Thanks for trying, it was a good idea for a program. Pity it doesn't save any of the settings. I'll have to think of a different way to do it by somehow attaching screenshots to the vpx files. There must be a simpler way.
 
Do you start fprocket as administrator?
 
ive tried with and without, no dice either way. i think others are in the same boat as well

In wich directory have you copied the program?

c:\pinball, d:\pinball, c:\users\ed\desktop, even a t:\ mapped to a linux cifs share to take windows permissions out of the equation entirely lol

uac disabled, as user, as admin, while actually logged in as local administrator account, windows 10 and 11 both tested, all the same results: the config file is written correctly, but on next launch the app loads a blank new one

even tried setting the immutable flag on the config file and it retains its config, but the app still starts with a blank default setup

im very thorough lol

Exactly the same as for me.
 
still not saving. tabletop.ttf extracts to the current folder like usual, no ini so it definitely moved somewhere, but i dont see a folder created in my user folder. search finds nothing in there, no folder called fprocket1732319705009.png
Jeebo said:
I moved ini file to c:\users\user_name\local\fprocket
Try this: v 2.0.5.6

Jeebo said:
Damn, try now 2.0.5.7
Click to expand...
the ini file is now being created in the new place, but when you close the app and relaunch it it still loads a blank set of settings (even though the ini shows the correct settings still)

After creation the ini file contain correct values?

yep but i just realized its not EVERY setting. my font/color changes and my window size/location persist across launches (and the new no-startup-sound option, thanks for that!), just not my exe/folder options for vpx. so we've got progress! haha

Please fill first and second exe path (future pinball and visual pinball) even with a single letter and try again.

appreciate all the work on this, its by far my favorite launcher and now its PERFECT
 
Ah! Finally! Thank you for patience.
