Unable to get Pinball FX2 to work

**connorsdad** · July 26, 2015

Could do with some help re direct starting of tables please guys, I have tried various things in Parameters but just cannot get it to work. I have tried with/without the table path filled in and I have also added the .pxp extension to the game names in the xml too.

The method I used before was the Nukelauncher method, I have also swapped the exe location to the pinball fx2.exe. The location of my installation is C:\Program Files (x86)\Pinball FX2

Thanks

HI, I split this out from the long and evergoing thread. Can you provide copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files for us to take a look?

Based upon your post, you are running the the non-Steam version, correct?

**connorsdad** · July 26, 2015

That is correct, will post ini and log soon.

First, if you would be so kind as to download and install the latest PinballX version. Your log.txt shows 2.01 and we are up to 2.02 now. After that, we can take a look at your Pinball FX2 settings. Thanks!

Thanks! The steps outlined in the guide pertain to Steam and were pioneered here when Jannek encountered some similar issues. There are some other things we need to address first before we get th o that.

Not sure what is going on here unless somehow you managed to gack up your pinballx.ini and splice Pinball FX2 and Future Pinball (Sytems 1 & 2) together in one major Charlie Foxtrot:

I am willing to bet that is one reason you're not able to play Pinball FX2.

**Draco1962** · July 27, 2015

I also noticed that there does not appear to be any lines in your pinballx.ini for integrated Pinball FX2 support.

Not sure what you mean. I have them setup as individual systems and they work fine unless I try to get fx2 to direct start. I don't use the built in fx2 method.

**Draco1962** · July 28, 2015

A normal pinballx.ini is going to show System 1, 2 etc. as distinct systems. The copy you provided shows only System 1, then jumps to System 3. If you look again at what I posted, you will see that there is no System 2 and extra fields that reference Future Pinball. Can you provide a new copy of the pinballx.ini since your upgrade to current?

**connorsdad** · July 28, 2015

I'm away from my cab at the minute. The reference to futureDMD is disabled (I used to use it to display scores when scrolling through tables, I had various systems disable it on launch and enable it again on close, it's not used anymore).

Can't recall why I would skip to system 3 and not fill in sys2, unless I removed it somewhere along the way.

Edit

I've just looked at the ini again, system 2 is after system 3.

**Draco1962** · July 28, 2015

For some reason it has malformed the pinballx.ini so we may have to perform a little surgery to get things back in proper order. One question I have for you is regarding your Pinball FX2 settings. You show a Steam data path referenced. Are you certain you are not using the Steam version or did you grab that path from someone else's example?

No I'm definitely not using the steam version.

Isn't it just something I'm doing wrong regarding the parameters entry ?

**Draco1962** · July 28, 2015

We shall see! I have "reconstructed" your pinballx.ini file. Please rename your current pinballx.ini to pinballx.ini.old before trying to use the one attached. Please post a new log.txt file after you run PinballX with the new pinballx.ini file and let me know of any errors. Thanks!

At least your system didn't blow up with the corrected pinballx.ini!

OK, rename the current pinballx.ini to pinballx.ini.new, download and place this pinballx.ini in its place. Just so you are aware, this change enables the integrated Pinball FX2 support (with no supporting scripts in the section) and disables the System 1 setup you have at present.

pinballx.ini

Please report back with a new log file and let me know of any errors or successes. Thanks!

Thanks for your time and patience but it still isn't working. I have restored everything to how it was before so that all my artwork etc corresponds. I will try to get pbfx2 working using cli outside of pinballx first, if I can't get it to work I'll carry on using the excellent nuke launcher

Once again, thanks for helping.

You're welcome and sorry I couldn't get this one going for you.

What does your XML look like?, as in does it point to the correctly named .pxp file.

With the old system that did not matter but now it needs to be correct for [TABLEFILE] to be passed to the exe itself?.

1. Why don´t you use the integrated "Pinball FX2" System?

...but instead you´re usinf "System 1"?

2. Are you sure that you´re using the correct XML-File?

Your *.ini shows that PinballX is loading "Pinball FX2"-database and also "PinballFX2"-database.

...be sure not to use the wrong one.

3. Maybe you try to set it up as I tried to describe in the Guide - It sounds like this helped some People:

http://www.vpforums.org/index.php?showtopic=31994#entry315841

4. Somebody wrote that the non-steam version won´t be updated at the same time as the steam-version.

So maybe there is no Support for directly starting the tables via Parameters right now? I don´t know...

Kind regards,

Jannek

1. I am using the system I already had setup before pbfx2 was integrated into pbx.

2. I am using the correct xml, pbx loads the integrated fx2 xml even though the system is disabled.

3. I tried the guide, didn't work.

4. I think this could be my issue, could I just copy someones exe over the top of mine ?

Hey Connorsdad,

I don´t know if it is possible to do so and wether this will work. Sorry, but I even don´t know a "non-Steam" Version of PBFX2.

Maybe you ask over at the official ZEN Studios Forum regarding this update-issue.

I´m sure BarbieBobomb will help if it is possible: http://forum.zenstudios.com/forum.php

Kind regards,

Jannek

@connorsdad - Not sure as to what you are asking here. If you purchased the program, you should have the .exe to reinstall the program.
