Cant exit VP10 and return to the PBX browser. PBX freezes and must be force closed.

[wrd1972]

I have a super annoying problem where when trying to exit VP10 back to the PBX browser, things seem to freeze.

 

This all seemed to start when I upgraded to 6.11, and I am now also seeing it on 6.20. Not sure what rev I had prior to 6.11, but this never ever happened. The issue seems to be random, but it can also happen quite frequently on certain tables. When this happens, I have to force close PBX. To make it even more annoying, the mouse pointer disappears after a forced close. Grrrr.

 

When Playing VP10 through the editor, all tables exit properly. No problem there. I do run a 3-screen setup if it matters, and when in the browser, I show a topper image and a backglass image on my two stacked monitors in the backbox. Not sure if its related, but when I do have a successful return to the PBX browsing menu, its taking nearly twice as long as it used to.

 

I saw in a similar thread that it might be exclusive full screen. I tried turning it off, problem remains. Also, I dont recall switching anything up on my cab that might have started this.

 

Right now PBX is nearly unusable, and I really dont want to switch to a new front end. Any ideas?

 

Thanks.

Your log file is a file without launching a table or without the issue.

Checking your log file, the Fscreen exclusive hack isn't enabled as well.
can you enable this, reproduce the issue and post the log file back ? that would Help Tom a lot

While troubleshooting this issue set the mouse not to be hidden. It'll help save some of the pain;

 

Also, are you using joytokey or similar (as it looks like not all buttons are mapped in pinballx) if so what are the mappings there, and what are VPX key and button mappings? (screenshot of vpx preferences screen will help)

Will do on both points. Thanks and I will replay back, but it wont be till early-mid next week.
