@scutters agree this is a bit different, sorry for that and thanks for this new thread !
Attached log.txt + config file
It hangs both with my settings and with default config file from the setup.exe.
When I reinstalled completely from scratch, I started pinballX with database + config from setup and it hangs too
PBX hangs when it is launched, the startup video is not played, just the splash screen is shown, so nothing to do a priori with version of VPX ? Anyway, VPX is 10.8RC4, DX version, exclusive fullscreen
