What's New in Version 2.1.6 (See full changelog)
- B2S Server v2.1.6 compatible with VPX 10.8.1
- - B2SWindowPunch punched to big, now fixed.
- - B2SWindowPunch can punch rounded edges. Third parameter control radius (cutterradius).
- - B2SInit timeout can be controlled through res file (cuttertimeout)
- - B2SScreenResIdentifier crash when changing checkboxes #132
- - B2SBackglassServerRegisterApp unblock files while registering #64
- - B2SBackglassServerRegisterApp clean up unused registry keys #169
- - B2SServer should not produce unused registry keys #169
- - Corrected Fuzzy matching #157, Thanks bthlonewolf
- - Add back right click context menu on VPX #127
- - ScreenRes files should searched first for the backglass and then VPX file name #163
- - Stop searching window title for tablename when VPX feeds this through COM. This is a error prone way of getting the name of the table. #167
- From VPX 10.8.0-2079 (vpinball #5057) and VPX 10.8.1-4620 this is now solved in VPX script Controller.vbs
- The B2S Server is now compatible with VPX 10.8.1 BGFX!
Dec update messed up my back glass, it doesn’t run my pups pack properly anymore and any background disappears after a few seconds. This happen when I made a new directory for it and reregistered it.
Which Backglass are we talking about and which version did you use earlier? Hard to tell by this one sentence, what the problem is.
At least, the new directory has nothing to do with it. The B2S Server has ALWAYS supported installation a separate directory.
There has been a couple of releases this year, which are meant to deal with exactly these issues. Please check the new options FormToBack and FormNoFocus, it should help you get an ever more stable environment than before.
Happy new year!

I'm using VPX and DMDExt x64... No B2S working... Did you can release a x64 revision? Thanks in advance!
There is a new release out today.
Since I have not tested anything x64 myself yet, the x64 build can only be downloaded on github: https://github.com/v...kglass/releases
Please report back here or on VPU (please also report when you get it working!)

I downloaded the x64 version and extracted it over the x86 and still shows server info as x86 2.0 and plugins are disabled and cannot be enabled so no DOF effects.
Have you read the instructions? It doesn't say anything about using the x64 version?
We may have found a bug with the setting for turning off b2s punch in 2.0 x86.
it seems the setting only works if we create a tablename.res file. If we put the setting in screenres.txt it does not seem to turn it off.
We noticed this with tables which have the pup screens on the table. I.e. Last StarFighter

The way we prepared the x64 install for visual pinball is that it uses the "x86" install of B2S 2.0.0 which since it is compiled using "AnyCPU" rather than x86 gives the best performance no matter which CPU you have.
A "AnyCPU" compiled binary can talk to x86 as well as x64 binaries. It is automatically JIT compiled to x64 when run on a x64 CPU.
It has proven to work really good, and when the VPX x64 host program and loads B2S, it is noticed and B2S uses the "Plugins64" folder instead of "Plugins"

Yes, if you want to turn off the B2SPunch completely, the only chance currently is to rename B2SInit.cmd to something else, and there is NO B2SPunch at all...
There is a new ticket available which should allow to set this in the settings... https://github.com/v...glass/issues/45
