Some back glasses for visual pinball are not loading when run from Pinball X

[Rlcardoo]

I have the same problem in version 6.58.

I set up a system with 760 tables, 2 Screens. On several tables, the Backglass is covered by a black screen and only the DMD appears. If I check the option "Form to Top" on the backglass, the Backglass appears, but it goes in front of the DMD. I noticed that the Playfields and Backglass with Videos are not displayed. On another computer I use PinballX 6.10 and I don't have these problems. But unfortunately I can't find the installer to download.

Is there a repository with older installers?

Let's try to get to the bottom of the problem you are reporting with the latest version.

I split this into its own thread as it was a resolved issue for someone else a few versions ago.

Please attach (no copy and paste) copies of your latest pinballx.ini and log.txt files for review.

Also, if you can please identify where this issue is occurring. Thank you.

Did you try any of the solutions in the original thread (https://forums.gameex.com/forums/topic/31149-resolved-some-back-glasses-for-visual-pinball-are-not-loading-when-run-from-pinball-x/), different backglass B2S files, script chnages or the B2SWindowPunch utility?

If it's a new install did you also install the LAV codecs? - https://forums.gameex.com/forums/files/file/2451-lav-video-codecs/

Older versions of PinballX are available on the main download page by using the 'see changelog' option

 

But please attach your pinballx.ini and log.txt files as requested first in case there is something else happening (i suspect an older version of PinballX will not resolve either of your issues anyway)

Hello. Thanks for your help.
Yes, I was able to fix some tables by changing the B2s file, and some by changing the table script, but there are 460 VPX tables and it seems that I would have to fix more than 50 tables.

The other system, which I have with PinballX 6.10, I also built from scratch and it works perfectly.

However, I built it on a Windows 10 with UEFI system and I'm having trouble booting on some motherboards. And now I was going to build it on a Windows MBR "Legacy". I ended up uninstalling it and I won't have the .ini and log.txt files at the moment, but I'll try again with version 6.10 and I'll also try with 6.59 and post the results.
Once again. Thanks

Definitely you will want to stay with UEFI over Legacy BIOS/MBR configuration whenever possible due to Win 11 Secure Boot requirements should you decide to upgrade.

Are you cloning a default Win 10 image for use with multiple, non-identical morherboards or identical morherboards but non-identical BIOS versions? Either way you can expect some issues to occur.

I do not manufacture for sale, I assembled it to leave in my office. If it is allowed on the forum, I can share the torrent of my system. It has just over 760 tables. (VPX, Pinball M, FX, FX2 and Fx3. I made a backup (clone) using the Macrium Reflect software, just use Macrium to restore it on a 256GB SSD, it has Windows 10 and all the tables tested.
