@HOL2001 we are experiencing a similar issue with PinballX for individuals running Nvidia v591.74 driver. If possible, can you try to revert back to the previous driver and report back?

UPDATE - Happy New Year! It's been a hot minute since my last update. I finally found a little bit of time to install Bazzite. First boot - problem. I was attempting to confirm that I could reboot, but neglected to turn off Secure Boot prior to installing Bazzite so had to register MOK. This sets the certificate for Secure Boot with the BIOS. The next issue was that the GRUB loader was not pointing to Windows 11 correctly. So I launched into Bazzite and regenerated GRUB via Terminal, but still no joy upon Restart. I then used BIOS boot menu to select UEFI loader for Windows 11 - this launched successfully. I then went to Power Options and disabled Fast Start. I then restarted. SUCCESS! The Windows 11 option now shows in GRUB. But, the text is so 🤬 small, and the time-out to select an option is too quick! So this is where I am now. I am working to learn how to modify the GRUB loader to increase menu time and use a much larger font to better work with the "10-foot view" desired. Rumor is that I can potentially "skin" this menu as well... STAY TUNED!

In my Facebook group TECH BOOT CAMP, my general recommendation is, unless your hardware is genuinely broken, don't buy new shiny things! Even with the increased prices, it is still more cost effective to repair or upgrade what you have (e.g., upgrade from HDD to SSD, adding or upgrading RAM, if the motherboard supports - go the next step up or two in CPU, etc.), and just good maintenance practices.

Anyone experiencing this error should report it to Nvidia - there is a dedicated thread: GeForce GRD 591.74 Feedback Thread ( | NVIDIA GeForce Forums Not sure if this is directly related for the issues encountered with PinballX, there is mention of issues with Steam that DLSS4.5 Model M causes the black screen for games there, while reverting to DLSS4 Model K appears to resolve it: Nvidia 591.74 Game Ready driver black screen fix :: Enshrouded General Discussions

There's quite a bit of fallout with this driver and causing black screens in game play as well. Reverting to the previous may be the only option until Nvidia provides a fix.

Was this after an Express or Complete install of the latest driver?

Andy @SalemTechSperts sums it up, in his NSFW way, the horrible state of the PC repair & upgrade business due to AI gutting the consumer RAM and storage market. Hopefully things will be different in a year or two. I am still available for repairs and upgrades, provided the customer purchases the RAM and or storage if part of their repair or upgrade. I will not be refurbishing PCs & laptops for resale that involves replacing RAM and storage until such time that the market is not so hostile to DIY and small business.

You can do single or batch file conversions - wizard driven and very straight forward. I would start with one or two files to test. Since the extension will be changed for the output (instead of EXAMPLE.F4V it will be EXAMPLE.MP4), you can convert from F4V to MP4 within the same location.

Have you tried converting some of your videos to .mp4 format?

Please attach copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files when reporting an issue.

@Tom Speirs - Since Duckie opened a private message with me, we can continue with his triage issue discussion there. I have added you to the PM he sent me. I am locking this thread accordingly.

I found another user ID under Duckie37 with the same IP address. I have deleted it. Try signing out of the forum, then back into GameEx. Not sure if it will fix it or not but possible. Report back either way, please.

Did you have any other user profiles?

Since I have an available PCI-E slot I am exploring adding a SATA expansion card. This will allow me to add a few more SATA HDDs to the mix, probably a pair of 4TB Seagates. This will bring total storage 12TB for ebooks, music, and such.

When reporting an error, please help us to help you quicker by attaching copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files to your thread. Also, please let us know what you are using to interface with PinballX, and note what actions you are attempting to perform with your buttons that are not working. Thanks!

@scuttersisn't there a way to display via genres (e.g., EM, Solid State, etc.) without creating separate XMLs for each?

Totally forgot about AGP GPUs! Hopefully some more AGP-bound titles will be released!

It isn't installed via an option, it just comes that way with the initial install. Have you searched for additional.xml files?

You could probably leverage the topper monitor feature to display the table wheel image there as well. You would have to somehow upscale the image manually.
