I've made a bit of progress! I'm was tinkering around with every setting in the book and different combinations of settings-- doing everything I can think of to get this to work properly... suddenly on sunday, fx2 tables started to exit without crashing out pinball X! So far it is working-- I'm not certain if it is opening multiple versions of steam or not, but I'm going to run a few more tests this week... what I think I changed that might have helped was adding administrative privledges to pinball X, and setting Steam so it didn't automatically open when windows started-- so when I run a pbfx2 table from pinball X it logs me on to steam and runs the table-- then, when I quit steam with a button on my cab, it exits out and back to pinball x-- I can open another table and it still works-- I tested about three pbfx2 tables in a row and it seems to run!! I'm going to spend more time with it this week. I will keep you posted-- thanks for all the tips so far!

Thanks Draco, well, I disabled killpfx2.bat and left the fullscreen windowed option in place-- unfortunately PinballX is still crashing on me when I load up Pinball FX2 from it.

Ok, I tried enabling full screen windowed and I ran into the same issues. Pinball X crashes. Interestingly enough, I tried putting pinball fx2 in window mode and running it from pinball X to see what would happen-- Pinball FX2 opened up in a window under pinball X -- so it didn't cause pinball X to crash!! That's something--- I just couldn't play it because it was underneath and both programs had music playing at the same time :/ Here's my log for that experiment: Thoughts?

Sill battling away at this but I think I may have figured a few things out. It appears the reason Steam isn't exiting back to Pinball X when I exit is because Pinball x is crashing every time I load Steam from it. There's nothing to exit back into!! Here my log-- any one know what the problem could be? Anything I can try to prevent Pinball X from crashing?

I should have supplied this before, but here is some more info for my issue--- I'm running the newest version of pinball fx off of steam, the newest version of pinball x, and I'm on a windows 7 system. All tables seem to load fine outside of pinball X and inside of pinball X- when I load it from pbx it brings me directly to the particular pinball machines info screen--- working my virtuapin controls work with x360ce--- but I can't exit with a button (have to navigate with a keyboard to the menu (exit table, exit game, etc) and exiting brings me out of pinball X (instead of back into the pinball x menu) here is my pinball.ini and my pinball fx2.xml

Hello! This is a great group-- been enjoying reading through the forums. I am having an issue that I was hoping someone might be able to help me with. I recently purchased a Virtuapin Mini and am trying to get my Steam version of Pinball FX2 to function on it with Pinball X. I've gotten most things set-up correctly but I can't for the life of me figure out how to exit a Pinball FX2 table. I have my Pinball FX2 in cabinet mode and am controlling with x360ce program-- since my cab is using a virtuapin controller (as a game controller) I figured this would be my best way of controlling it. I have all of my tables set-up and I see them in PinballX-- when I load a table it goes into it and I can play--- but I'm not sure of two things-- first, I end up needing to navigate the menus to exit out of pinball fx2-- is there a better way of doing with with my controls? Or a hotkey that exits the table without navigating? Secondly-- when I do exit Pinball FX2, it automatically sends me to the windows desktop instead of back to the pinball X menu. Is there a way to exit directly back into Pinball X? Thank you so much for your help-- I appreciate it and and happy to be part of the community! Tom
