Rescan everytime?

Post by rugbyrat »

Do you seriously have to rescan every game that has ever been made every time you want to do something?
i launch the program it scanned for games (under gameplay backup) i select 1 game that's it 1 game.
i died and hit restore game - all is good. then when i go back to gameplay backup it rescans everyhting again?

Can't i just pick a game from the list instead of it looking for every game ever made? it takes minutes for this to scan

Am i just missing something that should be blindly clear ?

and also i have to pick my save location every single time also? is there no save feature for this stuff?

There's an option within Program Settings to 'remember' the last successful scan, which will improve your scan times. A scan will still be performed, but will be targeted at the records that were last discovered.

You should still perform a 'full scan' whenever you start playing a new game or when a Database Update is applied, the latter automatically triggers such a scan.

Thanks i will try that

Well tried that and even under settings (ignored entries) Checked every game except the one i am saving, so that it would not scan all of them again and it still scans.
Closed program down retried and same thing..
