Some VPX playfields delayed after booting in PBX...

[tabascoman77]

Weird issue on a handful of VPX tables:

Ghostbusters, Wizard of Oz, Endless Summer, Guardians of the Galaxy (2.0), Deadpool, and the recent Big Trouble in Little China all have backglass which pops up right away...but the actual table takes about half a minute before it finally appears on the playfield monitor. Otherwise, it remains dark until that happens.

This issue only occurs when I boot these tables through PBX. It's non-existent on VPX itself.

I am guessing it's because they use a lot of high-rez graphics and they're memory-heavy and PBX is having an issue with them but I'm not quite sure that's the case.

Has anyone else had this issue?

Its probably just that the window is not focused. Providing your log file and pinballx.ini would help us look into it.

@Tom Speirs Nevermind. I'm a dope. VPX was in "Force Exclusive Full Screen" mode. I took it out and the playfield pops right up now.

Thanks.

Your not. It should work really.

I appreciate you suggesting the solution early. I love PBX and have used it for years. It's my favorite frontend for my pinball/arcade set-up.

Thank you for all your hard work, Tom.

I noticed that my Proc system is now showing the table now after 1 minute with "Force Exclusive Full Screen mode"

As said, the Backglass is showed after a couple of seconds, but the focus to table takes a while

Is it also specific tables only?

I only see this with my proc tables (just 2 in the system). Didn't noticed it yet with other tables

Disabling the Exclusive Full Screen mode (in VPX) makes my PROC tables work fine. Evil Dead loads the table right away.

Hey Tom,

The issue only seems to be with certain tables when Exclusive Full Screen is enabled in VPX. Everything else works fine and loads quick.
