Fiery Phoenix

Just to say, updated via Steam and all working. Thanks dude

Not forgotten....just working away at the mo....should be back on Sunday....so don't lock the thread lol

Hi, followed this and managed to get to work, launch the tables, etc. https://forums.gameex.com/forums/topic/28881-guide-setup-zen-pinball-fx-and-pinball-m-in-pinballx-steam-version/page/2/#comment-218180 Only problem is exiting the table. Whilst it does exit in PinballX, the main program Pinball FX remains open in the background This means the more tables you open and close through PinballX for Pinball FX, the performance starts to suffer. Anyone else had this problem? Just need to make sure when table is exited, Pinball FX exits also. I think the problem is no way to close Pinball FX by a key, i.e. Esc. You need to go to setting tog with mouse and select Exit Game and then selected Yes I have Pinball FX 3 in PinballX and that closes correctly

The one where it was changed to -minimized Took that additional line out pointing to the .ini

Ok update Changing the system setting from visual pinball to custom under the other system settings in PinballX for my 3D setup does appear to have fixed the issue. Not had any crashes on exits now on loading and closing tables up multiple times My standard Visual Pinball tables still had the occasional crash, America's Most Haunted crashed every single time on exiting. However I tried deleting the additional parameter line for this system shown on page 1 and that too now appears to be working. Fingers crossed Many thanks

Ok installed new version Tested Cactus Canyon (3D system) and it crashed / egg timer on the loading of the table now (not the exit) On normal Visual Pinball, it crashed on exiting Class of 1812 and The Simpsons Pinball Party (both newer VPW tables) Relaunched and Cactus Canyon (3D) loaded and exited fine, but the 4th table I loaded (Creature from the Black Lagoon) crashed on exit. I have attached the log from this crash Launched PinballX again and selected normal Visual Pinball system. Loaded Big Bang Bar and crashed on exit. I have also attached this log Many thanks log - Big Bang Bar VPX.txt log - Simpsons VPX 3D.txt PinballX.ini

Ok will do (forgot to be fair) Quick question, if I install over my existing files, will it keep my original settings and parameters typed in for the systems? Or do I need to copy and paste my existing config folder over for example. Ta EDIT. saw in FAQ, will keep the core files....will update now

Hopefully the attached help. I should be running the VPinMAME, B2S and GL versions recommended on page 1 I have attached the log showing a crash when I attempted to play Cactus Canyon on my 3D system in PinballX Sometimes it loads and exits fine, other times maybe the 2nd or 3rd table I open crashes on closure. It just hangs on the Loading / exit screen showing an egg timer. Press the mouse button and that when the error appears and I select to close the application Forgot to add a log when a table opens fine. Can add tomorrow Log shows this...problem? 23:27:56.29 03/07/2024: Please try deleting flash.ocx in the installation folder and then reininstall PinballX. 23:27:56.29 03/07/2024: You may need to change security properties on the file. 23:27:56.29 03/07/2024: If PinballX does not initialize you should address this issue. Many thanks log.txt PinballX.ini

Would add. Appears selecting exclusive full screen hack in PinballX settings has stopped (from what I can tell) the crashes for tables under standard VPX / Visual Pinball 3DVPX is under other systems so does not have this option to select....unless there is a parameter to add?

Yes I definitely did this Is it worth a reinstall of PinballX? Although I'm guessing the issue is with VPX as no crashes on closure using FX2, 3 or Future Pinball

Renamed vpauto.exe but blue screen error when attempting to close table remains (on my 3D system) Unsure of this will help but some tables ALWAYS have the problem on closing even on normal Visual Pinball system. Big Bang Bar is one of them. One of the newer VPW tables unsure if related? Exiting table problem does NOT exist on FX2 or 3, just with VPX

Ok....think I have sorted it....for some reason FX3 showing as in admin mode. Removed and all ok. Colour roms and puppacks. That's must have been the issue Will test the 3D now...

FX3 puppacks for Aliens, Getaway, Alien Isolation were working fine and DOF not required for these (and I don't have either) Colour DMDs were.loading fine too including the new Serum ones for Attack from Mars and Creature form the Black Lagoon The error comes up via a CMD screen when loading an FX3 table. Pic below. Stating it is outdated, unsure why the colour roms have stopped. Also noticed that my cab buttons not responding in FX3 either. Strange... There is a line in the PinballX settings that allowed the colour roms and pups to work, it's still there so not sure why would suddenly stop Everything else appears fine now.

Got back late from football, will have to have a proper look tomorrow. Noticed since B2S , VPX and VPinMAME updates, getting a lot of errors Colour Roms or Pups not working in FX3, error messages showing DmdDevicePup out of date, etc But never updated that?

Cheers, will test this evening. Hopefully after England make the QF's Although I'm expecting Switzerland v Slovakia!

I'll check the windowed and exclusive full screen modes....just at work at the mo, but this may be causing an issue looking g at other threads

Cheers man Did the UAC change Only PinballX Games Manager was in admin mode but unticked this Downloaded all of the above and installed them all ok and tested. When loading the tables in PinballX, the 3D ones load correctly in anaglyph mode, but again blue circle, freeze and not responding message when closing the table

Still having probs on the 3D tables closing, but also n oticed that the crashing on normal VPX seems to happen on the newer VPW tables, i.e. new Addams Fampily, Guns n Roses, Jurassic Park Came across this before or not? On the GL version, set all to Defaults (previously for high end PC) and still crashes on exit. Stays on Loading screen on exit, blue circle appears and then the PinballX is not responding message Unsure if settings incorrect in how the 3 systems set up...I have VPX, VPX PUP PACKS AND VPX 3D VPX and VPX PUP PACKS use the same PinballX64.exe, whilst VPX 3D used the GL.exe I have setup 3 x different .ini files for each (as seen in the parameters screen in settings) in my Users / App data / VPinballX folder PinballX.ini VPX3D.ini log.txt VPX.ini VPXPUP.ini

Will do. Just out at the min, will be back home to try in a couple of hours

Quick test and VPX tables appear to be opening and closing correctly. My VPX3D tables open up in 3D though PinballX, but are crashing on closure, blue circle appears and it hangs then crashes and I need to end the task manually Logs attached log.txt PinballX.ini

Didn't get a chance last night (watching Georgia v Portugal) and at work at the mo. However finish in 3 hrs so can check later this afternoon and let you know I saw another closed threat about full screen exclusive causing issues. So will check this also

Neither....with the GL version of VPX, I am selecting Magneta/Green for the viewing option. I am using TriOviz glasses and they work really well, obviously not on all tables, but it keeps the colour superbly. I tried some old cardboard glasses and although looked good, there was no colour at all, so purchased the TriOviz glasses on eBay after some research. I also tried the ReShade add-on with the TriOviz option but I did not find it as good as the inbuilt option in the latest GL VPX Some are great at showing the depth of the table and some showing the 3D effects of the ramps, etc Tables I have found which really benefit are: Batman 66 Guardians of the Galaxy Jokerz Judge Dredd Simpsons Pinball Party Few others as well I can't remember, GotG is probably the standout however.

Coolio. Will try this later on this evening. Fingers crossed

Ok tried following it....not sure if working yet One thing I have noticed is that PinballX is crashing when I attempt to close a table. Blue circle appears and states PinballX is not responding. Anyone else had this? log.txt PinballX.ini

Cool. Didn't know about this. Interesting, will read up and test tomorrow. Many thanks
