damcanadian Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I've read through 10 or 20 other peoples problems and although they were different, I tried troubleshooting off the advice they were given, nothing have worked so far. the issue is when I launch a table the DMD is ether viable for a second as the back glass covers it, or its huge, in the upper right have corner of the back glass (second) monitor. The screens are aligned PF - BG, with the BG monitor not above the PF screen. I have the table set to cabinet mode. attached is a picture of one of the problems and my display setting for pinballx Any help would be much appreciated and Ill get any pics or files requested as fast as I can for you. Thanks. PinballX.ini ScreenRes.txt SetupWizard_en.xml [SETTINGS].log log.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks and sorry about the delay, I was at work and wasn't able to test till now, It has the same issues in VP, tried turning off all those settings and the DMD is no longer large or in the corner, but it is still hidden, I can alt tab and see its running, and even the right size for the spot, but its ether behind the BG or on some non existent monitor.

Draco1962 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 When reporting an issue, it helps to attach copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files in your initial post without being asked. There may be something inside them that will help others help you quicker. If having a problem with tables, providing a copy of the xml for those tables may also prove helpful.

Outhere Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 The best thing to do is to get it working in VP 1st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damcanadian Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 that's one of the problems I fear I've caused, VP was working before I got into PBX, and then when trying to fix the issues there, I fear I messed up however I had VP working in the first place.

This occurs the exact same in both PBX and VP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damcanadian Posted October 6, 2018 Author Share Posted October 6, 2018 after updating the DMDs are in the correct spots for the most parts, minus 1, and I can alt tab to them to bring them to the front, but on table boot, both in VP and VBX the BG loads over the DMD every time.

Draco1962 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Can you clarify that the BG loads over the DMD every time you load via VP or via PinballX? If the everytime in the first, then you have to resolve it in VP as there is nothing that can be done via PinballX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
