Windows XP PinballX issue


insx

Recommended Posts

Hi Tom,

i did some testing with the latest version:

Quit button during playing works as expected

InGame button opens InGame menu

Directb2s after InGame button and return to table works

InGame button and then exit the table from within the InGame menu => crashes PinballX

Quit button during playing after once going in the InGame menu and return to table => crashes PinballX

Many thanks for your work to solve this problem.

Best regards

Antonius

Im not enjoying saying this but you will likely have to upgrade to windows 7 or 8/8.1 to properly resolve the issue. It runs best on Windows 8+ and Ive had no issues on any of my systems with various GPUs with VP, FP, FP + BAM and MAME but I have not used XP other than for testing for years.

Tom, the old revisions 5-6 updates ago worked like a charm. No crash. Since then you have integrated MAME, increased the number of tables to 347, updated the database feature & did some performance tweaking. I think that problems are coming from this updates. 1.57 was running stable on my Win XP 32 setup. Not a single crash! Regards Torsten

I had the same problem. It was really frustrating because i knew everything worked beforehand. I almost went back to HyperPin. 1.68 fixed all my problems with crashing and DMDs on B2S tabes. Everything works as it use without a hitch. I really appreciate the quick turnaround for updates.

1.68 is not working for me. With the ingame pause key I am not coming out ouf the table. Visual pinball return to the tables after setting playfield and screen for a short time to black. When I exit with "esc" the table quits to the desktop.

Similar is 1.57. It first worked quite stable, than while going into ingame menu pinballx crashed.

The same for me. With Ingame button i can't leave the table. Playfield and backglass are going black for about 0.5 seconds, and then the table returns. If i don't use the Ingame button, all seems to work perfect, i can exit the table with the ExitEmulator key, and i can leave PinballX with the Quit key. But once i have pressed the Ingame key then leaving the table with the ExitEmulator key will crash PinballX. I have now reconfigured my buttons. I try to use PinballX without Ingamefunction.

I downloaded the V1.57 from above. This version seems to be V1.58. I have the same problems with it.

@all. So to confirm all is good with 1.68 apart from in game? Also, please try the new fullscreen as window mode in 1.68

Yes, ingame menu is not opening, when I press button. I only have one button (for exit and ingame menu).

Oh dear, I spoke too soon. Fresh boot, PinballX started, fired up MM, exited MM with Exit Emulator button, played a 10 minute game on MB, exited MB, crashed to desktop. Version 1.68 that seemed to work so well yesterday.

All - Please post your log files " post crash" along with a copy of your .ini file and any pertinent info such as OS and codecs installed. This is something we shouldn't have to ask for every time someone reports a problem, especially those that have been asked before. You may not think it is warranted or that the info contained is useful, but you are doing yourself and the author a disservice in trying to make things right by having to ask - wait - ask again. Thank you.

As i described above: With Ingame button i can't leave the table. Playfield and backglass are going black for about 0.5 seconds, and then the table returns. If i don't use the Ingame button, all seems to work perfect, i can exit the table with the ExitEmulator key, and i can leave PinballX with the Quit key. But once i have pressed the Ingame key then leaving the table with the ExitEmulator key will crash PinballX. I have now reconfigured my buttons. I try to use PinballX without Ingamefunction.

Here are more infos of my system:

OS: Windows XP x32 Professional V5.01 Build 2600 Service Pack 3

CPU: Intel Core i5 Quad 3570 (Ivy Bridge) 3.40GHz [E1]

RAM: 4GB

GPU1: Intel HD 3000 Builtin in motherboard/CPU for the DMD Display (17" at 1280x1024)

GPU2: NVidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti with driver Ver: 270.61 for Playfield (FullHD) and Backglass (FullHD)

I also use DOF with a Ledwiz for RGB-Leds and other toys.

I have forgotten: I don't use any videos. So i don't have installed any codecs.
