WillyJL Like some others I get that same screen "Waiting for F95Checker to quit..." and... nothing more.

I understand things don't always go right, but can you please provide instructions on how to properly get this updated from this state?

Thanks in advance.
Just delete the files and install the new ones

Update worked fine for me and I'm excited about the refresh finally working and how fast it is. However, the application runs very slow now and is kinda unstable. As you can see, it can barely run in 18 fps. It used to run 164 fps on my 164hz monitor just fine before. Idk if the new UI and effects have a hard time handling at lot of game, seeing as I am tracking 1243 games currently.
Does this happen in other view modes? List, grid, kanban? How many games do you have?

v11.0 broke linux version. at least for linux mint 22.

I tried auto updating. when that did not work, I removed it and manually installed v11.0 myself from a fresh copy grabbed from github

either case it just doesn't work. I tried running it (both auto updated and clean download) from command line to see any errors and this is what it says:

manually installing xcb did not work. neither did manually installing Qt5dxcb-plugin
which makes sense, it looks like they are included in ./lib folder to prevent the requirement of other external programs and issues where different versions are used.

reverting to v10.2 works. although every time the program runs it will ask again if I want to update to v11.0
instead of remembering that I told it I don't want that version.

also, just in case those are a red herring, I tried running 10.2 from command line to see if it also says the same things and ignores it. and it does not, it says nothing if you run 10.2 from command line, it just runs.
I have a hunch that it would work on a newer os version, probably some qt incompatibility. Anyway I'll try to see what's up with that plugin stuff

Delete what files, exactly?
And, if relevant, what files do I need to keep so I don't lose the list of games already there?

Thanks.
The auto updater tells you this, as well as the FAQ. Your user data is not stored in the program directory. Just delete the program and download the new one

I have 1242 and it seems to be only in grid and the label grid wheels. Reducing the amount of detail options like play-button and such increased the fps for me to 25. I suspect it might be the many GIF cover pictures the app need to show at the same time but idk.

It shouldn't display the gifs or images either while they're off screen. I'm guessing that all the calculations it does now to fit text neatly next to each other below each cell is a bit much. I'll see if it can be optimized. Would you mind sending your db and imgui.ini in my direct messages? Easier to test this way

Yes i'm sure it also unchecked refresh on startup which i previously had on
please send me a zip with the entire contents of your f95checker data folder (should be in app data, check the OP FAQ for exact location), except the images, in direct messages. ill try to understand what went wrong and hopefully recover your data. im assumingsomething wrong with database table migration.
did you by chance go back and forth between multiple versions?

Congrats on 11.0 WillyJL!

I got a weird issue, it's failing to finish the refresh because of the app auto-update rejecting github's SSL cert... Is there a way to disable the app auto update while I'm figuring out if it's an issue local to my computer?

as of 11.0, it should be using SSL certs from your system store. update windows, and also try sfc and DISM (google them)
anyway it refreshed fine, just the update check failed, but other than that its working fine

Different sorting initially probably due to the new tabs, either disable the independent tab views, or configure sorting again in the list view by clicking the column headers. As for it randomly breaking and having different sorting than what the columns are configured to do, this is a known issue listed in the changelog that I currently have no way to fix, it seems to be a memory corruption in either imgui or pyimgui. Restarting the app or configuring sorting again will fix it
oooh, yeah going into list let me sort by update and then switching back to tiles had it fixed. Thanks! And also thanks for your work on this great tool.

Just got this error while it did an auto refresh. Internet is fine and nothing changed. View attachment 4326230
yeah, with all the new traffic the cache api hit the max 600 latest updates requests per hour limit. already hit up Sam and he handled it on their end and will not happen to more threads. im now adding fallback handling for this, then will clear the cache for the few threads that got this error cached

Ah i see, well I guess is to be expected considering how many use the Checker.
