PinballX Exclusive fullscreen issue

[Redwings13]

If I have my force exclusive fullscreen checked my tables running with 10.8 beta will now open, pinballx frontend just returns to the image wheel. The tables running running with 10.7 all seem to launch fine and play fine. I’m using PinballX for my frontend.

if I have force exclusive fullscreen unchecked, all tables launch, but on many tables to play then I have to click on the table with mouse cursor to play table.

any help would be appreciated.

When reporting an issue, please help us help you by attaching (no copy & paste) copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files. This will help minimize guessing what you have configured and not. Thank you.

@Redwings13 Can you also let us know the exact version of VPX 10.8 you're running. Direct X or GL version and revision number (is it the latest?)

It is still in beta (i haven't updated my cab to it yet) so some things may change before full release anyway and even between beta versions. It might be something @Tom Speirs needs to be aware of because of the potential difference in how the two different versions behave now, or something that could be addressed in VPX (via a github bug report). The PinballX log and ini files will help us see if there's anything obvious there, please attach two log file copies after launching a VPX 10.8 table, one with exclusive fullscreen set in VPX and one without.

One other thing I forgot to mention is that I’m using database game manager to tell pinballx to launch certain tables(gnr) for example in 10.8 beta

im using 10.8.0 beta revision 1514 edd129c, 64 bit……..I’m not able to find the force exclusive fullscreen box on that one.

10.7.2 version 366 is the one in can check or uncheck force exclusive fullscreen.

I’m using Direct X version 12

Please provide the requested support files. Thank you.

be aware that 10.8 is still in heavy development and changes almost every week.
rev 1514 is pretty old as latest is already 1613 (so you run 100 version behind)
Please provide your log.txt and pinballX.ini and also your database file with the alternate exe for your GNR table
if GnR (or any other table) needs special settings, don't use alternate exe, but use the specific table options in VP

I had a similar issue a few weeks ago.......when I switched to the  GL version of VPX 10.8... it fixed the issue.

be aware that 10.8 is still in beta and changes daily !

I run 10.8 64bit(DX)  on flat and 10.8 gl 64bit (GL) on VR and both via PinballX and I don't have any issues with launching tables
