Aren't we meant to remove the grid entries in Game Manager or the XML to get it working the way the OP wants? I mean not having PinballX trying to navigate to the table etc. for Option 1

Thanks Draco. I have all the tables too - except the last Star Wars table - your view looks like its landscape and mines portrate - which changes the grid I think. Will manually sort mine out

Update. Finally finished copying media over - only copied media for tables I have. All seems fine now. Seems there is an issue with an image or multiples images when loading - just wasn't able to narrow it down to which one/s exactly.

Hi Draco, Is your Grid 7 columns across and 8 rows down perhaps with all the tables and Portal listed as 1x1 ? Was hoping you could share your FX2 xml - saves me time lol

Doing that right now. Thanks

Thats exactly what I thought. Trying to narrow it down to the actual image thats causing the issue is a nightmare. I just wish i knew what image was causing it. Considering its during startup of PinballX, i'm thinking its probably one of those images. Have taken ownership of the folder after copying it across. Same problem. I'm no coder - but could there possibly be some glitch in the code? I found these articles - not sure if they're related http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14099246/system-drawing-parameter-is-not-valid http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/151460/Parameter-is-not-valid-at-System-Drawing-Bitmap-ct

Hi Attached is my Pinballx.ini file. It only happens when i copy my media folder back after a reinstall. Tested it 3 times now. A default installation launches perfectly fine. With the media back it doesn't. Very odd. I havent changed anything at all. My cabinet is not connected to the internet so no windows updates/driver updates done. Was working perfectly yesterday....but not today. Very odd.

Hoping someone can help. Every time i launch the executable the Pinballx startup screen pops up for a second and then disappears. Log file below shows theres a problem - I just dont know where. I've renstalled PinballX, it launches fine after. As soon as i copy my media folder back though, it goes back to the same issue.

Very cool. Well done. Don't see the point though - well....maybe not in my setup. i'm missing a joystick on my cabinet

Awesome. Thank you very very much

Hello Everyone, Apologies in advance if this has been asked and answered before. I did search the forum but could not find a definite answer. I'm configuring Pinball FX 2 and Pinball Arcade on my cabinet for automatic table launching. The user guide does mention how to configure Pinball FX2 however I need some clarity. I have configured my XML file for FX2 ensuring the grid settings are correct for each table. Is there any AHK scripts needed still for automatically going to the selected table? Or is configuring the grid location in Game Manager all that is necessary? Also, with regard to Pinball Arcade, how does one go about configuring it in PinballX to automatically go to a table? Thanks guys

Hi billhicks have you perhaps read this post http://www.gameex.info/forums/topic/13180-auto-exit-old-b2s-backglass/

Thank you very much Tom. You rock!

Any possibility of getting this fixed today I was actually able to connect one time about 5 minutes ago - now same error again every time Reason i ask is its weekend - need to download the remaining files today so i can start updating my cabinet all weekend - wont have a stable internet connection this weekend to download the remainder from home Please UPDATE : Managed to login again - downloading now. Not sure if the issue is an intermittent one or the problem was isolated and fixed. Thanks

Awesome - thanks- I downloaded CoreFTp, CuteFTP, and an older version of Filezilla - same results.
