online game service + being online = slow to load game lists

**m1rock** · July 2, 2018

Hello, ive noticed an issue ive been having with Gameex and that is if my game lists contain any games that use online services like steam or origin my game lists take allot longer to load. Sometimes up to 5 minuets while my other emus/groups load instantly. When I take my CPU offline though they load normally like any other list. I also noticed that on these lists gameex tends to scan multiple unrelated folders before bringing up the list of games. Is that normal? Its late and I am on a different CPU so I wont be able to post my ini log files or dxdiag ect but I wanted to post the question anyways just to get it out there. Ill follow up tomorrow with whatever relevant logs and info I can find. Thanks!

Attach your log files to confirm, but I don't think is unusual for it to take longer for the games displaying for online services to take longer to verify and adds/deletes to the lists.

ok here is config dxdiag to show my hardware and log. Let me know if there is anything else I can provide. I also think it bears mentioning that this long wait time doesnt only happen the first time I boot gameex and bring up on of those lists it happens when I select a game from the list as well as when I back out of the game sub menu to return to the list and its constant it never catches up or goes faster. Its a bit of a buzz kill to select something wait 3-5 minuets, select something else wait 3-5 minuets, back out wait ect ect. especially when steam or orgin is already loaded in the background and actually launching the game has no slow down at all just navigating the menus in gameex seems to for those particular lists. I included some of my theme and costume menu settings as well because it seems more noticable since I updated my theme. Anyways thanks for help lot me know if anything else is needed.
