PinballX 2.11 doesn't reach the correct table

[Cab System]

I've read everything about this trouble, here is my case :

It works perfectly until the third or fourth table, but when I launch the Fith table , it pick up sometimes "Loging" or "Season Five" or something else. After It don't reach table anymore. I have to restart or change the parameters "[TABLEFILEWOEXT]" to [TABLEFILEWOEXT] (without Quotation mark), it works until 3 or 4 table and after not...

I use FreeCamMod but anyway the trouble appears when I use pinball arcade whitout the Mod.

I tried every Wait timing.

Is anybody got an idea? Take a look at my PinballX ini file and log file. Thanks

Wait, you can launch Pinball Arcade games using a filename parameter?

Please upgrade to version 2.12 as there have been some minor changes in how PinballX handles Pinball Arcade. Please provide new copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files after you upgrade. Thanks!

Hello Draco

PinballX, TPA, FreeCamMod Updated.

PinballX does'nt pick up the tables. It goes always to season two and select" Canyon" table . By the way, when I set up PinballX to launch Free cam mod instead Steam, it launch TPA (everything works but without selecting table) and when I escape from TPA to return to PinballX, the PinballX menu does'nt work anymore, it seems to merge TPA and PinballX (I hear two sound sources), my buttons does not work, I can't escape (even by the Ctrl+Alt+Suppr menu) and I have to restart the computer.

 

Thanks a lot for your interest.

Best regards

Just so you are aware, I do not use the FreeCamMod in my setup at present. I did, however, run into a similar issue running straight from the integrated PBA setup. The issue would present itself when running the Dx11 exe.

Here is the snippet from my Pinballx.ini file for Pinball Arcade:

[PinballArcade]
Enabled=True
WorkingPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam
Executable=steam.exe
Parameters=-applaunch 238260 skipwhatsnew
WaitFor=15
Process=PinballArcade.exe

1. Exit PinballX
2. Open your pinballx.ini in Notepad
3. In the [PinballArcade] section, change your Parameters=-applaunch 238260 "[TABLEFILEWOEXT]" to Parameters=-applaunch 238260 skipwhatsnew 
4. Save the change
5. Start PinballX

Let us know if that resolves the issue.  Thanks!

Hello draco

You are a magician! It works! but not when PinballX launch FCM instead Steam. Any solution for that? 

Thanks a lot.

[Draco1962]

Likely it is because of the FCM. Have you tried editing the FCM Settings.ini file?

Change the GamePath:

; Path to the game executable.
GamePath=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\PinballArcade\PinballArcade11.exe to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\PinballArcade\PinballArcade11.exe" skipwhatsnew 

You must include the " in this command line for the skipwhatsnew switch to work. Again, I do not run this mod so I am not sure that this will work, but it does load from the Windows search bar and command line. Give this a try and let me know if it fixes the issue.

Hello Draco

It doesn't work. Windows break on a dialog box : " ...can't open  "C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\PinballArcade\PinballArcade11.exe" skipwhatsnew

Thanks anyway

Best regards

Have you posted a query regarding this in the FCM forum to see if anyone else has run into this issue? The author may be able to provide a proper command line that doesn't break the process.

[Draco1962]

You may want to refer to this post by Ginsonic. If you are using the PBA starter, then you would add skipwhatsnew right after the PBAExe="PinballArcade11.exe" in the settings.ini file, so the line would read PBAExe="PinballArcade11.exe" skipwhatsnew .

Hello

Is there anybody who could post his "Setting.ini" from FreeCamMod where appear the command parameter "skipwhatsnew". It doesn't work on my own, I tried everything... Windows break on a dialog box : " ...can't open  "C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\PinballArcade\PinballArcade11.exe" skipwhatsnew

Thanks a lot

I merged your new post with the original regarding the same issue. I am sure that someone that has this setup will respond with a suggestion.
