Same thing.... cant exit with anything.... have to ctrl alt del and reboot,,,extra frustrating because it changes the mouse cursor to one pixel and you have to go into control panel after computer reboots.... On windows11,, i think it tried on win10 but it was similar....I have tried every possible setting in vpx and pinballx. But it comes down to can't exit tables when exclusive fullscreen is enabled in vpx and vpx resolution is set something different then windows resolution. Thanks for the help.

I am not running vpx or pinball as admin based on your feedback... lotr might have not have been closed by pinballx but when it hit the exit button it goes back to wheel for whatever reason.... finding out that I am not able to exit games in pinballx...any version when excluvise fullscreen is enabled in vpx. Wouldn't be a big deal but I have a handful of tables that I need to lower the resolution on,,, basically any of the newer tables that are resource heavy.

Turns out I have an exit table button issue more then a resolution issue. Whatever button I had to exit tables was closing VPX instead of exiting pinballx but only when vpx was in "force fullscreen" mode. I have always had minor problems exiting tables with pinballx and would usually use joytokey as a quick fix. Currently not using joy to key.....I can exit a some tables no problem but others don't exit, even though they are using the same version of vpx, it really makes no sense. Currently have exit and quit mapped as the same button on controller and keyboard.......lord of the rings exits normally,,,, big bang bar nothing happens when i try to exit....so confused......files attached. log.txt PinballX.ini

I did set windows to 2k and vpx to 2k and that did not result any crashes, but I would like run 10.7 in 4k and 10.8 in 2k, I am thinking if i set windows to 2k and 10.7 vpx to 4k I will have an issue exiting 10.7 tables in pinballx. I can't test right now until i get my 3 screen cab set back up, once it set up correctly, I will post the files if I still get crashes exiting.

Yes it happens on 10.7 as well, I am changing the res in vpx settings, for years I have run vpx in 4k and run windows in 4k with no issues. I’m assuming if I set windows to 2k and vpx to 2k there would not be an issue , I will try later today and test

I’ll mess with windows resolution Tomorow and test ,.., I can run hundreds of tables at 4k/120 fps even with and older card , but some of the latest from vpin workshop have no chance at 60 fps even with a 4060 card (thats what I have) in 4k. I can’t tell the difference in image quality when I go down to 2k basically but they stay at a steady 120 fps .

I have both……tested on both with the same result, I think I only have 64 bit versions. I will do the full install with 3 screen set up soon and just hope it works, if it doesn’t I will stick with and older version for now. I am assuming many don’t use the force full screen option in vpx but even with a new computer and powerful video card i can’t get 120 frames at 4k with some of the recent tables unless I lower the res.

I tested this on a pc i dont use much, it had version 5.42 on it.....i had no problem exiting tables when vpx was using exclusive fullscreen mode.......when i updated it to most current version, crashing again occurred exiting a table on pinballx if exclusive full screen mode was enabled.

I still have the issue, with or without admin.....it seems when vpx changes resolution when the loading screen is up, the loading screen doesn't close, if you cycle through open windows the loading screen is still there and when you try to exit a table it hangs. It also might be tied to an issue with screen set up but I can't really test currently. Tomorrow I will set everything up with 3 screens, but I have a feeling the issue will persist.

ive run them both in admin for years.....I have had problems exiting tables if admin isnt checked. I use joytokey to make it easier to change volume with pinvol. you might be right though.. i unchecked admin for both and it might have helped... kinda hard to test. I dont have the computer hooked up to cabinet yet, but I will confirm if that actually fixed the problem

no luck with those parameters... I tried to delele the loading png, still freezes.

I forgot i had pinvol in there, it already launches with windows.. I took it out but didnt help. It happens with 10.7 as well unfortunately. I tried a fresh install on 2 different computers,I tried all options with the exclusive mode in vpx and pinballx, no luck unfortunately. I will try your parameters.. Thanks.

System crashes when I try to exit a table in vpinballx.....this only happens when I run visual pinball in a different resolution as windows. There are some newer game that I have use lower the resolution and select force fullscreen mode in vpinball, when I exit a black screen shows and I can see part of the loading screen and I have to reboot the entire pc. I think the actual problem is the loading screen doesn't fully close after a table crashes. The loading screen comes up normally when I chose a table, but right before the table launches the loading screen changes resolution and the loading screen gets larger.

That seemed to fix the issue on my test setup thanks .Mike_da_Spike . Oddly I did come across that post recently troubleshooting something else but never clicked in my brain.

I did update to 3.6.... i think your onto something, cause TOTAN doesn't update the highscore file on a different setup either. I'll take a look at that link.

Here are the files...... Tales of arabian nights is a table that high scores are not updating....i deleted the high score text file.... a new file has not generated. I play "taxi" just to test and that updated with a new high score text file. I had issues with simpson's pinball party,,,deleted the game from pinballx, added the game back and it did generate a new high score text file and it is correct, but no luck when I deleted and added tales of arabian nights. I understand some games won't show the high scores, but I am having issues with games that have worked for years. I have 2 different versions of visual pinball in pinballx but the issue persists on both unfortunately. If you dont have any suggestions, my next 2 things to try will be moving pinmame to a different folder and restinstalling or installing pinballx in a new folder just to test.......bottom line is some games arent generating the highscore text files and I cant figure out why. Thanks for any help, i know you have helped a ton over the years. PinballX.ini log.txt

Some tables are showing blank highscores, or the highscores are not updating in the information menu.... I don't see a pattern, just seems random. When I check the highscore folder in pinballx folder, some tables generate the text file, some don't...any ideas?

Thanks for the reply, after 20ish years of playing on pc, I finally built a cabinet. I ended up just using the hold down button to exit. I moved the extra ball button to the coin button and its working out well. The exits a little slow but overall pinballx is great.

Is there a way to exit tables using 2 buttons or keys. I don't want to use one button to exit, its to easy to hit by mistake and I would prefer not to have a dedicated exit button I would like to do something like hit the credit button and the launch button at the same time to exit quickly. I know there is a hold button option but the way it is now you have to assign/waste a button.

using a standard resolution 1920 by 10... i guess the bottom line is for now you might not get exactly what you see on the screen when your actually recording, especially backglasses. I agree with scutters, but at least i found a manageable work around for now. Will be nice to just click a few buttons and let it record all my tables and backglasses.

I kinda found a work around, it seems recording backglasses works best when they are full screen, meaning stretched full screen width wise. I prefer mine to be not stretched as much as I prefer them closer to the original aspect ratio of an actual backglass, more of a square then rectangle. So I will just record them stretched out a bit, then change the backglass width settings in pinballx. I was trying to set my preferred width, then recording.

When I record backglass videos they play back squeezed inward, they are to skinny. They play fine in a media player in windows but when in pinballx they view squeezed inward. Any suggestions?

After I updated to the latest official update to windows 10, many of the Joystick functions would no longer work playing a table. They would work in the menus but when in a table I couldn't exit or pause. I tried all the normal fixes, reinstalling, run as administrator.... nothing helped. After going back to an earlier windows build(fortunately easy with windows 10) all joystick functions returned. Not looking for a fix, just thought I'd provide some info if anyone else had similar problems.

Tried using the xone controller using a usb cable, same issue. Went back to 360 dongle and 360 controller, and do not have any issues. Will stick with 360 controller for now.
