[RESOLVED PinballX : my pinball machine's flip hangs when I launch a table with PinballX

[barto107]

Hello,

I've got a problem with Pinball X (i'm using the last version 5.19).

When i'm playing tables with visual pinball without PinballX everything work fine but when i'm lauching table with PinballX after 5 minutes approximately i've got problem with my flip who is hanging or is triggered by itself ?

This issue seems to be on every tables but it starts after several minutes of game.

I've got a KLZ 25 as keyboard emulator and i give you my pinballX ini et log files to check with you.

I've got a 4K playfield, a 27' backglass, a real DMD (Pin2DMD) 

What can i do ? try an older version ?

Regard

Ian

Was everything working ok with a previous version and the issue started after a PinballX update, and if so do you know what your previous version was?

Not sure how PinballX could or would cause the issue to be honest. Is it any particular table (or VP9, VPX only etc)?

Hello scutters thank you for this answer.

Before i had an old version of pinballX: v2.28 and everything was working fine with it.

I will try an "downgrade" to see if my problem could be fix like that.

This issue only happens with Visual Pinball and not FX.

It seems weird, or if not it's that (pinballx/software ) that means that i've got a problem with my hardware which arrives at the same time as my upgrade of version of PinballX.

I keep you informed of my tests

The log file you posted, is a start and exit of pinballx. No table launch (and not playing 5 min)

 

If you run a vpx table outside pinballx for 10 min, you dont have the issue ?

[scutters]

There's been a lot of changes in PinballX between v2.28 & v5.19, so just maybe it is related. Still think it's unlikely though.

Are you running the VPX 10.7 beta? - looks like all kinds of issues being mentioned on the Maverick table thread at VPU., maybe that is a factor if you are.

Other stuff i'd check / try... disable doflinx as startup program and disable pinballx plugins just to rule them out if you're still certain you have no issues running a VP table outside of PinballX.

Hello Mike_da_Spike,  i will upload a log file after 10 or 15 minutes of game.

These last days i'll play about 10 or 15 minutes with visual pinball (without Pinballx) without any issues.

Yesterday i've tried to play a bit longer (30 minutes) only with Visual Pinball and this issue appeared again ?

So sorry, my problem doesn't seem to come from PinballX in fact.

My guess is a hardware problem or a problem with my configuration

I will order a new KLZ25 to see if it solve this issue or not.

Really bad luck because everything was working before the Pinballx's upgrade.

Make sure you give your wiring a good wiggle test before buying any new kit!

Good one ! 

Or even something that when it is getting hot in the cab that will act up strange (power supply, solenoid or what so ever)

my cab can be pretty hot onside and have multiple fans for an airflow in it

Thank you scutters the wiring is good, first thing i've checked and my cab has 5 years now nothing has moved.

Very strange, i've ordered an new KLZ i'll give you some news as soon as I receive and try it

Thank you very much for your help.

I think the upgrade of PinballX has nothing to do it's just a coincidence

Finally even after changing KLZ I still had the same problem.

I changed the micro switch again and the problem disappeared.

The first must be tired and the second must have a default.

Anyway, I have a spare KLZ just in case now: D

Thanks for your help
