Issue saving Scraper Data for .PBP files over 2 GB

Hi, found this bug while updating my ES system. I am using the latest windows build (June 2018) but it does effect older builds as well. I have a full PSX section of games, most are bin/cue but all the multi-disc games have been converted over to .PBP format. Here's where things get a bit crazy. Every single game in my PSX library scrapes fine, even the .PBP games, aside from a few. Here are the ones that should reproduce the issue: Final Fantasy VIII.PBP, Wing Commander III - Heart of the Tiger (USA).PBP, Wing Commander IV - The Price of Freedom (USA).PBP, Fear Effect 2 - Retro Helix.PBP. So the crazy part is, they all show up in the menu, with no art work, description, video etc. And when I click on one to play, ES launches the emu and the game boots up just fine and plays, when I exit, ES opens back up as normal. So the games work fine, and ES handles them fine. No matter what you do though, you can't save any meta data for them. It completely ignores the scrape data, the pics and videos, the description etc. Even if you just go to one of those games, and manually edit the meta data, just to type anything in the description box, save it, exit out of ES properly so it will save it and reopen ES, the data never saves. After spending hours testing different copies of these games, and many other things, I can find no issues with my set up, or anything else. The ES .log file is very interesting, it reports these games as "missing" and it "ignores them" same thing it does when a game has data in the games.xml but is no longer there. But the kicker is, the games ARE there, and even still show up in ES, and work fine, you just can't scrape them/add any meta data. The ONLY thing these games ALL have in common is they are all over 2 GB in file size and are in a single .PBP file. ALL of my other .PBP games work fine with scraping and saving, just not these, BUT the rest of the .PBP games I have are all under 2 GB in size...... Running windows 10 pro, 64 bit here. Not sure if you need any other info, hope this helps. Below is my ES Log.

Please ignore, wrote this on my phone, didn't see #12 already posted on this, seems like it's fixed just need a windows updated build with this in it.
