FPS Arcade defaults to displaying 1st caption from gamelist

Post by Diewrecked Verified »

Hi guys

When I launch my 3DArcade in FPS mode the caption at the top of the screen always defaults to the caption for the game at the top of the game list, not the one I'm standing in front of. As soon as I move the joystick it picks up the new caption after a couple of seconds. However I'd like it to just be right to begin with. Is there any way of configuring this please? The only solution I've found so far is to add another instance of that machine in the position in the list where I'm standing in front of it when the arcade launches, which works but isn't ideal.

Many thanks

When you normally enter an arcade you are just standing there. That is why it defaults to the first game.

It is possible to jump directly to a certain game when a list is loaded with the arcgategl:selsetname:gamelistname:gamename property. But I suspect that is easier said then done because it probably needs to be setup manually.
