How do I stop VPX loading screen from showing?? (pics included)

[DBrown67]

Using latest 5.32. When I go to launch some tables (not all) PinballX closes too early and I can see VPX is still loading the table. It spoils the seamsless entry from the screenshot to table. Like I say, not all tables, but quite a few.

I do have a very small gif loading image (about 12 frames). I'd prefer none at all but I cannot seem to get round having some kind of loading screen or animation. This is the least intrusive I've managed.

When it works it looks pretty good as if the table has just come to life. I prefer this to videos.

Can you attach the photos along with your pinballx.ini and log.txt files for review in reply to this post?

Getting a 404 trying to access the external links.

Thanks.

I've attached the files you requested. I did change the photo links as they didn't work for me originally. Work for me now. I can't attach the photos because the file sizes are way too big.

These files are just after I loaded Flintstones table and the VPX screens popped up for about a second this time. Sometimes it's as much as 8-10 seconds on other tables.

I can't see the images either, but going by the description try adjusting this flag in settings;

(think there's a tpyo in the description of that setting "Additional wait before showing desktop. Needed for bug tables on some systems", it's for big tables (slower to load on some systems) not bug tables )

That should add time before pinballx hides the loading screen.

 

for the loading gif you could just create a small fully transparent image and then on ezgif.com make a one frame gif from it. That should work to hide it..

Thank you Scutters.

Changing that wait to maximum 30 seconds seems to have done the trick. I used to think that made the table longer to load by however many seconds, but it doesn't. Just holds the image or video enough till it loads.
