Hi All; 

 

My Cab's new PC often crashes and switches my displays. 

 

I'm trying to deal with it using NailBuster's PuPWinIDFix utility: nailbuster.com/wikipinup/doku.php?id=vp_display_issues

 

This utility uses pixel addresses you provide to update the registry entries of the displays to use for VPX and Future Pinball. 

 

It still works fine for Future Pinball (as the core program is frozen in time). 

 

However, the registry entries targeted for VPX were not there, and when I created them by hand, had no effect. 

 

Does VPX have a replacement registry entry for "Software\Visual Pinball\VP10\Player\Display"? 

Or, aside from using old versions of VPX, is there a way to get it to use this entry?

 

Thanks!

I too am having the same issue. I have a 3 screen setup that is constantly changing because windows randomly reassigns monitors and I need help. I have used the latest bs2 registry and assigned my screens in the b2s screenresidentifier program but noting stays as it should after random restarts.

 

I tried using running a script on windows launch using the PUPWinIDFix.exe program provided by nailbuster site. The script confirms any errors and plays an audible tone when each command is ran successfully but the problem is the same. I have 1 vpx table that does not move the backglass while all the other vpx tables do. My future pinball remains stable and my vpx tables with pup packs perform as they should. I have tried all three coordinates for a three screen setup. Device No, Pixel X Coord (@x), Screen Index (=#) to no avail. My windows 11 is a clean install running off of the latest baller installer 1.5.0 build with all updates applied. I am running 3 screens starting horizontally aligned left to right with playfield 2560 x 1440 and followed by backglass 1920 x 1080 and full dmd 1920 x 1080. This is an example of my screenres.txt file and of the script i am running. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

SCRIPT:
