A couple issues i'm wondering about

[cylemmulo]

1st a simple one. I can't for the life of me find anywhere to change the quit behavior. Is there any way to make it the same as default? I've accidentally hit the quit button and just bam game is gone.

 

2nd. I am having weird issues where sometimes I go to load a table, and it will just hang at a black screen on both screens for like a minute. Nothing crazy about the tables or anything, it just takes forever to load.

Please attach (no copy & paste) copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files from when the issue occurred for review.

Don't think there's much that can be done about the first issue (except maybe physically move the exit button to somewhere else). The 2nd issue is probably media related (could be launch audio file or loading media mode).

We'll need the log and ini files to check, but make sure the log file shows a table launch affected by issue 2.

When that happens, when you quit PBX and start VPX directly from its exe, how long does it take then to start VPX? I have had similar issues and found out that VPX startup (without loading a table) itself could take up to 20 seconds, where normally that is 1-2 seconds. The only fix I have for that is a complete restart of my system and then VPX startup (and also starting tables from PBX) is fast again. I never had that issue before with VPX when I was not using PBX yet, so I think it must be PBX related somehow, but have no clue why.

To investigate this issue, we will require the relevant log and INI files.

Please ensure the log file accurately reflects a rapid table launch followed by a subsequent table launch that ultimately times out.

I am considering the possibility that this behavior may be influenced by settings within PBX, specifically regarding "Full screen exclusive" mode, and/or VPX's "FS exclusive" or "windowed" configurations.

If PBX is unable to detect the VPX table in the foreground, it will continue to wait until the designated timeout period is reached.

It is always an option to reduce this timeout duration from the default 20 seconds.
