RealDMD does not turn off anymore

Since I have updated to the latest version of PinballX it now keeps showing the PinballX animation on my RealDMD.

I don't card about that one way or another but the DMD used to tuen off for tables that did't use it.

Now it just freezes in the middle of the animation.

Is there a way to get back to the older behaviors of turning off the DMD display when it isn't being used?

 

Thanks

I think I was on 3.37 and now I'm using 3.40.

Hide DMD is checked on all the tables.

In device manager it says pinDMD2

I have never had this issue until I did this last upgrade on Sunday.

With that new DLL it now works like it used to most of the time. Not all of the time.

But it is definitely a step in the right direction....

No changes at all.

I played some tables and it was all normal, noticed the message that there was an upgrade available, installed the upgrade and immediately noticed the difference.

I was all Windows updates disabled so that can't be it either....

Not to ask a stupid question but is there a way to just turn the whole RealDMD off in PinballX?

At this point those little animations are more problems than they are worth....
