mike21878 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Odd bug going on since the latest PinballX update. Running Visual Pinball X(Ten) works fine. can select the game in Pinball X, 3 monitor setup is perfect (Backglass/DMD/Playfield). The first time I boot up, all the other programs (Physmod 5 and "regular" Visual Pinball) looks fine when scrolling through. However, when I select a game that's not VPX, it switches to a 2 screen default. What will happen is that the DMD will appear on the correct screen, then be bumped by the backglass, sometimes the DMD will be on top of the backglass. When I exit out, I see that my screenres.txt file has been overwritten. If I copy the "regular" setting back into it, open pinballX, it'll work fine until I select a non VPX game again. Then, screenres is overwritten, again. I'm attaching the pinballx.ini and log files. I also can't get Pinball Arcade at all, so that's a minor annoyance but i'd like to get the 3 screen issue fixed first if possible.Thanks in advance!!

Draco1962 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I am sure someone will be able to help you determine what is going on with the ScreenRes.txt issue. As for TPA, refer to this ongoing thread since the UI change to the app a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike21878 Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 Thanks Draco. I'll check it out. Hopefully i'm missing something simple for the other question :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Yes this is happening as I verified it last night. I found thou in my situation if you set the ScreenRes to read only then it will not get overwritten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doogie2301 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Try turning off "Auto Position DirectB2S" in Display Settings 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckpin Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Thanks. Turning off "Auto Position DirectB2S" worked for me. FYI ...The issue arose for me after installing a second graphics card in my cabinet and assigning the Backglass and DMD to one card (the slower one) and the playfield to the other. Although PinballX saw the Backglass as the second display (as configured in Nvidia console) and as it was with the single graphics card, VP did not (versions 10.2, PhysMod, 9.92, 9.21). To get it to work screenres.txt needed to have the backglass assigned as display 1 with a 1920 offset in the X position (still don't understand why). WIth "Auto Position DirectB2S" enabled, PinballX would overwrite the change. The DMD on display 3 worked fine and the playfied on display 1 worked fine in all scenarios.

Tom Speirs Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Yes, its actually supposed to be a feature. Turning off the auto position will fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
