[RESOLVED] pinupsystem and pinballx hang

[berk104]

Good morning, I'm configuring the pinupsystem plugin and if I run it directly the logging works correctly but if I run the table from pinballx the backglass and dmd hangs, I'm using windows 10 and I don't know where the problem is thanks

[scutters]

Please attach your Pinballx log.txt and pinballx.ini files (the log should be from after launching a table and seeing the issue)

By pinup plugin i assume you mean pinup player (for in game videos etc), if so don't most of them replace the backglass? (I tried them for a while but ended up removing most of them after a while so i may not be fully up to speed with pinup player).  Also. are you using the latest version of pinup player?

In addition to the support files requested, knowing a sampling of  what tables you are having the issue may help someone with them help you test to see if they can replicate what you are reporting.

[berk104]

hello, this is the log generated by the pinballx

the game loads fine but the backglass hangs either without playing or when you have been playing for a few seconds, it remains inside the task manager and does not respond and has to be closed from here

PinUpDisplay (32b)

PUPOVERLAY2

PUPSCREEN2

Going forward, please attach copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files. Copy & paste makes for too much scrolling. Thanks!

good morning, sorry, I attached the files thanks

PinballX.ini log.txt

What are defined in your start.bat and exit.bat ?

[berk104]

Hello, everything is disabled, they are from some tests I did months ago

Your log file shows fine.

And your settings looks on first sight fine as well.

Can you maybe post a video with your issue when launching a table from pbx with the issue and a video that launches the same table outside pbx ?

Maybe that shows a bit more information 

 

[scutters]

A video will help us understand the issue, also as draco requested please confirm if the issue is with all pup packs or just one table.

(at the moment i'm not sure if the table launched above is stranger things or stranger things SE)

As Mike says, the config that we can see does appear ok. Not sure what you may or may not have set to run as admin though and that may affect things, at one time it was recommended that pinupdisplay.exe was run as admin (not sure if that is still the case).   Also, check the troubleshooting guide here https://www.nailbuster.com/wikipinup/doku.php?id=puppack_troubleshoot , it could be performance related.

Good afternoon, I upload two videos, one launched from pinballx and another from pinballx, a photo of the programs that are left hanging, sometimes with pinballx the backglass comes out but it remains froze especially in the strange thinks pinball, with the pinball woz no There is no problem and with the munster or guardians of the galaxy it hangs after a while of playing, playing without pinballx I have no problem nor does it hang thanks

Thanks for the answer, I have reviewed it many times in terms of configurations, how curious it is, executing directly through vpinballx, everything works perfectly, I only have problems launching the pinballx table thanks

[Mike_da_Spike]

Thanks for the videos.

To be honest. I don't know. There must be a simple thing that we missed.

Could be, as scutters saod, a admon mode ossie. Try rin pbx as admin, or set pinup player as admin. Strange part is why the 2 pinup programs get in an unresponsive state.

If above is not eorking, try the settings with full screen exclusive mode in settings.exe of pinballx.

Good morning, after a lot of fiddling and reviewing I already found the failure of the pinupsystem hangs, I don't know why it doesn't sound like having changed it, I had the pinballx executable marked compatibility with w7 and run as administrator, it has been uncheck both and it works perfectly Thanks to all for the help

[scutters]

Ahh,, pesky win7 compatibility mode!

Thanks for posting your solution

[Mike_da_Spike]

Yeah. Cant see that in logging.

Why do people (and you ) set it to compatibility mode ?

good catch !

[berk104]

hello, the administrator mode also conflicts, the two things regards

[berk104]

It certainly does not sound like having configured in compatibility mode at any time, even when updating pinballx I would have to leave it blank, a weird thing but hey at least it works and we found the bug thanks

[Draco1962]

I believe Tom has even suggested to not use either Compatibility Mode or As Administrator in many posts over the years.  Glad it is sorted!

Are you running VPX or other apps as admin? I think the issue is running one without the other the same, but I cannot be 100% certain.

I run other apps that I needed in the past to run as admin. Doflinx, dmdext are 2 as an example I know. Maybe need to recheck my complete configuration 

[scutters]

I run PinballX as admin still, nothing else (i'm dof'less)

I could probably remove admin on PinballX, but if it ain't broke...
