Maybe I am just incredibly tired and stressed out from this, but I just downloaded the new Aliens vs Pinball pack for PFX2 on steam, but how do I get it to show those tables in the front end of PinballX?

I tried using the games manager and adding it myself, but that didn't work. I tried deleting the xml file in the database, hoping it would repopulate with the update, that didn't work either and so I had to uninstall PinballX and re-install it.

I did this and it shows my old games, but not the new aliens vs pinball tables?

I just bought the PvZ table today. I ended up manually adding the game in Game Manager. I just entered in the information by hand for each section and manually selected the media (playfield, wheel image, etc.). I'm sure there's an automagic solution, but that was the quickest way to do it for me personally. If you do it that way keep in mind that the new tables may change the grid positions of your current tables. The last 3 tables on my last row all shifted 1 position with the addition of the new table.

Keep in mind that if you are using the integrated Pinball FX2 support and not the Nukelauncher for Pinball FX2, then the grids positions do not require an update.

@Kustom KidThat is what I was having the issue with. I have no problem manually adding them, but when I launched PinballX it was there, but when I hit enter to play, it just froze at the loading screen.

@Draco1962 I will try a few things here again and if it fails I will do that. Thanks Draco.

 

OK so I found out what the problem was, for some reason I am getting the "The publisher could not be verified" message now so it's waiting for me to choose run before it will launch. I have no idea how that happened now when it was fine yesterday.

I found this thread here explaining the same issue. The is though, when I uncheck the box that says ask me this everytime it won't save that option. Everytime I try to go back in and run a table it asks me the same thing.

I have looked around for a way to stop getting this message but I am not having any luck. I have windows 10, maybe that is why? But it was working yesterday no problem. I also have it set to administrator rights (both pinballx and pinball fx2)

Since Pinball FX2 is loading via Steam, maybe you need to make sure that you have Steam set to Load as Administrator as well? You may want to read this article for a possible solution.

Also, so far as the new tables are concerned, make sure that the games are properly named in your pinball fx2.xml; file. They should be as follows:

Alien Isolation - Game name=Alien_Isolation

Aliens - Game name=Aliens

Alien Vs. Predator - Game name=Alien_vs_Predator

@Draco1962 Thanks Draco, I do have the games named properly, so that's not the issue.

I cannot seem to get it. Now I am getting hit with the "Steam is not currently running, it must be running to play" type message. Even when I have steam literally open in the background. I am hoping this is just a windows 10 bug and when I go to install on my windows 7 cabinet I won't have this issue. It's driving me nuts.

I doubt it is a bug with Windows 10. I have been running it on Windows 10 for well over 6 months now. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Steam client?

Also, would you mind posting the files previously requested so we can better try to guide you?

I will uninstall and reinstall steam today when I get home and see what happens. If it doesn't change then yes I will post those.

Thank you

Update: Here is my pinballx.ini and log file.

Note: I have Steam installed in my C:/ directory, but I install games from Steam on my E:/ drive
I haven't tried re-installing anything yet, I want to see if there is an easy fix before I do that.

Update 2: Well, I found out why. I didn't have the steam exe set to launch then pinball fx exe. Silly mistake I overlooked many times.

Thanks
