  1. Thanks for the help. Looking into fonts, it looks like Windows update may have uninstalled all my fonts. I reinstalled the fonts and everything is working again.
  2. Thanks tthurman, I will also check that windows update. I'm away from my machine until this weekend but you all have given me some good things to dig into. When I reinstalled, I installed over the existing installation. Is it better to completely remove it first?
  3. I only tried to update GameEx after it stopped working. I've had it installed for several months and it was working fine on Friday night. The only change on my system was a lengthy Windows 10 update on Saturday.
  4. I have tried several other themes with the same error. I don't remember if one of them was default-default. I'll give that a try this weekend. I also didn't see which font was causing the error so now that you pointed that out I'll check to make sure it's still installed.
  5. I am seeing this same error. It was working fine prior to today. My Windows 10 just went through an upgrade. I tried a reinstall of GameEx, still no luck. log.txt GameEx.ini
  6. I get all the frustration. I still like PBA and plan to continue to play it on my cab. With all the difficulties testing PinballX built-in integration, I decided to play around will autohotkey to see if I could get that to work. After hours playing changing up key combinations and timings, I threw in the towel. The interface is designed for touch, not keyboard manipulation. Given some more time to noodle on it, it dawned on me to try mouse input to simulate touch. After a couple hours of scripting, I have a solution that's working reliably. My setup is included below for anyone interested in giving it a try. Pinball Arcade it setup under Other Systems. I call my table selection script from startpba.bat which rotates the screen, runs my autohotkey script, and then starts the PBA Free Cam Mod. [TABLEFILE] is used to pass the table name to the script. [System_4] Name=Pinball Arcade SystemType=0 WorkingPath=C:\Pinball\Steam TablePath= Executable=steam.exe Parameters=-applaunch 238260 LaunchBeforeWorkingPath=C:\Pinball\PBACamMod LaunchBeforeExecutable=startpba.bat LaunchBeforeParameters="[TABLEFILE]" LaunchAfterWorkingPath=C:\Pinball\PBACamMod LaunchAfterExecutable=endpba.bat LaunchAfterParameters= Enabled=True WaitForProcess=PinballArcade11.exe LaunchBeforeEnabled=True LaunchBeforeWaitForExit=False LaunchBeforeHideWindow=True LaunchAfterEnabled=True LaunchAfterWaitForExit=True LaunchAfterHideWindow=True You will need AutoHotKey installed for the pba.ahk to run. Make sure to set the AutoHotKey.exe to run as administrator. endpba.bat pba.ahk Pinball Arcade.xml PinballX.ini startpba.bat
  7. Are you using the TPA Free Cam Mod? I've seen this issue using the Mod but not without. It's due to the Mod resizing the screen.
  8. Ok, I finally have game selection working. Here's what I found: When PinballX is launched from a portrait screen, [Display] rotate=0 in PinballX.ini, game selection can't find the "Press here to Start" When PinballX is launched from a landscaped screen, [Display] rotate=270 in PinballX.ini, game selection works fine
  9. Instead of using the A-Z tab for table selection, why not use the Table Packs tab? In the "Table Packs" tab, the table are all ordered based on release date. There will be no need to modify the selection grid for old tables every time a new table is released. A pre-built xml for table selection could be used based on grid size.
  10. Game selection isn't working for me either. When the PBA start screen pops-up, I can hear it trying to select, but it's like it can't find "Press to Start" to move to the next screen. This is a cabinet setup. My grid is 4 colums by 18 rows. PinballX.ini log.txt Pinball Arcade.xml
  11. With the new interface, grid configuration by the user shouldn't be needed anymore. If you go to the table packs tab for table selection, all games should be in the same location on all setups, even as they add new games.
  12. Issue resolved. I completely uninstalled Comodo and the keyboard now works! Turning it off did not work, I had to uninstall.
  13. I went out and bought a cheap game controller. The good news is it works. Still completely baffled why the keyboard won't work.
  14. I went back to check the install that I thought was working. Completely different hardware and setup, and the keyboard isn't working there either. I must have been clicking with the mouse when I thought it was working. Could I be messing something really basic up?
  15. I haven't. I don't currently have anything like that available to try. I have tried two keyboards with no luck there. Should PinballX work with a keyboard alone?
