Mustang1961

Dear Mike, thank you for your like! Dear Draco, thank you for your warm words and shown continuity in readiness to support further. I'll observe the situation and will report. Sincerely, Christian.

Dear Mike, dear Draco, thank you for your replies, these are much appreciated!!! When I added games yesterday everything runs smoothly and I hope that the flaw will fade. If not I know now measures I can try. Reason for using the old version is my motto "never touch a running system", I know that this may have disadvantages, but in the begin of my "VP-Life" (9 years ago) I had to fight many many problems and crashes. So I was very happy and careful when I reached a stable state. Again thank you to you both, Happy Holidays! Greetings from Christian.

Dear Draco, thank you for your readiness to give support for my problem. I attach the requested files freshly created minutes ago. I tried to force the error, but the game manager scrolled smoothly, so I cannot add a screenshot of the message. I hope the two files gives a hint. Greetings and happy holidays, Christian. log.txt PinballX.ini

Hello, after years (>8!) of robust operation it happens since a few days that when I use the bar-slider-button while browsing in the game list the game manager crashes with a "VScrollBar"- message. NOTHING has been changed at the system, I have 715 games in 6 systems in use. I have no idea where to search or how to fix. Can anyone give me a hint? Thanks in advance, greetings, Christian.

100% the same on my systems, Appreciate you shared that Sir! my regards, Christian.

Hi, this messages appears on my both systems, one running with 2.27 the other with 2.28. Please get us a fix. Thanks, Christian.

Hi Outhere, I tried ... it worked at first trial. I'll observe the situation (the original parameter setting worked time and again correctly), with more experience I'll give here a feedback. Thank you very much, greetings, Christian.

yes, this setting causes the trouble (see chart in my initial message) ... anyway, thank you for your intention to help, greetings, Christian.

Hello Community, I have two installations, one with a GTX750 and the other with a GTX760. Both are running correctly with VP921 (Others), VP991 (VP), VPX (Others) and FP (FP). The installation with the GTX760 shows in most of the loading of a FP- table not the loading screen but instead a full white screen (playfield monitor, only). When the loading process is ended the game plays correctly. Leaving the game and return to the PinballX selection menue is without any remarkable. In another thread that has been closed already I found the hint that the reason is in the parameter line for starting the game (in both cases I am using BAM & its FPloader.exe): GTX750: /STAYINRAM/open "[TABLEPATH]\[TABLEFILE]" /play /exit works fine GTX760: /STAYINRAM/open "[TABLEPATH]\[TABLEFILE]" /play /exit crashes /STAYINRAM /open "[TABLEPATH]\[TABLEFILE]" /play /exit showns temporarily white screen, but works note the difference is in the "[SPACE]" behind STAYINRAM Thank you for any suggestion, Christian.

Hello Community again, after thinking again and again about the issue I made today a countercheck: I turned the screen manually in the correct operation position and started the game (e.g. Big Game) directly from the desktop with the VP installation I call usually from PinballX. No error occurs, after leaving VP the backglass disapeared as it should. Question: How can I manage to address this point to get it fixed with the one of the next PinballX- updates? Thank you all for your help, Christian.

Hi Draco1962, I updated my system to 2.06 without any trouble. However the problem stays the same. Hi 32assassin, I tried now to convert my rotation command into a batch file, but irotate.exe /rotate = 90 /exit written as first line of the batch file "rot.bat" and called in "Launch after Executeable" does not work. To make sure the rot.bat can find the irotate.exe I wrote the rot.bat into the path where irotate is. Further I left the path setting in the "launch After Working Path" pointing on irotate as in the initial setting. Do you have an idea how to call with the batch file irotate to turn the screen? Any advise is welcome, Christian.

However I found a "full installer" only for the up to date 2.06 version and I want to avoid any damages to my settings, it was a long way to get the system to where I am now. I begun with Future Pinball in April and a month ago I added Visual Pinball. When I am updating with the "full installer" to 2.06 version will I keep all my settings (I have 112 tables installed)??? Hello 32assassin, I have checked it at VPuniverse and the backglasses causing the fault are the up to date versions. But your idea to use a batch command (I remember the good old DOS times...) sounds logically to me. Thank you for giving me the command lines. I will try that when the update to 2.06 will not cover the problem. Again thank you both for your kind intention to help me. I'll send a feedback how the issue moves forward. Christian.

Dear Draco1962 & dear 32assassin, thank you for your replies. Today I am short in time. Respective action and feedback will follow. best regards, Christian

Hello Community, I have a 2 screen installation, DMD is switched off (in the table script). At a few tables the B2S Backglass Server EXE is not closed when exiting the table. This caused that the backglass of the table remains on the screen when I am scrolling through the available tables. If a new table is ordered the backglass monitor is refeshed correcty with the appropriate glass. When I have left PinballX completely I can see that B2S Backglass Server is as task still alive (this can go up to multiple numbers of this EXE). How can I manage that PinballX closes B2S Backglass Server exe always when leaving a table - or must the modification in the B2S Backglass Server EXE or in the script of the table or where?
