Can't bring DMD to front with Visual Pinball tables

[oscarsalcedo]

Hi all,

I have been trying to figure this out for a couple of weeks now, and I have not been able to google my way through the problem.

When I launch a B2S Visual Pinball table from PinballX, the DMD loads, but it will not be visible. It does show if I ALT+TAB between windows, but when I switch to it, it will not come to the foreground at all. If I run the tables directly from within Visual Pinball, the DMD shows where it should (see attached image). The funny thing is that the DMD was visible at some point when running from PinballX, but no longer.

Setup details:

• 3 screens: #1 Playfield, #2 Backglass, #3 DMD
• Running VPX, with vpinmame (cab version), PinballX - Latest versions of all 
• All tables are B2S tables and the Backglass loads properly
• I have the latest codecs required for PinballX installed (if that makes a difference)

Thanks!

Do you have HideDMD set to false in your visual pinball.xml file? If so, change it to true.

Let us know if this fixes the issue.

It is set to True. The issue still exists

Hi,

 

Bumping this, it's reaaally frustrating :/

[Draco1962]

I understand that you are frustrated,  but bumping a thread in less than a day after the initial post and responses won't get you the help you need any faster.  Please be patient.

[oscarsalcedo]

Understood. My apologies!

Is NBA Fastbreak the only table you have tried in PinballX? Have you tried any other table and dB2S?

[oscarsalcedo]

At one point, they all worked great; just recently, no DB2S tables show me the DMD. Again, the DMD is there when you ALT+TAB but it will not come to the front

[Carny_Priest]

Did you install anything new?

[oscarsalcedo]

I did not

Did you recently upgrade video drivers? Are you running VPX using true full screen?
