geo-11 Pinball FX3 - Exits on startup
I tried running Pinball FX3 with the Fix from the Helixblog site. This is 32 bit game. It exits on startup with the helixblog fix. The game does run OK in geo-11 (TAB) without the fix installed but with the fix installed just exits on startup.
I think this is a free game on steam with trial tables. Has anyone had any luck getting the game to run with the fix installed?

Re: geo-11 Pinball FX3 - Exits on startup
The fix by itself works fine for FX3. I cannot get it to work with geo-11 though as it just exits. I removed a few shader overrides from the fix to get the game to start with geo-11 but it has so many issues its not playable with geo-11. This is one of the very few games I have that I have failed to get going using geo-11. Looks like I’ll have to keep playing this on my older machine for now without geo-11.
I have so many pinball games and tables its not funny. VR mostly and FX3 using 3D. This includes Visual Pinball VR, Future Pinball BAM-VR, Zaccharia Pinball VR, Pinball FX2 VR. I like building VR rooms for Visual Pinball and animating 3D models for them using Mixamo. Great fun. Can never have too much pinball.

Re: geo-11 Pinball FX3 - Exits on startup
Can you (or anyone else) see if this works with geo-11 combined with the helix fix? I just want to see if its just my setup or not. I think the game is free with one table included. The game works fine with the just the fix. The game works fine in geo-11 without the fix (just broken obviously but it kicks in geo-11 TAB mode just fine). However, with both geo-11 and the helix fix the game just exits / crashes.3DNovice wrote: ↑Thu Aug 25, 2022 12:14 am I hadn't played this in awhile, but I had noticed it setting in my download que for an update.
So I updated it and tried it, it seems that the update somehow broke the fix, but not in the conventional way it seems.
It seems that it has something to do with connecting to their servers and updating the leader boards, etc...
The solution is to enter -offline in the Steam launch command, this disables certain game play elements, but single player is still available.
I hope this helps, this is without Geo-11
Edit: hmm, it was exiting all the time, but after playing offline for awhile I was going to retest somethings I thought of, but now it just works.
What I was going to try is ... launching with Administrative privileges and/or updating the 3DMigoto DLL to the latest version (it's 32bit)

Re: geo-11 Pinball FX3 - Exits on startup
Well I had a look and it seesm some of the fixed files make the game not launch. try Downloading these files and delete your others and install these only and the game should launch with the new version of Geo11. The thing now is when ingame playing a table it did not show for me just a backround with no pinball table . So it is still broke with Geo-11.

Re: geo-11 Pinball FX3 - Exits on startup
Thanks for that. Tried your files and yes I get the same now with no table visible and just the background. Looks like geo-11 and this game do not mix.The_Nephilim wrote: ↑Fri Sep 02, 2022 12:52 am Well I had a look and it seesm some of the fixed files make the game not launch. try Downloading these files and delete your others and install these only and the game should launch with the new version of Geo11.

Re: geo-11 Pinball FX3 - Exits on startup
Ok, I heard this game can be fixed by using the fake_back_buffer=2 didn't help me
The game closes on launch. Using geo 11 6.56 for tab with 4070
I put in the Pinball FX3 3dvision fixes from the forum and then I copied the geo 11 dll over except for the dx3d.ini.
Any suggestions?
Ok loading in a updated Geo 11 fixed the game from closing. Now I can get the game to run in 3d but on the Star Wars Han solo map, the reflections are showing up in both eyes. the reflections have that problem on other maps too but that map is more obvious.
