uberpubert69 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 It always seems that just when I get my setup up and running perfect, an update will come up and I'll install it and it breaks my setup in some way or some kinda hardware failure occurs on my machine and I have to start all over again. This time, my Video snaps will take like 1-2 seconds to load from one game to the next (making GameEx feel incredibly sluggish) on any of my game lists, which never happened before. Yes I messed with the tweaks page but again this has never been a problem for me so idk why that would be an issue now, but what do I know. Halp!

tthurman Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Have done a system restart? I've noticed that many times, even if I'm just tweaking my config that my snaps stop working, a reboot instantly fixes it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed that many times, even if I'm just tweaking my config that my snaps stop working, a reboot instantly fixes it though.I restarted my system and the problem is still there. Even for games that don't have videos it takes like 2 seconds to switch from the game before it goes to the one I chose. I got a video uploading of my problem so you can see it first hand. But for some reason my MAME list appears unaffected. But all my video snaps are the same format.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgW3bY7G5qk&feature=youtu.be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberpubert69 Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 Alright, so if someone tells me its my video decoder, I may go insane lol. I had already installed the Shark codecs after a huge headache with my videos before and I've done nothing to it since installing it and I've not installed any new codecs either. But I have some games that have no videos and even those take time to be selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I dont have a delay and I don't use Shark anymore. Windows 8.1 codecs work fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad. lol I was, then I had a hard drive failure and had to switch to a 100GB pos and put 7 on there because my 8 disc was bunk. So your memory serves you well. Also I took the liberty of cleaning my system and defragging and optimizing my extHDD still no change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means it's something wrong with GameEx and not me. lolI too noticed my video snaps for my console list (forget the specific name for them) don't lag but as soon as I enter any specific emulator game menu the lag begins.

Evilforces Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Correct all, the lag is when loading videos. It makes you can't advance the list speedy. If the games has an image instead a video it loads perfect.When i'm on the main list (i have no videos for my systems) and load the images it's very speedy, you can browse the emulators list well. The problem is in my case inside all the emulators list, when a video load it lag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Not so sure it rule-out your setup as culprit, mi amigo! 2 reports are not a trend out of the many that run GameEx without having the same issue to report. Also, what may fix yours may not fix another's issue if it is from a similar, but different causitive agent.So glad I'm not the only one experiencing this issue.

Also, what may fix yours may not fix another's issue if it is from a similar, but different causitive agent.idk, usually if I person has an issue, chances are somebody else out there has an issue thats the same or similar. and if 2 people have the same or similar issue, chances are many will have issues at least statistically speaking. Doesn't mean every person is going to report the problem though. Maybe 14.04 isn't/hasn't been installed on a lot of peoples systems yet. My problems didn't arise until I updated. But either way I seriously doubt its my settings. Everything was peachy until the exact moment I updated. Just trying to logically deduct possibilities.

Draco1962 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Might run faster if you shave your palms.. hopefully a solution will be found. You may want to see if maybe Event Viewer shows anything funky taking place from the OS side of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evilforces Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Just say I just try again and this problem does not happen with the MAME videos. Only happens with the videos of my emulators. It is very rare.As you can see in the video, step through the list of MAME games is very fluid. However, going through the list of emulators jumps some games and is not fluid.

Krakerman Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I recently took notice to this but on my setup it is like a slight stutter I am still not sure if it is GameEx or the codec update that caused it but it doesn't bug me that much so I haven't made any mention of it.It could be how the video was recorded too. I just updated my codecs again last night will do some further testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just updated my codecs again last night will do some further testing.All my videos have been the same and I didn't update my codecs. I had been using my GameEx immediately before updating to 14.04 (I forget what version I was on.) and I had zero issues, everything was running perfect. Then when I updated, my GameEx started behaving this way. And its not just games with video snaps that are affected. Games that don't have any snaps will load just as slow as a game with a video snap does.You may not be having the problem Evilforces and I are having if you aren't experiencing these symptoms. Set your video snaps directory for a emulator to nowhere so the game list has no snaps and then run down the list to see if it stutters/lags. That would rule out the videos loading slow.

Evilforces Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 It's not a video problem, I set the video snaps to nowhere and still lagging.I remember you i'm not having this problem in my mame list (with videos), only in my emulators list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
