Major UI isues

In full screen mode, mouse is not aligned with actual buttons. Almost like mouse is reacting to a screen with a completely different resolution, stretched out beyond the borders of the monitor.

In borderless window, almost every button I touch in gfx settings causes monitor signal to be lost for a few seconds (connected on hdmi).

A friend also tried playing this. Sometimes it workes, sometimes it doesn't. Again UI issues. Screen blacking out and constantly dropping to desktop (while game keeps running in the background).

I have hundreds of games and a RTX 3090. Never seen anything like this before, except in this single one game. Reported the issue months ago and it's still not fixed.

Yeah sounds like a scaling issue, could you try the following:

Win+R: %LOCALAPPDATA%\PinballM\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\
Delete: GameUserSettings.ini
A new one will be created next time you launch Pinball M.

I've encountered similar before and believe it involves changing resolution and render scale at the same time, this can introduce a scaling issue to the config. For example:

ResolutionSizeX=1920
ResolutionSizeY=1200
LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeX=1912
LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeY=1196

You should be able to avoid this by always applying a resolution change before adjusting render scale. Ideally Pinball M / FX should be resetting the scale back to 100% when changing display resolution to avoid introducing incompatible values.

Awesome!

Yesterday I disabled HDR and that fixed it too, but when re-enabling it, the problem was back.

After checking that ini files, LastUserConfirmed indeed had incorrect values. Deleted the file, swapped back to full screen with proper resolution and everything works fine, including HDR. Smooth transitions and no more hdmi issues.

Thanks!

No problem and great to hear it's resolved. I've previously reported these scaling issues but will raise it again - players should not encounter this and editing/deleting GameUserSettings.ini is far from ideal.
