Why do some Full-DMD's go black after a game starts?

[griffindodd]

I have quite a few tables where I have only a standard DMD for the table, so in game, I overlay the regular DMD on top of the fulldmd media background that PP uses, (usually the 'frame' versions of the art).

On some, not all, machines, after a few seconds of the table loading, the artwork in the full-dmd area disappears leaving me with the DMD floating on a black background. Does anyone have a solution to stop this happening?

 

I'm using FlexDMD 1.9 and Freezy Plugins 2.2.1 for nearly all of my DMDs, 3 screen rig, portrait main PF and BG screens, PP 1.5, VPX8, VPinMAME 3.6, Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB DDR4, RTX 3080, Win 11

I hope someone can help with this, as I am having the same issue.

Not sure if you still need help with this but I have figured out my issue, maybe this will help.

 Go into (Pin Up Popper Setup) then (Game Manager) and find the table you are having issues with from the list. (Depending on what version of Popper you have) at the bottom left you should have a box that says "keep displays on". If you hover over it, it'll give you numbers and what screen it relates to, I have a full DMD (computer monitor) so I entered 5 into that box. Don't forget to hit SAVE. 

Now when the game launches, your front-end media will always stay there and not disappear after the table loads.

I'm having same issue with tables that have UltraDMDs. I have 5 selected to keep it on but makes no difference. Was there any solution in the end?

Over a year later this solved my problem perfectly.  Thanks!
