Linux VPX Virtual Pinball Standalone Help

[corpin]

I'm hoping to find someone who is running Visual Pinball Standalone on Linux. I'm having some issue with ball stutter and haven't been able to figure out how to make adjustments to the settings to improve my situation. I did look at the rendering frame rate (~30 fps on an okay table, ~20 fps on table that is more or less unplayable) and latency (up to 4 ms on the unplayable table), and I'm not sure if there is anything I can do to improve things.

 

My monitors are both at 120.00 Hz, and the system has Intel® Core™ i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz × 8, Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 530 (SKL GT2), 32.0 GiB RAM - I think this should be good enough to work.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions or guidance on a tutorial for changing settings for Visual Pinball Standalone on Linux

I am afraid that integrated Mesa Intel Graphics card is way too weak to run VPX properly. You need a proper GPU if you really want to make it work.

Hey thanks for your response. While it was a bummer at first, what I discovered after searching the graphics card was pretty helpful. I just changed the monitor resolution from 1920x1080 to 1280x720 and everything is running smoothly now. It would be great to have a higher resolution, but the functionality is what I am primarily after. Very exciting, I've really been wanting to play Tales from the Crypt and now it is functional!

I wondered about your video as your cpu looks good.  Glad to see you found a workaround.
