[UNRESOLVED] Cannot run Stern Kiss [2015] Tributeunder 6.58

[TT11]

And another issue.  Using latest PinballX 6.58 no matter what I do, no matter if it's 32bit 10.7 or 64bit 10.8.....  The table opens, Ultra DMD shows up, BG shows but PF is off, no coins can be accepted, no way to exit, NOTHING.  Alt-F4 or cntr-alt-del is only way out of table......  Opening file outside of PBX - works like a charm.......????

Please attach your log file after reproducing the issue. Also add your pinballX.ini and a link to the table.

Are you using FlexDMD for UltraDMD?

[TT11]

I know you want to see log files, but again going back to 6.22 and the table opens, plays and function/works 100% as it should......????

I also have the slow exit problem using 6.58 which seems to be fixed using 6.22.....????

Please triage the latest version and provide the requested files! Thanks!

[TT11]

I get it..... But when you just want a front end to function....What's the point.  I hate loading up tables and they don't function or they are slow.  Sorry, I'll just stick with 6.22 as IT WORKS.... Maybe close the case.

[Tom Speirs]

yeah, what's the point. Maybe i should have not bothered creating the front end!

FWIW... Kiss 2015 works for me with PinballX 6.58 and VPX 10.7.4 with FlexDMD, coins can be accepted, game starts, and exits ok back to PinballX.

Something else is happening on your setup @TT11, so the log and ini files would be needed to investigate.

Thank you for testing.  Looks like you are using full screen exclusive in PinballX too. So doubt its that and it does really speed up the display, at least on my cab (I have not done my PC upgrades yet). Goes from skipping frames to silky smooth.

[Tom Speirs]

Maybe try FlexDMD over UltraDMD. I helped invent it but I think FlexDMD is still supported.

Not wanting to be rude Tom - but it JUST WORKS fpr me using 6.22.  It's a bit like Windows and all the updates that get done to our machines - if only we could just stay with what we have, without the endless pursuit of update, update, update.  I'm very much pro-development, but if moving to the latest version of software stops tables from running, then it JUST AINT WORTH the update.  As I mentioned earlier - Just close the case I've raised.

Will do and certainly your choice. I get your frustration and concerns about updates. But please be aware that the further you drift from what is current, the less we will be able to assist when issues are often fixed in subsequent versions.

not very motivating for me but no worries... sometimes i need to fix other things that require updates you know. like you say, whats the point. why bother doing anything at all
