[RESOLVED] Game Manger crashes time and again with "VScrollBar"- message

[Mustang1961]

Hello,

after years (>8!) of robust operation it happens since a few days that when I use the bar-slider-button while browsing in the game list the game manager crashes with a "VScrollBar"- message. NOTHING has been changed at the system, I have 715 games in 6 systems in use. I have no idea where to search or how to fix. Can anyone give me a hint?

Thanks in advance, greetings, Christian.

Please attach copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files (no copy & paste of the contents or .zip files) in response to this thread.

A screen capture of the error message may also be of help.

Thanks

Dear Draco,

thank you for your readiness to give support for my problem. I attach the requested files freshly created minutes ago. I tried to force the error, but the game manager scrolled smoothly, so I cannot add a screenshot of the message. I hope the two files gives a hint.

Greetings and happy holidays, Christian.

Ok, so you want support on pbx 2.27 ? When Tom  released version 6.38 this week ? (That's more than 400 versions later !)

I'm not sure Christian if support still is going to happen on the version you are using

There must be something changed to your cabinet that PinballX (in your case, gamemanager) changes behaviour. 

The version you use is properly 5 years old.

If you do t want to update to latest version, you can download your pinballx version again, run the setup and hope your issue dissappear 

[Draco1962]

Agreed. Your version is too far out of current so will require updating to the latest version and updated pinballx.ini and log.txt files if the issue persists.

Dear Mike, dear Draco,

thank you for your replies, these are much appreciated!!! When I added games yesterday everything runs smoothly and I hope that the flaw will fade. If not I know now measures I can try. Reason for using the old version is my motto "never touch a running system", I know that this may have disadvantages, but in the begin of my "VP-Life" (9 years ago) I had to fight many many problems and crashes. So I was very happy and careful when I reached a stable state.

Again thank you to you both, Happy Holidays! Greetings from Christian.

[Draco1962]

You're welcome! So is all working as expected now or still problematic? If any issues with the new version, please attach new copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files.

Otherwise, have a Merry Christmas!

Dear Mike,

thank you for your like!

Dear Draco,

thank you for your warm words and shown continuity in readiness to support further. I'll observe the situation and will report.

Sincerely, Christian.
