[RESOLVED] All emulator setting have disappered twice now.

[wrd1972]

Okay I have loaded all of my emulator settings twice now, but they keep disappearing. They test fine when configuring, but when I come back in a few hours to play, thy are all gone. I have configured PinballX many times before, but have not seen this.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Dunno, read only pinballx.ini file or maybe it's corrupt somehow?

Can you attach the pinballx.ini file and log.txt file in case there's something obvious there.

[wrd1972]

Here it is. Looks like I need to rebuild it. But I will make a copy of the file this time.

Thanks.

 

PinballX.ini

Log.txt file too, please. Thanks.

Really weird. Is your pinballx.ini be deleted, or does it change ? 

If the ini is changed, does it have an older datemodified as before. Or is it modified by recently?

As you have a complete new pc, could ot be that a backup could causes this ?

Did you excluded your pinball folder from defender (or any other antivirus/firewall program) ?

How VSS (volume shadow copy service) ? This gave me a lot of headaches in the past as well ...

Sorry, no solution, but just a bu ch of questions to get you on track

Okay I redid things and made a copy of the ini. I really appreciate the help, but I am not gonna dig further to figure out what went screwy. Hell, it could have been the beer deleting shit for all I know.

If it disappears agin I will chime in.

 

Thanks
