Hello,

 

I have a problem where he Backglass screen stays black. I get a glimpse of it when I resize it to fit the screen, but than nothing.

 

Am I missing something?

did you set the real height and width of your backglass monitor when calibrating ?

Nope. I used the edges to do it manually.

Make sure you don't have any disabled monitors in your display/screen resolution properties. I had an issue where I was getting a black screen and it was because the playfield and backglass was on a 3rd monitor that was not turned on/connected.

You mean in the Windows settings?

 

I do see the options gui on the backglass screen, and VP and FP both work fine with the two screens if it matters.

Try to disable Bloom, just for a test: I had this behaviour once and it seemed to depends on virtual window placement.

If it works without Bloom, let me know and we will add it to bug list...

Yup, disabling Bloom makes the backglass visible.

One other thing I noticed, I've tried 3 tables, Indiana Jones, BK2K and Scared Stiff, IJ and BK dmd works great, but for Scared stiff, the dmd is very dark, almost unreadable.

 

Is it related to the Bloom?
