Windows 10, version 1709 coming soon

[tthurman]

This hit one of my machines last night that already had 1703 on it, while others still do not. 

Regardless, be aware that the second round of creators update is in the wild.

I went ahead and installed it on my main rig. Likely on the pincab tonight. So far so good.

I'm still perfectly happy with Windows 7.

New annoying popup for hitting Windows +G to get an array of crap I don't need during every game launch.   Need to figure out how to get rid of that.

 

Also, GameEx Arcade is now unstable and freezes either launching a game or within menu randomly.  Used to be able to edit my raster.ini file w/o issues.  Now it makes GameEx Arcade unstable.  I've copied my backups back to my C: drive but I still get freezes with it going through "All Games" and "Genres" menus.  When I can better put a finger on it I'll form a post describing what's up. 

It's sort of the classic computer troubleshooting question -- "What did you do before you had this problem?".  What I did was upgraded to 1709.

What prompted the crashes was innocently adjusting my raster.ini file.  Maybe notepad is doing something now to the files?  I'm at a loss at this point.

I use Notepad++ for editing in and xml files. Much better and free!

Definitely open a new thread in the GameEx General forum with details and your log.txt and gameex.ini files for Arcade Edition. I am running the Fall Creator Update with AE and experiencing no issues. I am assuming you have a later version of MAME than I do as I cannot find that file on my system.  You should be able to revert back to the previous Win 10 version and maybe download it and reinstall to see if it may have just been a bad update. IDK.
