Returning to Pinball X

[jbdietrich2]

Pinball X is working great, but when i Launch a Visual PinballX table it loads. When i try exiting the table and returning to PinballX it opens the window "Paused, Resuem Game Debugger, Exit to Editor" instead of returning to PinballX. once I click on Quit to Editor and close visual Pinball using a mouse, my screen goes black and still does not return to PinballX

Can you attach your pinballx.ini and log.txt files (after trying to exit a table)?. 

Also confirm pinballx is running as admin. Thanks.

[jbdietrich2]

I have attached my ini

PinballX.ini

[jbdietrich2]

and yes it is running as admin

Probably going to need the log file.

Are you exiting the table via keyboard or button?

[jbdietrich2]

button, it is a cabinet

What log file?

[Draco1962]

The log.txt file located in the PinballX\logs folder.

Is PBX running in admin mode ?

Button 10 is your exit button ?

And attach the log, don't put the complete text in here

log.txt

[jbdietrich2]

there is a log file and the button is [KEYCODE_ESC]

I would try launching your visual pinball exe & going to Preferences>Configure Keys and make sure the Disable ESC Key is checked.

Can you simulate your issue and post the logfile after simulation ?

In your current logfile, I don't see any launch of a table

It was not selected but now it doesn’t do anything when i press the esc button. It remains on the active table and does not return to Pinball X

There you go, although I didn't see that either. Would the fact that I have to use task manager to force close visualpinball and Pinball X effect this?

log.txt

Not sure. I see that PBX doesn't see the exit command. But I asume you pressed it.

Another thing I do noticed (not sure if that causing issues) is that you install all in the program files dir.

When I started my virtual pinball adventure,  I read on a lot of forums, to skip that because of windows priviliges.

I have all installed in c:\pinball (even p-proc). 

Also for backup (i recooment to backup) it is easy to put all in the same directory

i assume you're using a button to key program like joytokey then?

Go to the pinballx folder and open settings.exe

Check your Keyboard and Joystick input settings., try setting exit emulator to the same as quit

The VP directory permissions might also be an issue as noted by mike_da_spike

Done, didn’t change anything

c:\program files and/or c:\ program files (x86)
These are normally good folders for installing software, but permissions wise (executing files and DLL blocks) doesn't really help.
I don't say this is the silver bullet, but give it a try (So installing VPX and PBX to another folder)

[scutters]

Please also post new copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files (again after launching and trying to exit a table)

Thanks

pinball x is in C:\pinballx

vpx is in program files (x86) visual pinball

[jbdietrich2]

is there a launch after file or a .bat file that would help close out vpx when I press my esc button

PBX should take care of it, but you can try something like:

taskkill /IM  VPinballX.exe

and you are sure that PBX is running as admin ?
