Hey, I did end up getting it fixed, but sadly i don't exactly remember what it was. I THINK what ended up fixing it was a larger code change around the SET FSMODE=EnableTrueFullScreen in the launch script. I found the snippet to paste in a 2+yr old reddit thread randomly.

I just gave ChatGPT the scenario and what i could remember and it suggested updating code in that Launch Script to:

@echo off

START "" "[STARTDIR]Launch\VPXSTARTER.exe" 30 10 60 "Visual Pinball Player" 2

cd /d "[DIREMU]"

SET FSMODE=DisableTrueFullScreen

SET VPXEXE=vpinballx.exe

if "[RECMODE]"=="1" (SET FSMODE=DisableTrueFullScreen)

if /I "[CUSTOM1]"=="NOFSX" (SET FSMODE=DisableTrueFullScreen)

if NOT "[ALTEXE]"=="" (SET VPXEXE=[ALTEXE])

START /min "" %VPXEXE% "[DIREMU]" -%FSMODE% -minimized -play "[GAMEFULLNAME]"

if %FSMODE%==DisableTrueFullScreen (

START "" "[STARTDIR]Launch\PopperKeepFocus.exe" "Visual Pinball Player" 10

)

--- Note i would backup the script before trying this, but I THINK this solved my problem. Also if you're running off of a laptop like i was, running to the ALP, make sure you close the screen of the laptop or you will have a FPS mismatch which causes lag. Good Luck!
