The following explains why iCafeMenu files and posters doesn't show correctly when launching.

  1. When using a super client on a game disk, synchronization issues can occur after updating the game disk.
  2. These problems can lead to incomplete or outdated files being accessed by client PCs, resulting in errors such as games not launching correctly or iCafeMenu failing to function properly.
  3. Game disk updates modify the content stored on the server.
  4. Client PCs do not immediately reflect these changes if the PCs are not rebooted.
  5. After an update, the new game disk content may not synchronize properly with client PCs.
  6. This mismatch often happens because client PCs are still using the previous game disk state during active sessions.
  7. Applications like iCafeMenu are also located on the game disk.

Practices to Avoid Sync Problems

  1. Avoid updating the game disk when customers are actively using the client PCs.
  2. Schedule updates during off-hours or maintenance windows.
  3. Reboot client PCs after updating the game disk to ensure they load the updated content.
  4. Test the updated game on a client PC to confirm all files are intact and synchronized correctly.
  5. Monitor client PCs for errors after updates to identify and resolve any issues.
  6. Maintain consistent game disk versions between the server and clients to avoid mismatches.
