I cant get any music or sound to come out of back speakers. I have updated ever thing and reinstalled the game but still nothing, any ideas?

Hi, i have small stutters on the balls and breaking FPS all the time -> in VPX when i desactivate all reflections it is ok and i stay at 144Hz (in vpx I put "Static and balls" to "desactivate" to disable the reflections and then have good performance but it is annoying

 

I have a good PC Ryzen 5800X, 3080 card all updated (but VPx 10.8 RC5 instead of RC6)

 

seems that thi stable takes more ressources than VPW tables; hope you can optimize something about reflections ressources.

 

Thanks for this great table anyway

We know this is on the heavy side for tables, there is not much i know we can do exept turn off things, hide the ramp wires for the lights ? thats a huge one. my gpu cant go over 100 to keep it nice and stable in desktop 2k ( 6700xt )

"Line: 6949
Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
Parameter name: index"

 

The script keeps crashing on this inside and outside of popper. everything is updated. it doesn't seem to matter which version of VPX 10.8 32 or 64 

Any advice on what I could be doing wrong?

update flexdmd

Amazing table!  The only issue is I don't get any DOF output with the slingshots.  Is there supposed to be?

[Sickivionkey]

Beautiful table.  Unfortunately, I'm seeing 45fps in VR where I consistently hit over 100 on other tables.  Can't find the smoking gun to stop the ball studder.  Tried compressing textures, all reflections disabled.  Anyone have a similar issue and have success improving performance?

[baalisan]

Looks amazing!  Unfortunately I can't get it to work on desktop, not sure what I am doing wrong.  I get this error below...

 

Runtime error

Line: 6930
ActiveX component can't create object: 'FlexDMD.FlexDMD

Do you have FlexDMD installed? https://github.com/vbousquet/flexdmd/releases

Do you have the NightmareDMD folder unzipped in the same folder as the table?

[baalisan]

Thank you for the reply.

Yes to FlexDMD first but I will double check again.

The 2nd I don't think I do but will do now

Thankyou kindly   

[Marchafb]

I am having an issue with DOF not working on this table and only this table. I have generated a new config and have updated my directoutputconfig30.ini and I can see the nightmarebc in the ini file, but nothing is triggering only for this table, all other tables are working and triggering fine.

 

Can anyone point me to a few things to check?

 

thanks

having trouble run "FlexDMDUI.exe" and post a screenshot of what it show

there is no nightmare dmd folder on this one, everything is in the table file

Not sure if this is a bug or not. I had an add a ball going and then locked by 3 ball in the house but never got a multi-ball. Once the add a ball drained I just had the single ball and no longer had the lock lit.
Love this table.....It's my new favorite!!

When playing with 2 or more players, the bonus counting at end of ball always shows Player 1's score at the top of the DMD. It's caused by the lines that say this in the DMD_EOB sub.

 

FlexDMD.Stage.GetLabel("Text1").Font = FontHugeOrange    : FlexDMD.Stage.GetLabel("Text1").Text = formatscore (score(1))    

 

Looks like you are always showing score for player 1 on the DMD scene. Change the last part of all of those lines (there's like 10 or so) in that sub to this"

formatscore (score(CurrentPlayer))

 

and it will work properly.

ooo so this was more than one place

[tartzani]

@tartzani Nope, guess this one was missed. I found a couple of other instances as well. Line numbers below.

 

FlexDMD.Stage.GetLabel("Text1").Text = formatscore (score(1)) 

 

Lines 7144, 7166, 7187 and 9365
 

7166 could probably be ignored since it's under a case that only runs if PlayersPlayingGame = 1 so it won't cause a problem. But still better practice to use CurrentPlayer
