FP exits to desktop...

I feel like I've read about this but can't for the life of me find it...

When I exit any FP table it exits to desktop. I can pull plunger (enter) and PBX pops up (still selected on task bar). This isn't new, I've just been living with it :)

Probably me and key mapping, any ideas???

I have the very latest BAM and that seems to have fixed my issue similar to yours.

Only issue I have now is that every now and then when exiting a VP table it exits to the desktop.

Very peculiar and very erratic.

I sorta fixed my problem... I ended up setting vp to esc since fp has to be esc. I switched pbx to exit on "b"

I like it because now esc exits emulators and exiting pbx is a 2 button process and less likely to be pressed by players.

So I think your problems might be having pbx set to exit on same key as emulator...?

I figured something out today- everything works fine on my cabinet except for exiting one single VP table - Circus Voltaire.

Every single time I exit Circus Voltaire it pops straight back to the windows desktops.

I have to ALT+TAB back to PinballX.

Very unusual. Not sure where to even begin troubleshooting this one.

I'm thinking perhaps something in the table script.

away on business so i cant try the exit button change.

I have PinX as well a VP set to Exit on "Q." All my VP table exit to PinX (including Circus Voltare).

Maybe i will try setting FP to exit on Q and see what happens...

Will keep you posted.

Will be able to test tomorrow (9/5)

well i tried the Key mappings...same issue. :(

Hitting enter after FP exits will bring up PBX again so I am thinking maybe we launch a script after FP closes that basically just hits enter...

Anyone up for writing the script?

In PbX my "Quit" key is mapped to "Escape" and my "Exit Emulator" key is mapped to "E". When I leave a table, whether FP or VP, I press "E" and have not had this issue, it goes straight back to PbX. And of course "Escape" exits PbX. Worth a try?

Oh also, I run 32bit Windows Vista (not by choice ugghhhh). Maybe y'all are running newer OS's and that has something to do with it. For once my crappy OS might be working for me instead of very, very, VERY against me?? lol

this didn't happen in the old version of pinballx. hmm I think I have to check the ini file and make sure that the exit key has the proper value for my ESC key .

mate try this "Executable=Future Pinball.exe"

I remember with hyperpin it was funny on the name.

So if you are using BAM change the exe from FPLoader.exe to Future Pinball.exe

Also check and update your video card driver

your parameters for future are wrong.. also missing a space.. and your launching desktop after exit? WHY? also visual parameters...im surprised that works!! double "=" and...looks like future pinball parameters for visual pinball but at least it has missing space! :)
