BigBox Marquee Disappears when Exiting Future Pinball

Recommended Posts

Anyone see this or can reproduce?

Problem: Exiting Future Pinball causes BigBox marquees to move almost entirely off screen

Here are the steps to reproduce this problem:

  1. Enable secondary backbox display for Future Pinball

  2. Enable marquees for BigBox (same screen as backbox display)

  3. Open Future Pinball in BigBox

  4. Exit Future Pinball

  5. Do marquees stay visible for you???

I figured out a workaround. Apparently BB doesnt like it when Future pInball is set to use a FULLSCREEN backbox display. I had to write a AHK script to move a non-fullscreen window to the correct coordinates on launch. This allows marquees to continue working in BB.
