[RESOLVED] Backglasses not displaying when 'Use DirectB2S in Front End' is set to 'No' and PBX is not starting

[pcraenme]

Not at home now, but will do that tomorrow. Some more info already below.

I added a few tables to PBX earlier today and also recorded some videos with PDM (which worked great!). That was the only thing I changed. Everything was working fine. I put my system to sleep. A few hours later I came back, started table Playboy 35th Anniversary, and it did not work (VPX won’t come to the foreground anymore). I thought it may be an issue with that particular table, so tried others that worked before. But they were all having the same issue now. I removed the last table I added (Playboy 35th Anniversary), and suddenly PBX worked again. Added the Playboy 35th Anniversary table again, and starting VPX tables from PBX did not work anymore. Removed the table again, but this time that did not help. So… something else must be going on.

And... it stopped working again. Now suddenly when I start a table from PinballX, the table loads, I hear the rom sound, but I don't see the table. The Loading Screen of PinballX is displaying. Even an alt-tab to the Visual Pinball Player window does not work.

Why is something that was working a few hours ago, suddenly not working anymore? I am about to give up...

Damn, you're cursed with some weird issues!. Not sure if this is related to the backglass thing or something totally different.

Do you have 'exclusive fullscreen' enabled in VPX preferences (if not try that), and let us know if you have any other background processes running (anything like MSI afterburner or even reshade) as they may be a factor.

Also note that there is an updated version of PinballX out, so update 1st that before any retesting and attaching the log file.

I think April Fools started early this year.. this morning I started up PinballX to continue troubleshooting my issues and... starting VPX tables from PBX works fine again! I did not change anything! Even not a system reboot. Just woke the PC up from sleep this morning.

I also updated PXB to the new version now and it still works. Let's hope it stays this way now. Thread can be updated again to RESOLVED @Draco1962? If the problem returns, I will create a new thread, also because the issue was different than when I created this thread.

Thanks.

FINALLY! I get to close something!
