Hey guys, not sure if an updated occurred over the weekend on PinballFX2, but my tables do not exit properly anymore. The DMD on the 2nd screen no longer exits and stays frozen on the screen when I return to the PinballX select menu on exit of table. When I try to run another PinballFX2 table, steam tells me an app is already running. I have to close the pinballfx.exe app in Task Manager. Everything was working flawlessly this weekend, no changes were made to PinballX at all. Any ideas?

The behaviour described sounds like there is/was an update to Steam and some of the tables. Did you try to open Steam and access any of the tables outside of PinballX? Try that first and if the adverse behavior continues, please provide the usual support files - pinballx.ini and log.txt. Click the PinballX How to Ask for Help link in my sig if you are unsure where to find them and how to submit them in reply to this thread. Thanks.

Hello, thanks for the quick response. The issue of the PInballFX.exe locking up on exit appears to only happen in PinballX. I have also tried moving the DMD back to the main screen and same issue on exit.

When I test with Steam outside PinballX, games exit fine between each other and I can exit the app without any issues. It appears this issue in PinballX is happening with all tables. Perhaps PBFX2 is taking longer to save on exit and it requires more time? Not sure how to increase that variable or if PinballX kills the app as soon as you exit.

Hey guys, it just started working again...not sure what the heck is going on since i did not even reboot again. I wonder if it has to do with my network being congested with downloads this AM since the Steam version I am using on the VirtuaPin is shared with my main PC. I am not downloading anything now...

I will keep an eye on it, as no one else appears to be impacted. Thanks for your feedback.

Hopefully that is the issue. Let us know if you are able to confirm for certain.

This fix came from Jannek42:

C:\Windows\System32\Taskkill /IM "Pinball FX2.exe" /F

Hey paulohotline,

the "Batch" isn´t more than just a single line: (see above). It just says: kill the Pinball FX2.exe Task, if it still exists after I left a PBFX2 table.

Kind regards,

Jannek

------

The command itself is: taskkill

Parameters: /IM (ImageName... don´t know why it is abbreviated "/IM") -> Info that the task-Name will be specified (instead of the task-ID)

/F Specifies to forcefully terminate the process(es) -> no waiting for smooth closing

(Hopefully this is summarized correct tapping.gif)
