Pinball Arcade with default settings doesn't launch

[Psy-Q]

I just tried to start a TPA table from PinballX with the default settings for TPA. Steam does do "something", and something launches, but then nothing happens until the timeout runs out, then I'm returned to PinballX.

I think I have some reading comprehension issues: Is it possible to launch specific TPA tables directly from within PinballX? If so, what's required beyond the default options in PinballX's TPA section? Some people mention external launchers, but others say that built-in TPA support should be enough, so I'm not sure.

Meanwhile it manages to launch TPA, but not select a table (the problem was that TPA silently quits if it encounters a changed screen resolution without having a matching change to its configuration).

After some time of sticking around in TPA's main screen I tried to exit TPA, but it just hung. The music kept playing but its showed a black screen with very thin grey borders on top and bottom. Quitting PBX outside of TPA didn't change anything. I had to kill TPA in the task manager. I'm not sure how to determine the value for <gridposition>, maybe it's just the wrong position pointing at a table I didn't buy (?).

To determine the grid position with TPA is actually pretty straight forward. It goes alphabetically by the game name. While the actual first table is named The Addams Family, they stripped "The" from the title. I have attached my pinball arcade.xml as an example as I have all of the tables to date. I recommend managing the xml via Notepad++ as it is a better editor than Notepad. 

In order to know the grid position of a table, you have to load TPA outside of PinballX and see where it falls after tables you already possess and adjust the numbering of the grid position accordingly.

I hope this is of help.
