information'....
Tick on 'Box - Front' (just one tick)
Tick on 'Remove roughly-matched duplicate images'
(Parsing EmuMovies)
Tick on 'Box - Back' and 'Box - Front'
No ticks on 'Force importing...' or 'Look for...'

Ready to Import page - shows the game
Press finish.

"Refreshing local metadata from....", and cycling green line
...
Importing [game].zip... [solid green line]

[Sits for a while....30 seconds or so, no screen changes]

Saving games.... [crash]

[Christian]

Is this happening every time you try to import any file for that platform? Also would it be possible for you upload your Windows.xml file from \\LaunchBox\Data\Platforms\?

[John Vallender]

Rather than expect you to parse my collection, which is hardly fair, i thought i’d do the donkey work. I’ve narrowed it down to two copies of Colin Mcrae Racing 2.0. Obviously I should merge these two records together, but it’s interesting that I can successfully import additional games into the library from Steam and it accepts it, but dragging a game in from the hard drive I guess tries to reconstruct the XML and crashes with that error. Merging the two records makes the problem go away. I’m not sure why I’ve got duplicates, the data is largely from ID 2551 in the game catalogue with a couple of ‘CD’ and ‘Boxed’ tags where I added data on import.

Anyway, here’s the xml which can be used to replicate the problem. Obviously I can fix this now by merging, however it was a little trawl to get to find the offending records!

[Christian]

Thanks for that, will help immensely.

[Christian]

Believe we have a fix in place in the latest beta release of 11.11 (just out today). Would it be possible for you to grab it and see if you still have the issue in that beta. Even with the XML you provided I am having a hard time replicating. Would be nice to confirm we have it nipped in the butt.

[John Vallender]

Subscribed to the beta, swapped out my xml, added a game, imported successfully. Bud succesfully nipped, thank you!
