Playnite can't switch to desktop mode - Ghassane - 05-05-2020 Hello guys, i set Playnite to always start in Fullscreen, I've used the "Hide" feature for games I've already completed, now i want to display them again, to do so, i needed to go back to Desktop mode and make them reappear. The problem is , after the last update, when it opens in Fullscreen, and i click on "Exit to Desktop Mode" it just closes and nothing happens, i reinstalled it without uninstalling the existing Playnite but it didn't seem to fix the issue. is this related to the update being faulty ? thank you for your help.

Open filter panel in Fullscreen mode, select "Hidden" filter and then "Show in Library" from game menu. 2) Please attach "%appdata%\playnite\playnite.log" file.

EDIT : here's a link to the log file : https://gofile.io/?c=XwwxH5 3) If the issue isn't related to the update, is there a way to backup data then reinstall it clean ? Thank you for your support.

UPDATE : I performed a clean install, with no previous backups, and i was unable to lunch it. i wanted to start it using "%appdata%\local\playnite\Playnite.FullscreenApp.exe", then a message pops up saying : "First time setup is not complete, Playnite will now restart to Desktop mode to finish the procedure" After clicking OK, nothing happens. I think something's wrong with the DesktopApp.exe UPDATE 2 : I tried the portable release on a different machine, it worked, the issue is linked to my PC, i'm still troubleshooting. UPDATE 3 : Problem solved, i couldn't determine the real cause, but uninstalling Playnite, deleting all files including temp then rebooting, solved the issue. Thank you for your support. |
