I'm having similar issues with GnR and Big Bang.  Table loads, rom is working, but I never get a new ball and flippers don't respond.

 

I've installed the beta baller installer, then installed VPX 10.8 RC3, but I'm still having problems.

 

Maybe I missed something, what did you reinstall?

Hi,

 

Same problem (no ball  and no plugger at statup)

the installation of last version of vPinMame correct the problem (for those who come and read this)

 

1 - Download the files

https://github.com/vpinball/pinmame/releases/download/v3.6.0-929-8c5f83e/VPinMAME-sc-3.6.0-929-8c5f83e-win-x86.zip

https://github.com/vpinball/pinmame/releases/download/v3.6.0-929-8c5f83e/VPinMAME-sc-3.6.0-929-8c5f83e-win-x64.zip

 

2 - Unzip the files in vPinmame Folder

3 - launch setup and  (re) install com object

3b - launch  Setup64.exe and re install com object

 

no need to reboot. il works

Thanks for the help.  Updated vPinMame and the tables are working for me now.

Thank you so much.  updating vpinmame did the trick.  I was having the same problem with Earthshaker.  Thought I wouldn't be able to take part in this week's table in the Virtual Pinball Weekly Challenge.  They are a fantastic bunch.  Come join us in the league here.https://www.facebook.com/share/DZTZNqqLmPs2yWDR/

Thanks a million for the detailed guidance.  This fixed the no ball, no flipper at start issue on all recent VPW tables!

Important is to also unblock some DLLs before you start the setup files:

- bass.dll

- bass64.dll

- vpinmame.dll

- vpinmame64.dll
