My sonic table is very slow, making it impossible to play!
I use Win 7 32bits, dual core, 1gb ram, 1gb GeForce 210 nvidia video card, SSD.
I really wanted to be able to play this table!

 

 

Is it "always" slow, or only during certain parts?

 

For some people, they need to disable the "slow-mo" for the shield effect as for whatever reason for some people it makes the game run a 5 fps when the shield is activated (the ball / game is supposed to move in slow motion when the shield is activated, but still at 60 fps+)

 

In the table script near the top under TABLE OPTIONS.... you can disable many things to help with performance.

 

Disable Ray Cast shadows first (and then in the BAM menu afterward while playing).

 

Try disabling the shield slow motion, and maybe the other effects if needed.

 

Save the table if making any changes.

You can also disable playfield reflections in FP video settings. Keep in mind, if you are using one of my "Start FP" bat files to run FP, then you need to also disable reflections in the BAT file as well.

That said... your PC is a bit low spec, and will struggle with newer tables most likely.

Thanks for the detailed explanations, I'll try!
Problem happens throughout the game! Image frame by frame.
I was suspicious that it might be low hardware settings, but I changed it to a 4GB path, installed 4GB of memory and core duo processor, it remained the same!
It also happens at the tables: twiligh zone, indiana jones, Robocop, Batman, Ghostbusters.
I followed all instructions for perfect operation when download the tables, it didn't work!
But Master of Universe, Medieval Madness, work perfect!

New tables use newer lighting and newer physics which are more demanding on a CPU / GPU than tables that were created many years ago with an older PC in mind.

 

Your PC simply may not be fast enough for newer FP tables.
