Cannot load Visual Pinball tables in full screen with PinballX on Surface Pro Tablet

[Tureby]

Hey there...

Just tried PinballX for playing VP on my Surface. I cannot get the VP tables to run in full screen when using PinballX, it's displayes the tables in window'ed.

The tables playes fine in full screen when launching them from VP.

I've attached a screendump of the Picture PinballX displayes the tables windowed.

Here's my configuration:

Sorry, I realised you are talking Visual Pinball and not Future Pinball.

Please post your pinballx.ini and log.txt (Click here for additional information on how to find these files and others that may be required). If you are unable to use the BBC codes provided in the instructions for copying and pasting your pinballX.ini and log.txt files, you may attach files by clicking the "More Reply Options" button in the lower right of the Reply window, then click on the "Choose Files..." button to attach them.

Are you running full screen windowed?

If not, you might want to give that a go.

How???

[Draco1962]

Use the Settings application. Go to the Display Settings section. Change Fullscreen Windowed from No to Yes. Click next arrow, then exit.

Tried that same result as Full Screen Windows = false.

So still the VP tables is display as windowed..

Any other suggestions???

Could this be some MS Surface glitch - I never realized this was your platform..

is this applicable?

Hmmm....The VP tables are fine (full screen) when launching them from the VP editor...

[tthurman]

Talk about a win win situation, it will be interesting to see if that fixes it. Staying current with these integrated video drivers is most always a good thing anyway.

And the tables launches fine in full screen using HyperPin. But that app is preeeetty slow...And PinballX is preeeeetty fast...

I don't wanna mess with the video drivers since they will be overwritten by the Surface Windows Updates....
