PFX2 Takes a few "esc" hits to exit table

**bent98** · January 28, 2017

I noticed it takes hitting the "esc" key a few times to exit out of FX2 and back into PBX. I am wondering if its because Pinball FX2 recognizes the ESC before PBX does? When I had Hyperpin I used to have the exit key mapped to "e" but went I converted over to PBX I was told to use Esc to exit. I dont have issues with any other system but FX2

heres my log

I too have experienced this. Sometimes I would have to shuffle thru other tables before it would let me Exit.

Is their a way to flag this or should it be in a different forum?

**koolywiz** · February 14, 2017

I notice this too now, I don't know if it was caused by PBX update or FX2 Update. I have to launch ball now before it will exit FX2.

**bent98** · February 14, 2017

It would be great if someone could address this.

thanks!

**Carny_Priest** · February 14, 2017

I use a separate launch script rather than integrated support. In the script I set up a hotkey to force kill the process.

Generally speaking, I've quit fighting with integrated support and use custom scripts for everything. I only run Future Pinball with built-in support.

Can you share?

**odie** · February 14, 2017

It is beginning to seem you need to be at-least a part time programmer to make things work well sometimes.

I just tried your script. I made a change to the dmdext path and command as I have a p2dmd. I also rem out the antimicro info as I don't need to run that program as I have an ipac

your script launches the first FX2 table but it doesnt close out pinball fx2 at exit. my pinballX config looks exactly like your screenshot. Here is why my modified AHK looks like. It compiled to and .exe. HEEEEELP

The hotkey that runs the kill subroutine is defined as "e". You will want to change it to whatever you've assigned to your exit button.

**bent98** · February 18, 2017

so escape key is "ESC"?

**Carny_Priest** · February 19, 2017

"Escape" or "Esc"

So i changed "e" to "esc" and now what happens this.

I run a fx2 table close it returns to pinball X like normal. Run a fx2 table a second time works exit and then it closes out table and pinball X altogether.

weird, now when i hit esc after launch fx2 first time it just closes everything out after exiting on the first launch of fx2. Its like its sending global F4 to all apps.

Something else not related to this particular launching issue I am having... There is ball stutter when launching pinball FX2 from Pinball X. It happens with your script and the one also the FX2 launching code built into PBX. Any idea how to correct that? Are you getting any performance issues Carney?

Assign quit and exitemulator to different keys

I guess it had to map exit, quit in PBX and your script to "e" like I used to have it with hyperpin. Works that way. I guess i need to reprogram my IPAC.

Thanks for you script and help.

Any idea about the micro stutter when launching fx2 from PBX?

**Carny_Priest** · February 19, 2017

Might try assigning an exception for the Steam folder and for PinballX with Windows Defender.

**bent98** · February 20, 2017

It's not Windows Defender as I have real-time monitoring turned off. Any other ideas?

Also, is your script supposed to close steam after exiting each FX2 table? Steam client is still open even after you close out PBX FE.

**Carny_Priest** · February 20, 2017

It's probably something else running in the background stealing resources.

My cab is online, so the client is always active on my system. Starts on Windows boot. It is not the cause of performance issues. In fact, if you are running the Steam version then you have to run the the Steam client.

I don't believe that PinballX is a resource hog, but if you say differently then you can always go the route of shutting down PinballX programmatically and restarting it on FX2 exit. Similar to what is going on in this TPA script.

PFX2 Takes a few "esc" hits to exit table
