So glad you mentioned this....

I'm not crazy after all

I am testing submitting hiscores from pinballx , using plugin pinemhi leaderboard but every once in a while the score is the same as the previous one.

So i kept thinking it was my program that did that......tried it out not using the plugin and indeed....the problem occurs.

Maybe the exit method is causing this?

Strange thing is it doesn't happen all the time (for me)

[sjorge]

This happens to me too.

So I hit F3 if I make a highscore, just to be sure it saves.

[randr]

I can confirm with 100% certainty its a pinballx issue. Tried for hours and is only a problem through frontend. It used to work just fine but couldn't tell you what version broke it...FYI I tried moving vpinmame install, everything is admin rights read write, deleted all nvram files but front end just don't allow saving of nvram.

[randr]

my juke box also was "broke" around same time I script it to backglass and jukebox is now behind black windowed backglass..again not sure what version broke that either.

I should save old versions so I can go back and inform what version works and what version don't so maybe would be easier for tom to find issue.

[randr]

did some digging around and found version 1.67 and works(50% of time)or less in that version..1.71-1.72 not working..

[Draco1962]

Please post your pinballx.ini and log.txt files, fellas! Tom will need these. Thanks!

Just to add a comment to this ... I have only been using PinX since 1.74 but the way that it shuts down VP is not working correctly as it does not allow DOF to exit properly meaning that VP was not shut down correctly. This means that the command to kill the LedWiz, that comes from DOF, never happens and so whatever toys were running when you exited the table back to PBX continue to run until the next table is selected. If you run only VP this works correctly by hitting the "Q" 2 times.

Not to hijack the thread but these two are linked issues and also after reading this I tested again and only 25% of the time the high score saves. Out of 10 games played and high scores made 2 of them saved. All 5 games only in VP saved just fine.

I would like to see this fixed as this is the second time I have posted about VP not exiting correctly even though the Frontend works fine.

[nullPointer]

It's basically a forgone conclusion that Tom will see this thread, and followup accordingly with due diligence. In the meantime I would urge patience. I appreciate that this issue may have been reported on more than one occasion, but bear in mind that PinballX is maintained by a single person and that he supports several software projects simultaneously in addition to having a full time job. Tom can only work so quickly no matter how entitled anyone may feel that he respond instantly to bug reports.

[Les73gtx]

I was not rushing at all and in fact Tom took time for me a couple weeks ago to figure out a stupid mistake I made. Heck, I am probably wrong about this also but it was related so I wanted to report my findings.

Great work and thanks Tom

Les, i f you don't mind, please post your pinballx.ini and log.txt files so Tom can have a more complete sampling. Thanks!

[Tom Speirs]

Is this just when exiting via in game?

[randr]

I never thought about it as I use a clear script but les is correct ledwiZ does leave ports on when exiting in pinballx so maybe VRAM not saving is related! As both nvram and ledwiz clear when running vp direct.

[Tom Speirs]

I think it just needs a delay waiting for VP for close but I am not even sure it is possible to close VP without killing it. If it is something that used to work though there is hope!

See if the attached is any better,

PinballX.zip

[Dna Disturber]

Isn't it possible to send the close vp and wait till vpm window has been closed and then go on with the rest of the actions?

That would ensure that vpm closes correctly.

no change for me... i tried with and without clear script and still no nvram save.

Is odd really....how does hyperpin differ from pinballx when it closes VP?

I can remember they had problems using the esc button...maybe you could try mapping the exit to another key?

For instance the e button...

[randr]

I am using "e" maybe I should try "esc" instead? Lol heck can't hurt to try

[Dna Disturber]

I am using "e" maybe I should try "esc" instead? Lol heck can't hurt to try

Well that can't be it then

I am using esc and have the same problem

Couldn't test it myself as i was at work...

[randr]

I tried "e", "esc" both ways and same result nvram just will not save. I wonder if its just a win7 issue? "e" or"esc" running vp direct saved nvram either way

[Les73gtx]

sorry this is late but I had a couple of errors with these logs I am posting

Exit is still mapped to esc for me in PinX and VP exits using "Q"

I have not tried the new exe you posted Tom ... I will tomorrow ... it is late here.

[randr]

Interesting. We all have vpinmame in programs folder...while it works fine from vp direct I wonder if pinballx has a problem writing to program folder of windows?

[Tom Speirs]

I think I have fixed it and provided a better solution. I also noticed the playfied video freezing up after launching a few tables which hopefully is fixed now too.

Please try the attached. As always on some OS's PinballX needs to run as admin.
