Hi everyone - posting here because I have run out of leads after searching the existing posts. Recently, in the last 2-3 updates to Pinball X, my Visual Pinball tables stopped displaying the B2S backglass in Pinball X. Instead of the backglass image, my 2nd screen is just black. I can see the PinballX Back Glass.exe is running, however. What's strange is that if I launch the tables from Pinball X, the backglass loads fine in VPX. Stranger yet, backglass displays for other systems (ex: Pinball FX2). I have tried a multitude of trial and error steps including: Reinstalling Pinball X & uninstalling / fresh install to a new folder Uninstalling / Reinstalling Visual Pinball X and VPinMAME Removing Media / Re-adding Media Removing B2S Server / re-installing / re-registering Making sure I'm running Pinball X as Administrator Toggling "Auto Position DirectB2S" and "Use DirectB2S in Front End" in Settings I'm stuck - any assistance would be greatly appreciated. My latest LOG file, INI and XML for Visual Pinball are attached. FYI, I am running a 3 screen cabinet setup with the "3rd screen" being a PinDMD3. Not sure if it matters, but my DirectB2S backglass files are in the same folder as my VPX tables as well as identical copies in the PinballX\Media\Visual Pinball\Backglass folders (with copies in both Backglass Images and Backglass Videos folders) - same names as their corresponding Table files. Thanks for your help - techturder Visual Pinball.xmllog.txtPinballX.ini CC @Tom Speirs

Hi Tom, VPX 10.7 process threads are a lot slower to close than in 10.6 on exit (in 10.6 the threads close almost instantly, in 10.7 on my desktop they take 5secs). This causes a longer black screen on table exit in PinballX than before, showing for the full 5 secs before the Exit Screen image (if enabled) is shown. I think this is because PinballX monitors the vpinballx.exe threads and waits for them to exit completely before doing anything else, as on my desktop where i have VP set up as an 'Other System' if i change the system type from visual pinball to custom the black screen time is a lot less (but i assume this comes at the cost of PinballX not retrieving high score data etc).. This time in the logs between Exit System Control Pressed and Created DirectX BackGlass Window, here for the other system using visual pinball as system type; 08:18:32.72 25/01/2022: C:\Visual Pinball\VPinballX.exe -minimized /play -"C:\Visual Pinball\Tables\Attack from Mars (Bally 1995) MOD1.vpx" 08:18:32.74 25/01/2022: C:\PinballX32\vpauto.exe 08:18:59.81 25/01/2022: Found PinMAME ROM: afm_113 08:19:01.94 25/01/2022: Visual Pinball Player window foreground: 29 08:19:10.08 25/01/2022: Exit System Control Pressed 08:19:15.86 25/01/2022: Created DirectX BackGlass Window and here using 'custom' as system type; 08:26:36.06 25/01/2022: C:\Visual Pinball\VPinballX.exe -minimized /play -"C:\Visual Pinball\Tables\Attack from Mars (Bally 1995) MOD1.vpx" 08:27:14.33 25/01/2022: Exit System Control Pressed 08:27:16.54 25/01/2022: Created DirectX BackGlass Window Is there anything you can do about the black screen time for VPX 10.7 exit from a PinballX point of view (e.g. showing exit screen as soon on Exit System Control Pressed event or if not enabled just show the playfield video straight away and then wait for the vpx threads to exit in the background)?

Hi Everyone I got a 2 screen cab with PinballX 3.57, VPX 10.6 BETA, Win10, AMD RADEON Card All my VPX games work great but when I decided to download and try 'The Addams Family (Bally 1992) v2.1 uncompressed' (I've tried all the different versions 2.1, 1.4.1 etc.) with PinballX, the Backglass loads but the playfield loads and doesn't display. I have to Alt-Tab to the Visual Pinball Player then it pops up and all is OK. If I load it from within VPX it works fine. I've tried re-loading the ROM, deleting the ROM keys in the Registry, still no good. I'm reluctant to download and install latest PinballX over the top of my current PinballX folder in case other stuff stops working unless anyone can tell me it's definitely a bug and fixed in the latest version. Happy to attach various config files to help if you tell me exactly which ones. -
I don't use the "pause/in game" feature a lot, but it could be handy when phone rings, or your wife wants to have attention. It works fine with VP9 and PFX3, but most of my tables are VPX tables. When I pause in VPX a table and go back to the table, the 'focus' is still on the PinballX window instead of the VPX table. I see the VPX table on my mainscreen, but the buttons won't work. In task manager I see that PinballX is focused. Tabbing to the table all is working (but lost ball in meantime) I think this happend when I enabled "Fore exclusive Fullscreen mode" within VPX. anyone else experience this, or knows a fix for it ? log.txt [SETTINGS].log PinballX.ini -
This has bugged me for a while, i'm really not sure when it started happening, but from pressing exit in pinballx when playing a Visual Pinball X table it takes some time to get back to the wheel, anywhere 10-20secs... Is this normal with latest pinballx, or is it something to do with my system? Cab is offline so defender disabled and no antivirus installed, lav reinstalled but no difference, and SSD used not HD. My visual pinball tables are under 'Other Systems' (approx 200 total tables) but don't think that's a factor, i added one to the regular Visual Pinball list and that had the same slow exit, also the same with & without the launch after batch file. Bad (slow) exit example here; I've looked at some other log files in the forums and they too seem a bit slow around 10 secs, maybe not as slow as mine but still slower than i'd expect. So my questions... How long does it take on your system to exit back to the wheel from vpx? and any ideas what could be slowing me down (if indeed i am slow)? Thanks for your thoughts! log.txt PinballX.ini

I have my system fully functional using Visual Pinball but when I use PinballX my addressable LED strips (2) one each side are not working, everything else works in PinballX including rear flasher bar. Of course I am not an expert on the coding or xml, I do see there is an error loading the plugin in the log but can't figure out how to fix it. I can register the object in Direct Output, I run the plugin manager in PinballX and it shows up but when I go to Configure it gives me an error that it can find path. I am sure this is something simple but I just need another set of eyes to look at it. I have attached files and logs. As always thanks to everybody for your help! Scott.

Running with this option turned off, all is good , but for performance reasons I would like to utilize the exclusive full-screen mode. Is there any solution ??

Hi I have added VPX to ‘ other systems’ and some tables are working. However there are several tables that do not work through Pinballx. They work fine outside of the front end. Some of them show line errors in the script and some just get stuck on the loading screen. Any ideas?

I see a noticeable loss of table play performance inside PinballX vs running VPX 10.4beta. This is the first front end I have ever put over either VP9 or VPX. Any thoughts on boosting performance inside PinX? The tables are unplayable when compared to a straight launch in Visual Pinball. Heeeeelp! =)

Why PinballX start tables so awfully slow? If I start a table (VPX or VPT) directly, it takes 3 to 5 seconds. When I start the same tables with PinballX, it takes nearly 50 seconds! What happened in PinballX, that slows down the start so dramatically?

I am running the latest PinballX on windows 7 64-bit (Ultimate) in a 3 display cabinet. I am having an issue only with VPX tables in that the backglasses will not display when started from PinballX. It isn't an issue with the VPX tables because I can start them manually without the front end and the backglass displays with no issues. I believe backglass server is running because DOF seems to function normally.even when starting from PinballX but there is a black screen on the back box. VP9 and PM5 are running on the same cabinet and their backglasses display just fine. I've read the threads on "Hide Backglass" in the Game Setup tool. I've tried all of those suggestions but the backglasses will not display for VPX tables. I would appreciate any insight you may have as to what could cause this. Best Regards
