Pinball FX2 launch issues

[teppotee]

Trying to get this working for hours now... any attempt to launch "pinball fx2.exe" directly results to a crash ("pinball fx2.exe has stopped working etc."). I have tried steam in online and offline mode. Using Win7 64bit.

If I start it from the desktop shortcut or from steam -> works fine. With PinballX I can get it started using steam.exe with the -applaunch option. In that case PinballX returns on top after few seconds and FX2 minimizes and loses focus to background. So not really good option either.

Also tried setting table specific xml but with same results.

Any steps / settings I may have missed? Does launching the "pinball FX2.exe" work directly for everyone else?

Hi teppotee - welcome to the PinballX forums! I split your post from the Pinball FX post as that was for a request for PinballX to support the software. When reporting issues with PinballX, please submit a separate post and provide information such as:

- PinballX Version (If your version is older than current, installing the latest may resolve errors encountered)

- OS Version (i.e., XP SP3, Win 7 64-bit, etc.)

You may be requested by admins, moderators, or others to provide copies of supporting log files, xml files for the application, etc. to further troubleshoot. You may attach them in your reply to their request.
