Looks like it happened when loading specific scraped images. Ive attached coupled of them to this ticket.

Looks like the metadata in the file that tells WPF what color pallete/profile is corrupted or missing from these images. I may have find a way to minimize the impact of images like this and will see if there is any negative to implementing and update the ticket with what I find.

I’ve just gotten this same error after trying to view the cover of Batman: The Video Game in LaunchBox after noticing it showed up as nothing but a small black square in Big Box.

[Christian]

This should be corrected in LaunchBox 12.8. Please let me know if you are still having this issue after upgrading.

I’m no longer experiencing the crash, but the images still fail to load in BigBox. I can submit a separate ticket for that specifically if needed.
