@scutters Yes, I run a Pincontrol1 in my cab. I even switched the exit button to another port because I thought this might solve the problem. I already bought a Dudes Cab board. But it will take some time till I will be able to make the switch. Hopefully this will solve the problem.

@scutters Thanks a lot. Here is my ini file. And just to clarify. The first time, I quit the game on purpose. The 2nd time it happend as described in my initilal post. PinballX.ini

Hello everyone, I`d just like to ask if this might be something somebody heard of and knows a solution for. If I start a game with Pinball X it happens pretty often that the game ends in the middle of the game and I just return to the menu. Just as if had pushed the exit button. If I start a game just using VPX directly without Pinball X, I never had an issue like this. I added my log file where it happend again just some minutes ago. Thank you! log.txt

Thanks to everybody for helping! Great support!!! @Mike_da_Spike your programm works like a charm. So far I had no problems anymore

@Mike_da_Spike Thanks a lot. When I'm back from work later today I'll give it a try and let you know if it worked. @scutters Thanks for additional explanation. The letter J on the keyboard was a random choice of mine. I just made sure that I chose a letter that was not in use already. Finally I guess I have to transfer this now somehow to my pinball controller so I don't have to use the keyboard anymore. I hope this won't cause any further problems.

Little update. I don`t know exactly what happend, but now pressing J when I play a table brings me reliable back to the PinballX menu. The only thing that I noticed is the following. Pretty often If I start the next table, the buttons like start and coin do not work. I have to remove my VR glasses, go to my mouse and leftclick on the active window for the game. Then everything works again in VR, too. log.txt PinballX.ini

log.txtPinballX.iniSorry, I don`t run Future Pinball on my system and I just deactivated it the settings. Yes, right. It was running Pinball X as administrator. It was just a try to see if this could probably be a solution. VPX isn`t. Quit and Exit Emulator set to J. Nothing changed.log.txtlog.txt PinballX.ini

that`s strange. One more try. In this run, it worked at least 1 or 2 time. For the rest, same problem like usual. log.txt

sure, here it islog.txt

R seems not to be mapped. Nothing happens during gameplay if I press it.

Thanks for the hint. At least I was able to solve this problem. I just the dll file from an save file. Now Steam VR is no longer involved.

Button 10 or 12 means exactly what? Instead of ESC I mapped the button J to exit PinballX.

Hi Mike. As you said, I changed the exit button within the PinballX settings now, but I noticed no difference. Then I installed the latest VPX Version behind your link. All off a sudden, VPX VR starts now with Steam VR and not with Meta Quest link. Do you know how I can prevent this? Meta Quest Link is still defined as standard in the settings But Steam VR doesn`t seem to care Beside that, there is still no change noticable. Steam VR makes it even worse. After ending a table I not just have to end VPX manually but also now Steam VR to return to the PinballX menu. PinballX.ini log.txt

@Mike_da_Spike Your are absolutely right. I run 10.8. I was just confused after checking the "about" in VPX. But it was the changelog that I`ve seen. So I thought it`s my version number @Tom Speirs I Just tried to change the escape key. Even checked the box where you can block the escape key completely But nothing changed. Same behavior. Probably one in 10 times PinballX closed VPX corretly and returned right to the PinballX table selection. Does a video probably help? But I guess it won`t show anyhting new.

I use the control-board in my old cab. It`s the Pincontrol1. I also tested with my regular keyboard. As far as I can tell there is no difference in the behavior when I exit a table. I use the VPinballX_GL64 version 10.8 As you recommended I´ll try a different key for the exit button. I`ll come back with the results probably tomorrow.
