Title: Latest version of RetroFE does not read my XML files
Post by: StoningtonQB on May 11, 2021, 06:31:09 AM
So I "upgraded" to the latest Windows release (10.21) on my test laptop and am having a host of problems.
First, my collection names don't show up in the top-left corner, only the manufacturer (been happening for several versions now)
Second, RetroFE crashes every other time I try to launch it.
Third, the strangest of them all, it retains a "default" memory of games names and won't read any of my hyperlist XML files. I spent an hour trying to figure out if my XML had any mistakes, only to find out that all of my custom XMLs are being ignored. Is there a way to force refresh all of the hyperlist data?

Did you install the full version, upgraded from 0.10.20, or just copied the 0.10.21 retrofe.exe to your old installation?

I renamed the old installation folder, unzipped new one then moved the collections, meta and layouts over from previous version

I will have a closer look. I lost my entire installation during my HDD crash, and I haven't really spent time to set it all up again.
