TR1CKST3R Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) Hi all, Just about finished putting myself together a virtual pin table and i'm using bigbox in portrait rotation for my front end. Everything is running like a dream so far. I'm primarily running FX3 & FX2 through steam. A few laggy tables using FX3 but i still have FX2 installed for the original tables so not all bad. Anyway the question is.... When you finish a table using FX3 and the high score entry pops up on the DMD, i cannot seem to enter my initials. The only entry i can do is "AAA" as the enter key seems to be the only button that works. Name entry works perfectly in FX2 so its not the Ipac2 i'm using. I have also tried switching back the option a few times in the FX3 menu to see if that works, but nope. I have even tried using a wireless keyboard to no avail! Is this a known problem? am i missing something simple? or does anyone have a work around at all? really frustrating having to skip the name entry or just fill in AAA every time. Thought i would ask here, as i'm using Pinball FX in cabinet mode and i'm hoping some of you guys would surely know something about it that may help me out!

TR1CKST3R Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 You can ignore my question I found my answer after a little more digging around! Zen Studios Forum Topic for those interested they are aware of the issue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I have it working with an very simple AHK script in the manage emualotrs tab. This is the ahem...non steam version of FX3. Since I use an xarcade tankstick the AHK makes one of my buttons act as enter to allow hiscore entry. Not sure if same will work with steam.

TR1CKST3R Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share Posted June 26, 2018 Thanks for the reply, Enter is the only key that seems to work. Its selecting/cycling another letter on the dmd screen which is the problem. You can set it to use keyboard entry in menu without the dmd use, but it really spoils the immersion/fun having to reach for a keyboard each time to enter initials. Seems to be an actual in-game issue. Will just have to wait it out to see if its patched soon ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Odd. Selecting works fine for me. It was entering that was the issue. I wonder if that is since you are using it launched through Steam. At least they acknowledged it and are working on the fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR1CKST3R Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share Posted June 26, 2018 Yeah its a little odd. It also throws up a second dmd screen dead centre of playfield. Even though the option is turned off in settings for dmd position! Quite possibly could be a steam integration thing just have no idea. If i was able to source a standalone .exe for both fx2 and fx3 that had cabinet mode i dare say i wouldnt have this problem ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you have DOT Matrix Size set to "off" as well in the UI/Streaming settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
