[RESOLVED] Pinball Arcade not going to the selected table

[Draco1962]

Hi Tom - in order for the integrated Pinball Arcade to select the correct table, do you have to do anything like we had to for PB FX2 (i.e. select the number that corresponds to the table's location under My Tables or similar)? When PBA opens, it tends to go to other seasons and is a PITA to go back to My Tables to select the table I am attempting to launch.

[Tom Speirs]

Yes, and it should automatically go to tables.

[Draco1962]

Mine is not going directly to the tables. Instead, it is loading the Previous Seasons and then trying to open one of the tables from within. I was attempting to load Bram Stoker's Dracula.

EDIT: I went ahead and split this to its own topic. Here are my support files and my Pinball Arcade.xml files:

Try extending the wait for. If not I will need a screenshot of PBA on that home page or a video of what it is doing would be great.

I do see you have the wrong command line. It should not be sending the table name as we spoke about before but I doubt that is the issue.

[Draco1962]

After the conversation in the other thread I thought that the command line was correct. Anyhow, I ticked the Tick and set it to defaul settings and increased the WaitFor time to 20:

[PinballArcade]Enabled=TrueWorkingPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\SteamExecutable=steam.exeParameters=-applaunch 238260WaitFor=20Process=PinballArcade.exe

[Tom Speirs]

In which case a video would be really helpful.

[Draco1962]

Sorry, when I put in the bbc code it stripped the response below it. This is resolved. It is working perfect now after testing through about 6-7 tables randomly selected from the wheel.
