I just tried this on a fresh install on my desktop, with exactly the same results. Since I'm in a desktop computer without the settings set to use all screens, I could see VPX window on one of the monitors. When launching the game from VisualPinball system, and then closing the table, I could see that the VPX window took a second or two to close; however, when launching from the VP from "other systems", it closed immediately, as if PinballX killed the VPX process in a more "radical" way.
The kill.bat is something that the manufacturer had in the config, but it's disabled (LaunchAfterEnabled=False). Either way, in the fresh install I don't have a reference to that bat and the same issue happens.
As you mention this is working fine for you, could you attach your .ini file so I can take a look (or at least the section for the VP setup within "other systems")
This is very strange indeed. However it doesn't happen all the time... in the log there is a 2nd launch of CC but it only takes 10 seconds (like yours). When the issue happens I can see the DMD and backglass, but the table screen still has the loading logo. Could it be some issue with the logo hanging there for longer than it should? Any ideas to fix this?
Well... even though they offer support I'm not too happy with the level of service tbh. They haven't really managed to fix any of the issues I told them and had to fix myself... the table is very well built, but support could definitely be better.
I don't know if they pay any money for this, but that's a good point. I just happily became a Patreon Keep up the good work!
