Pinball X problems with VP10 tables

[FRAQATTAQ]

I don`t know if anybody else had that kind of problems. But I describe mine the best way I can.

My cabinet was up and running fine with a lot of VP9 and Pinball FX2 tables. Pinball X as my frontend. After installing a new graphic card I finally had everything to start playing VP10 tables.

After some small problems some tables were running just fine. But after some time I received .net Mocrosoft error message after a very short time of playing. Then suddenly when I startet VP10 tables over Pinball X the backglasses became not loaded anymore. It was still working if I started the tables over VP10 directly.

But it got worse. Then it would not work anymore over VP10 directly. And shortly after that also my VP9 tables had the same problem.

I installed pretty much every new but I was just not able to solve this in any way. Playing any table was just impossible anymore.

So finally I decided to use an old restore point for my Windows 7. After that everything was fine again.

I don`t give up easily, so I started over again. Still don`t know what the problem was. I installed all the VP10 stuff again and played some tables for quite some time without any problems direcly over VP10.

Then I added some tables to Pinball X withe the Gamemanager, started the software to see if everything works. Just right after that, playing a table for some seconds, the old problems started again.

So to me it looks like Pinball X caused this problem. Because without Pinball X everything worked fine for quite some time. But how is this possible?!?!

I had to restore my system again! Now I will play my VP10 tables definitly for some time without Pinball X, which is a shame. But as long as I can`t be sure that Pinball X is not the source all this mess, I won`t touch it again.

Well I hate to say this but you point the finger at PinballX but offer broad strokes as to what errors you encountered.

If you are posting with sincerity and want to try to find a solution, the you need to provide a specific error example,  and provide copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files for review attached in reply to this thread immediately after the error occurs.

Try checking the properties for the backglasses and tables that are giving you the errors. Some files will have an "Unblock" button on them that you'll need to click. Whatever Windows is doing to block the files (because it needs to protect you from potentials in files from other computers) doesn't prevent the files from running, but can cause backglasses to crash out with .NET exception errors. I was having this happen with backglasses on VPX, even without using PinballX as my loader.

sorry if this came the wrong way. but I spend this week endless hours on the machine. i was (am) just frustrated and angry.

this was just was i experianced and the problems that returned just when i was starting pinball x again.

it does not make sense to me, too. but it just happend this way.

so at the moment i have no good feeling using it again.

i was hoping someone made similar experiances and found a solution for this.

if i decide to give it another try, i´ll make sure to provide you with further details.

I understand feeling frustrated. What I don't understand why you are posting a complaint about the software without providing:

A - What action(s) you were performin when the error occured.

B - Specific error message received.

C - Support files for staff and others to view.

We are glad to try to help you fix an error. Without specifics there isn't much we can do.
