[RESOLVED] Pinball FX3

[ktcoady12]

Hi Guys- I had pinball fx3 working through Pinball X-  Initially, it was listing 91 tables (I own about 9).  So I went into GAME MANAGER in pin x (which had a difficult time loading all 91 and kept crashing).  I then started to delete some of the tables that I would probably never buy/use.  After that, I reloaded PIN X and none of my FX3 Tables show.  So I went back into Game manager, and under my FX3 no tables show now...  DANG...

Does anyone know where I went wrong and how to fix?  Thank you

Well.. I can look in my christal ball, but not sure what you did. Can you post your fx3 database file, pinballx.ini and log.txt as attachment?

Thank you

Hi Mike- I got The data base for FX3- Problem is in game manager, sometimes I can get the list to populate, but more often than not it crashes.  I only own about 12 FX3 Tables- just trying to add those tables to PBX--- Thank you

Are you running a really low spec pc?.. game manager shouldn't crash.

Give the alternative app PinballX Database Manager a go and let us know if that loads ok;

But please also attach all the files requested before (log.txt, pinballx.ini etc). Thanks

Also, for quick pruning of pre-created database (.xml) files, I use Notepad++. It is a free and powerful Notepad alternative and is a great .ini and .xml file viewer/editor.

I now return you to the program already in progress.

here they are- Thank you - just got home from work:(

log - Shortcut.lnk Pinball FX3 - Shortcut.lnk PinballX.ini

the log and database files are shortcut files to your machine. Not usable to check for us.

Did you check @scutterssuggestion to use DBM and check if you have any table in FX3 ?

For some reasons, Gamemanager is a bit slow for FX3 database. Think it is doing stuff in the background.  Databasemanager will handle this file much faster

Im busy to implement a feature that will add all fx3 tables in DBM, but not able to check if you purchased them. Best way is to disable the table instead of deleting them

Within PinballXinstallation  there is a default xml for fx3 tables. Also on the ftp server you can find some up to date xml files.
