Scooby1, I had troubles with that table too. If I remember correctly, I compiled (script) and saved the PM5 table using Visual Pinball (regular EXE, not PM5 !) and then started it again with the correct PM5 VP version. Worth a try !

Grateful thanks Tom

Tom, many thanks for that great new feature, it is also very useful for translations ! But one word remains, which cannot be translated yet: "All" in "All Tables". Could you maybe create a custom text entry for either "All" or "All Tables" too ? Thanks

Hi designone, I think I know, what's wrong in here. You start FP with this command line: cmd.exe /c C: Future Pinball.exe /play "C:\Emulators\Future Pinball\Tables\Elvis Stern_1_1_night.fpt" /play /exit Let's analyze this ! "cmd.exe" starts a command line process, which starts FP. The parameter /c means "terminate command process after execution", and that is the main problem ! PinballX waits for the termination of the started process (normally Future Pinball.exe) and then returns to table selection menu, BUT... the started process (and recognized process by PinballX) is the command line process (cmd.exe), which terminates immediately after starting FP, and not "Future Pinball.exe" as intended. Solution: Start FP without cmd /c, and everything should work flawlessly. best regards

Should the command line not be Future Pinball.exe /open "[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]" /play /exit ?

I don't know the possible side effects, but try to change the "Tables" value of entry "filtername" in the "Internal" section of PinballX.ini [internal] filtername=Tables

Hi Tom, I think, you are absolutely right ! Yesterday I followed couslev's marvellous guide (http://www.gameex.info/forums/topic/9624-guide-steam-in-gameex/) and activated the game overlay like described. Now everything works flawlessly But, no bad without any good, I reinstalled GameEx from the scratch and cleared up some old waste, all shining bright and new now Thanks for your help, maybe sometimes I can give something back !

I tried to modify the touchscreen settings (touchscreen was already disabled in the setup wizard) and set everything to false, unfortunately no effect again. GameEx always comes back to front after 45 seconds. Now I will try to make a full image backup and reinstall GameEx, maybe this will help... I will report, if the behaviour has changed after reinstalling. Update: I made a full clean GameEx reinstall (deleted every trace in registry and on harddisk) and I activated only the Steam games in the setup. Same result, GameEx returns after 45 seconds, Steam game keeps on running in the background ! Next I will restore a system image from june... Update 2: Before restoring the old image, I tried to include the Steam games quick and dirty as a custom emulator (using fake rom folder). When I start the games from the emulator, GameEx actually does not return after the usual time, so it must be related to the integrated Steam support !

Exactly, this is my problem ! Sorry for the misunderstanding, English is not my native language It always happens after 45 seconds (regardless which Steam game), it could be a kind of timeout. One further note: when GameEx comes to front, the LedBlinky plugin also changes back to FE mode ! Here is the GameEx.ini:

Thanks for your answer, I tried, but unfortunately no effect. After 45 seconds GameEx reappears and Steam game keeps on running in the background. I fear, that a "launch after" command will not help, since it launches after quitting the game, not after starting it.

Hi all, I recently activated Steam support in GameEx and nearly everything works flawlessly, except one thing: When I choose a steam game, it starts normally. After exactly 45 seconds GameEx frontend returns, the game keeps on running in the background. This happens on any Steam game. When I manually quit the game within those 45 seconds, the game process closes, but it also needs several seconds until GameEx returns. When starting e.g. MAME games, everything works without any troubles. Here is my log: The wrapper starting before (an own wrapper) has no effects on this behaviour, I already tried without ! Thanks in advance for your help !
