Would be awesome to get this program see native support in PinballX since they currently have 37 tables. I would like to see the rotate option in there as I need this and I am sure other do as well. One thing I should mention, the VR DLC they released yesterday for $17 bucks is probably the best virtual arcade experience I have seen in VR since getting in to VR 4 years go. It uses SteamVR so it works with both the CV1 and VIVE but with the VIve roomscale you can walk around the table, check out the backglass, look underneath etc. It also plays extremely well as you control each flipper individually with each vive controller. This is the future of Virtual Pinball for sure.

Yes, both tables are out this AM on Steam for $5.49 Canadian! Thanks for the wheels! Has anyone created the animated backglass and table screenshots yet?

Hey thanks Ginsonic, adding "skipwhatsnew" without quotes to my Steam Launch options for Pinball Arcade fixed the issue with the auto selecting messing up! It works great now. Thanks for the tip!

Hello I just downloaded and installed the latest PinballX 2.11 and it still gets stuck on the autoselect of tables using the CameraMOD executable. For the next release, can you add a "tick" to the Pinball Arcade setup page to disable this feature? Thanks much!

Draco, the camera mod gives you the perfect view for playing in a cab. Make sure you download the default cams for every table so you have a starting point that you can tweak for each table. It has really made TPA finally usable in a cab This is also the only way I could get DX11 version of TPA to launch with PinballX.

Other Systems will not rotate to portrait, therefore not an option for The Pinball Arcade. One of the main reason I could not use it in my cab before. TPA playable now in a cab with the Camera Mod, otherwise forget it too.

Hello, I have tried changing the delay from -1 to 29 and it makes no difference. It still takes a long time to get started and still gets stuck. Will wait to hear back some suggestions.

Hey Tom, I tried your updated PinballX.exe as I am having the same issue with cursor jumps. It worked great the first 2 tests with Twilight Zone and StarTrek, then the 3rd time it got stuck on the "My Tables" page and ended up getting stuck on Exit. It has mostly getting stuck since then. Not sure if anyone else is having this issue that is using the PBAFreeCamMod, but its a show stopper for me. Adam's Family which is on Grid 1 seems to work fine most of the time.

Hello, thanks for the quick response. I have read that post already and my PinballX is setup properly. It's just that there is a delay occurring that is causing the keystrokes to mess up. It's most likely due to me using PBAFreeCamMod with TPA. So there is no way to shut that functionality off? If it worked fine, I would leave it alone, perhaps a video would help? Note: I have tried testing the delay from -1 to 29 seconds, it makes no difference.

Hey guys, is there a way to disable the key presses/mouse clicks provided by the integrated process? I have setup all 66 PBA tables on the Grid setting in the game manager and anything after "1" The Adam Family's" is a crap shoot the key presses go to the right game. I have successfully selected Twilight Zone and StarTrek once but most times it gets stuck on the "My Tables" screen. I can make a video if it helps. Most times it ends up in exit game and the app crashes as it exits Pinball X and leaves me in Portrait Mode. I would just like to shut this function off and select the game manually.

This fix came from Jannek42: C:\Windows\System32\Taskkill /IM "Pinball FX2.exe" /F Hey paulohotline, the "Batch" isn´t more than just a single line: (see above). It just says: kill the Pinball FX2.exe Task, if it still exists after I left a PBFX2 table. Kind regards, Jannek ------ The command itself is: taskkill Parameters: /IM (ImageName... don´t know why it is abbreviated "/IM") -> Info that the task-Name will be specified (instead of the task-ID) /F Specifies to forcefully terminate the process(es) -> no waiting for smooth closing (Hopefully this is summarized correct )

Hey guys, it just started working again...not sure what the heck is going on since i did not even reboot again. I wonder if it has to do with my network being congested with downloads this AM since the Steam version I am using on the VirtuaPin is shared with my main PC. I am not downloading anything now... I will keep an eye on it, as no one else appears to be impacted. Thanks for your feedback.

Hello, thanks for the quick response. The issue of the PInballFX.exe locking up on exit appears to only happen in PinballX. I have also tried moving the DMD back to the main screen and same issue on exit. When I test with Steam outside PinballX, games exit fine between each other and I can exit the app without any issues. It appears this issue in PinballX is happening with all tables. Perhaps PBFX2 is taking longer to save on exit and it requires more time? Not sure how to increase that variable or if PinballX kills the app as soon as you exit. pinballx.ini Log.txt

Hey guys, not sure if an updated occurred over the weekend on PinballFX2, but my tables do not exit properly anymore. The DMD on the 2nd screen no longer exits and stays frozen on the screen when I return to the PinballX select menu on exit of table. When I try to run another PinballFX2 table, steam tells me an app is already running. I have to close the pinballfx.exe app in Task Manager. Everything was working flawlessly this weekend, no changes were made to PinballX at all. Any ideas?

Hey Tom, it started working today. Must of been an issue with the ISP blocking the port? Thanks again.

Ok, i have added and opened port 443 on my Norton Firewall and Router with no change. I have also disabled entirely the smart Norton firewall on the Cab PC with no change. I am officially stumped. Unless the issue is on the GameEx Online end (and it appears no one else is having problems) I am stumped for now. Mostly like I will just reset my router eventually. Here is the host name in case anyone else reports issues connecting from Canada:Host Name: wnpgmb0311w-ds01-68-2.dynamic.mtsallstream.net Thanks again for your help.

Ok I am have re-entered the username and password and am able to use the PinballX download service to search \ download media in the game list manager with no problems. This was also working fine previously. I purchased the 1 Year online pass in Dec 2014 which includes access to GameEx Online, let me know if that has changed. I also launched a backed up 1.92 version of PInballX on a backup drive and it too would not login into GameEx when launching the app, so it's not a corrupt file in the new install. It might be a firewall issue, what port does GameEx use? I am going to leave this for now since everything else is working except the online component. Thanks.

Okay will scrub out and re-enter user name and password. I purchased a yearly membership in Nov and it's been working fine since then.

Hello, yes I have rebooted the cabinet several times. Something broke in PinballX. Is there a registry entry I can check to see if this function was disabled? I have upgraded PinballX to the latest version and it's still not logging into GameEX on PInballX bootup. The login message and sound don't come up. Is there a menu key to force that login? Thanks again.

Hello, my GameEx profile will not auto-login when I launch PinballX and stopped working this AM. The last game loaded before it stopped working was Addams family, see sig card below. Here is my online profile: https://online.gameex.com/user.aspx?id=28033 I have verified in setup that online is enabled and that the user name and password are correct. I have not had issues with this before and am using the latest version of PinballX. I have rebooted the cabinet a couple of times and everything else with respect to going online is working fine. I have checked my Norton Network settings and they are allowing GameEX and PinballX to go online. Here are my specs: Intel® Core i7 CPU 960 @ 3.20GHz with 16GB running NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560. Any suggestions?
