I have not played my cabinet in a while and decided to upload a bunch of new games that have been created.

 

In the process I decided to update PinballX and update my B2S server and Visual Pinball from, what appeared to be version 9.9.1 or 9.9.2. to version 10.7.

 

When I installed the newest version of PinballX, it would not start up for some reason.  I ended up having to go into my Windows 7 and go to a previous restore point to get it to work again.

 

I then updated to Visual Pinball 10.7.3 (I think) and tried to update to VPinballX-10.8.0-1314-0f002da-Debug-win-x64.

 

To make a short story long, when I would attempt to play a machine via PinballX it would say LOADING and then just go back to the wheel after a few seconds.

 

When trying to play games via the latest versions of Visual Pinball, I would get errors like:  "This machine was created using (insert) version and may cause errors" and then I'd have errors or it would load with no backglass.

 

Finally I just decided to go back to the way it was originally and using PinballX's set-up feature, I attempted to go back to the original pathing when it worked fine 24 hours prior.  The problem was that every path and every link I would try - it would still bring up the wheel and not load the game.  Even games that were old.

 

I'm using Windows 7 as my operating system.  Could that be the problem?

 

The path to the tables works as under Game Manager as it finds all the tables that were previously loaded - it just won't play them.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

There's quite a lot going on there, and i'm not really sure what your current setup is (old version of PinballX on an old restore point, but with Visual Pinball X installed now over a previous VP9 install and with B2S server updated?)

 

If you're trying to play .vpx files then you should set up vpinballx.exe as the executable in a PinballX system, and then have .vpt files opened with a vpinball9 executable under another system. Have a look at this post - https://forums.gamee...&comment=186689 for a way of doing that.

Thanks so much. After everything crashed, I decided to upgrade to a larger SSD drive in anticipation of going from Windows 7 to Windows 10.

After cloning and adding files, I put the new drive into my cabinet and now it all works. Not 100% but better than it not working. There are still some tweaks I need to investigate, but appreciate your response.

Thanks again!
