Screen keeps flickering after going back to the menu (two monitors)

[waterstof]

I play Zaccaria on multiple devices. Today I played on my Windows PC connected to a Pinball Cabinet. After one game I went back to the menu and the screen starts flickering. The only way to resolve this is to quit Zaccaria and restart it. Is it the cabinet mode? Is it my PC, I don't know. The problem started with the update.

Edit: it looks like a problem with the cabinet mode. It happens when two monitors are used. Don't need to play a game, just returning to the menu is enough for the flickering to start.

If you use two screens try to change in the options (screen settings) from full screen to windowed. Perhaps this works for others as well, quick solution for the time being.

I have the same flickering issue (after exiting a game). Also playing in cabinet mode with two screens. Never happend before. Starting after this (nice) update.
Tried changing several "screen" options (including full/windowed). No luck...

I have exactly the same issue. Nothing fixes it. You can play one table, but after that it us totally unusable as both screens have flickering and weird stuff showing through. Have to exit the software completely and reload to play a different table. I only purchased this a couple of weeks ago and it has been working fine. If i bought it now i would get a refund, unfortunately I am now stuck with it.

Update
just tried it on another computer, a laptop, as soon as i plugged in a second monitor the same thing happened. Different PC spec, different graphics card etc.. same result.

Unfortunately this doesn't work for me. A quick fix would be appreciated.

Bad screen flickering issue after you leave a table and start a new one. I've tested this on 2 windows 10 64 bit machines with one using Nvidia 1080 TI and the other using an Nvidia 4090. I downloaded the latest drivers and issue persists. Issue does not appear on my 2024 windows 11 Lenovo yoga intel 7 laptop using integrated graphics. Wish I could roll back because I own every table and play these tables on my vpin cabinet. The windows 10 machines have multiple monitors while my laptop was single screen.

This "UPGRADE" [ and I'd like to note I am using that term very loosely] should have been rolled out in a beta test as opposed to an official release. To me this seems that there are new owners of Magic Pixel and they're all ga ga over the Legends Pinball 4K tables and decided to do a fast cash grab by rolling out the "UPGRADE" version on steam and to also try and collect a few bucks from quest users playing the tables in VR.

I may be wrong but to me it seems stupid to not test this using cabinet mode on more than 1 screen. Perhaps it is the same owners of Magic Pixel all along and they did this hap hazard roll out to score a few quick bucks and then its on to better things and they're going to leave support for this product in the trash bin where they have left it for the past "Two years and four months" .

I played this game in VR on a real PC VR set up using the HTC Vive, HTC Vive Pro 2, and the Valve Index and I am honestly hesitant to even attempt to try and play this version because I'm almost positive they cut corners to make it work on the much cheaper and widely inferior tech of a Quest 3 headset. If I could roll back to the previous version I would gladly do so.

I'm seeing this too on a 2 screen cabinet using an Nvidia 2060. I was going to buy some of the updated tables but I'm holding off for now.

I am seeing same issue on my cabinet mode setup. I am also having an issue where Blackbelt Deluxe keeps switching to the virtual backglass on that table only. Other deluxe tables have the traditional layout still. No matter how many times I go in and change it goes right back

Getting the same flickering after exiting the first table played. Unusable after that due to the flickering.

It is unfortunately still there in #92.

For me on Windows I narrowed it down to exactly Cabinet--Backglass Display. With it on, it flickers after first game and/or crashes within the first game in about a minute. With it off, all is well for multiple games. Cabinet mode can be on. Multiple displays can be connected. This just means I have to turn the Screen--In-game UI Visibility on in lower right corner.

I too have this issue when using cabinet mode and multiple monitors. The game menu flickers like mad on occasions when quitting game back to the main menu

[bbrock1]

After multiple ways to try and implement cabinet mode without it flickering I finally found the fix for the flickering screen issue.

~~~ This has been tested and proven to work on multiple PCs running Windows 10 and 11 and multiple Nvidia and AMD cards. ~~~

Step 1 - Exit to main menu.
Step 2 - Quit to desktop.
Step 3 - Uninstall Game.
Step 4 - Reboot your PC.
Step 5 - Run a registry cleaner.
Step 6 - Open Steam.
Step 7 - Open Pinball FX
Step 8 - set up cabinet mode.
Step 9 - Buy their table packs and enjoy virtual pinball from a developer who knows how to roll out updates that don't break key features users have been using for years.

Not very useful funny man. I want to run both. Pinball FX actually sucks. It eats enormous disk, memory, CPU and GPU without looking any better than Pinball FX3 which is much better. Zaccaria is the most efficient AND they made a good Mac version.
