Some VPX and FX3 tables wont run in PinballX / Others wont go to front

[Randy Griesan]

Hello,

I am working on building up the software side of my future virtual pinball cabinet and have noticed several potentially related issues in PinballX.

 

1.) Some VPX tables will not load in PinballX, however, they work fine when I load them in VPX Manually, or run from PinballX's game manager.

2.) Some FX3 tables will not load in PinballX and cause PinballX to stop responding (CTRL ALT DEL required), however, they work fine when I load them in FX3 Manually, or run from PinballX's game manager.

3.) A few VPX tables will load but not bring the VPX playfield to the front, I have to ALT/TAB to select the playfield manually.

4.) A few VPX tables will not bring the DMD to the front, I have to ALT/TAB to select the DMD manually.

5.) A few FX3 tables will load to the main table selection of FX3, instead of running the actual table selected.

 

I am new to this front end and I am unsure why working tables would crash in PinballX. Any advice on smoothing out this build would be greatly appreciated!

You probably need to set pinmame cabinet mode and turn off directdraw for vpx. Not sure about fx3 being unresponsive right now.

Please provide log file and pinballx.ini for further help.

All the fx3 tables loads fine for me, exvept Mars, as that is a bug of Zen studio (it loodas attack from mars).

You need to purchase the tables you launch and uses the correct name for it.

Hello Tom,

I may have some more insight about FX3 being unresponsive. I believe the issue is intermittent, considering some tables worked on the second or third try. I also managed to take a screenshot of what PinballX is doing when the FX3 crash occurs and it looks like two windows are open instead of one. 

I hope this helps.

Can you reproduce your fx3 crash and post a log after that ?

And according to your log and ini file, you dont have Visual pinball enabled.

And it looks like you didnt setup any system for vpx

(Also on an old version of PinballX).

Btw ... to have a good XML file that contains all valid FX3 tables, check this thread :
