Game not taking focus when launching through HS

[jevansoh]

I'm having a problem again that I had before and there was no resolution, but it just started working and worked for several months.  Now it's not working again.

When I launch a Visual Pinball table directly from RocketLauncher, all is well.  It behaves properly.

But when I launch one from HyperSpin, the table never comes into focus.  It just loads in the background and I have to press Alt-Tab to switch to it.

I've tried turning fade in off and a bunch of other settings and just can't figure this out, but again, it works perfectly fine in RL directly.

I'd really appreciate some suggestions here.  I'm pulling my hair out with this one.

Thanks,

did you ever get this fixed? mine just started doing the same thing

I don't know the answer to the issue but something you could try is running HS as an administrator. You should be able to right-click the exe and then change the properties to always run it as an administrator.

I've no idea if that will work but running stuff as an administrator has sorted things out for me before.

Is it only when you run Visual Pinball it's an issue or is it on other systems too?

Unfortunately, this is still a problem for me, too.  But only with certain tables.

Strange that it's only on certain tables. Maybe worth posting which tables it is and then you can compare if speedracer50 has the same problem on the same tables?

with me everything was working fine and after the win 10 1803 update is when mine went to crap, with the HS patch i was able to get everything else working. when i launch a VP table it launches and loads the table but then freezes up. if i launch the same table outside of HS it launches fine. i have my fades turned off as they have never worked on VP.  this afternoon i will try a few more tables and see if i can narrow it down to which one VP versions are not working.
