[RESOLVED] Crashing a lot

[Barevich]

I've (only lately) been having a lot of crashing. It was running fine for a week or so (this is a new build, and my first cab). Then seemingly suddenly, it was crashing after playing one table; it would play one fine, then not be able to load anything (crashing at a black screen on the playfield). If I reinstalled, it would let me play one table, then crash again. Saw a new release was out, figured I'd try that. Now, it doesn't have the same issue, but will still crash to a black screen for many tables; it seems only the more basic tables will run (as an example, I've been using 'Sorceror' as a test, which it seems to USUALLY run fine). Even then, it sometimes crashes while exiting (and I have to exit by using the keyboard - it is not recognizing it from the cab's 'quit' button). 

I have a two screen setup with a DMD3. This is on VPX. An example of a crashing table is ST:TNG. All games launch fine through Visual Pinball - issues only appear when using PBX.

I've attached what I think are the right files...

PinballX.ini log.txt Visual Pinball.xml

By the way - I want to thank everyone; there is so much great information out there I've gotten so far and overcome so many issues just by searching all the information everyone in the community has put out there! Mostly on VPForums, as that was the most relevant at the time to set stuff up. But a fantastic community everywhere I've looked!

You mentioned that it is crashing after 1 table, but according to the log file, i see that Sorcereri s launching, you exit that table. Than you launch it again.

After that nothing in the log. 

So question : what is crashing ? Visual Pinball or pinballx ?

Do you see anything about the crash in the eventvwr that could be relevant ?

 

[Barevich]

Sorry - the crashing after 1 table was an issue I had before updating; I mentioned it only in case it was relevant. I haven't looked at Event Viewer; didn't realize it might be relevant. I'll check it and see if I can find anything that appears relevant.

There was something with table ST:TNG

But can't remember exactly. Something with the name that is not supported ?

Is the logfile you posted after the ossue occurred?

[Barevich]

Yes, the logfile was after the issue.

Cab button number 7 in your setup for exitemulator?.  That should work if you pressed the button in setup.exe to register it. If it isn't working are you running VPX as admin?, if so try removing that and/or running pinballx as admin.

I guess when using keyboard you press Q to exit table, is that mapped in VPX to exit table too?. Try mapping a different pinballx key.

And now... the exit button seems to be working.

Also, upon further examination, the other issue (crashing to black) does seem to be limited to certain games (for example, ST: TNG). I'll look around to see if I can find resolutions for those specific tables. Thank you all for the responses and guidance.
