Phantom Posted July 11 Author Share Posted July 11 Hi, I just decided to update to 18.65 and this problem still persists. GameEX only works for me up to 18.56. I know its been a while but did anything change from 18.56 to 18.57 that would cause GameEx to not load? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Tom will need to answer but I am not able to replicate even with the latest. Did you provide Tom with a copy of your theme as he requested? Also, can you please attach updated copies for the latest version of your gameex.ini and log.txt files? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted July 11 Author Share Posted July 11 Here are the files. Thanks for your time PS: I tried other themes and they all do the same thing (Black Screen) except the ones that show Game Art in the Background. log.txt GameEx.ini Default - Default NN.7z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Posted July 12 Author Share Posted July 12 I just tried removing the Set Resolution setting and it didn't make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted July 13 Author Share Posted July 13 Hi, So I just tried something else. I removed my GameEx.ini and started GameEx 18.65 so it created a fresh config and it worked! So there is something in my ini that is causing the problem. I’ll go through it when I get a chance and remove things one at a time until I find the issue and report back so @Tom Speirs can see how that effects the new version when he can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would explain why we have not been able to replicate the issue from our side. I look forward to further findings. Perhaps something did not get added correctly to the gameex.ini when the upgrade from 18.56 occurred originally and carried forward all along.

Phantom Posted July 14 Author Share Posted July 14 Ok so I played around with the GameEx.ini file and in the end it didn't really have any effect. But I did find that disabling CUSTOM MENUS is what actually works. Before disabling CUSTOM MENUS I tried differtent Themes and the only one that worked was DEFAULT - GAMELAUNCHER, all the others do the same Black Screen. But when I Disable CUSTOM MENUS all themes work. I don't know the connection but maybe something changed when 18.57 was created.

Phantom Posted August 23 Author Share Posted August 23 Hi, Just updated to 18.75 and this problem still persists. If I disable Custom Menus I see GameEx but if Custom Menus is enabled I get a black screen… 🤷🏻♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Posted October 18 Author Share Posted October 18 Hey guys, I saw the latest updates come out and I couldn't wait to try them to see if they happen to fix my problem, so I remote accessed my arcade from work and did the update and it looks like its all working good with the latest update (18.80) I'll have to really check well this weekend when I have time but do you think it was the Fullscreen Exclusive mode? Or was there something else that might have been doing it. Thanks for all the hard work as usual... Looking forward to hopefully putting this issue behind and moving on to the next one 🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 Yes, i think it was the fullscreen exclusive mode. i am not sure why it is suddenly causing issues. I thought it might be a windows 11 problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 I'm uploading 18.82 now. Please let me know if the issue has returned. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 I can confirm the full screen exclusive issue is something windows 11 introduced but I am glad GameEx is finally fixed for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
