[RESOLVED] Serious Display Issues 3.35

[cherga]

I posted this on another thread by mistake - Please see below.

I'm having a serious display issue with 3.35. Installed and when I tried to run I got a quick blip on the screen but no PinballX. Through troubleshooting I've determined it's something to do with my DMD monitor as when I disable it in PBX Settings or unplug it, PBX loads and works properly. In case it matters, I'm using a USB DisplayLINK monitor that is not connected to my GPU. I'm thinking PBX is grabbing the display settings from one or the other GPU's, not both and not Windows, but that's just a guess on my part. Any help is appreciated. ini, settings and log files attached.

Rolled back to 3.28 and things are working again. Hopefully the issue is resolved in a future release.

Same thing on mine. removed BG and DMD cables Pinball x loads. Plug back in ... dead. GTX 980 for main GTX 750ti for BG and DMD.  3.35 Pinball X starts in lite mode of course no BG but DMD seems to work on some tables Also, tables run very smooth on lite version

@cherga I think your suspicion is right re the usb displaylink from settings log "Video Card: DisplayLink USB Device"

@joebladyko Can't you run all the screens off the GTX980?, should have plenty of power for it.

Anyway, seems like some multi GPU issue with 3.35 beyond my skills/knowledge.

Haven't tried just using the 980 on its own. All tables run better without PBX so I was reluctant to try one video card. Will try

Tom, I reinstalled 3.35 and replaced the exe you provided (x86) and it appears to be working. Thank you!

Tom: 

I'd been having this exact problem (that I'd discussed in another thread).

After upgrading to more recent PinballX versions, PinballX wouldn't start.  I have a setup that uses a GTX 650 Ti as the main display adapter and a GT 610 as a secondary adapter (to drive the backglass and DMD monitors).  If I disabled the PinballX DMD display and assigned the backglass monitor to something other than "2," PinballX would start but not display the backglass or DMD images.

I used your replacement x86 version of PinballX.  Now everything works well.

Thank you.
