VPX Crashing on Exit Game

[cherga]

Hi all, I added VPX to my system and am launching from PinballX via the alternate exe function within my Visual Pinball DB. Every time I exit a VPX game launched via PinballX, VPX crashes. I’m thinking there may be a different exit sequence from VP9. Any ideas?

Post you log and ini files, also is VPX running fine outside of PBX

Next time attach the files. Serves two purposes:

1. Easier to read posts via smartphone without excessive scrolling and

2. Allows others to load your pinballx.ini files without having to copy & paste into Notepad and save it.

[rablack97]

have you tried disabling your pacdrive fix?

That might be causing the crash, make sure you test before adding party exe's and .bats 

[cherga]

That was the first thing I tried and VPX is still crashing but works fine alone. I copied my VPX config from the standard Visual Pinball config. Pacdrive and everything else works fine with VP9.

[cherga]

Sorry about that Draco!

[rablack97]

Post your XML file

also why are you using alt exe if your setting up vpx as a seperate system

is this a vpcab, i see some custom vpcab lines, have you consulted with them?

how do you know its crashing , are you getting an error if so post screenshot of the error.
