[RESOLVED] Please help, loosing my mind

[drbioart]

I'm going crazy.  I keep trying to setup the GameEX AE and sometimes I get farther, but I always lock the system... when it does, I can't do anything but log out (can't quite the app and Alt-Tab doesn't let me select any other processes or even task manager to kill the app).  This is under latest W10.

I can't see what's going on from the logs... It just sits there and I can't see if anything is happening.  I can tell something is downloading, but the system isnt' responding.GameEx.ini

 

Thx

Two suggestions. First, please upgrade to v16.40 of GameEx Arcade Edition.

Second, try disabling Zinc before launching AE after you upgrade.

Attach just your gameex.ini and log.txt files once complete.

Thanks.

Thanks for responding so quickly.  I upgraded and Zinc was still disabled, so not sure if the setting is not taking.

It loaded and then just froze again without me selecting anything.

EDIT: realized that Zinc was enabled somewhere else.  Disabled again... testing

Hmm... Still crashing.  I was able to quickly select update games and then it stopped responding as usual.

Not sure what's going on but the last log doesn't show the load making it to the emulators. 

This seems familiar to me but can't place why at the moment. We may have to wait for Tom to chime in with a suggestion or two.

Thanks.  I got farther and it went to screensaver, but as soon as I make a selection on menu it freezes.  Sometimes it freezes by just scrolling

Here's the crash just by sitting there.  This one says: "Attempting to load game list" and freezes

I'll answer my own question (thus far)… I was pointing the avi snaps folder to my mp4 videosnaps folder (mp4 is the default in newer releases I guess). 

Seems to be working (at least I can launch games.

Lots more configuration to do, but I'm getting closer.  I'm not going crazy anymore

That's great! Be sure to install the latest LAV video filters as this is helpful.

Are we ok to close this thread as resolved?

[drbioart]

Thanks.  yeah, this can be marked as resolved
