Content Provider apophis Posted February 3 Content Provider Share Posted February 3 This table uses relatively new features that are only available in the more recent VPX 10.8.0 beta versions. To avoid any known issues, and to enjoy the full experience of this table, it’s recommended that you update to the most recent VPX version. Please don’t post issue reports until you’ve first checked that you have the latest version. Here is the link: https://github.com/vpinball/vpinball/releases/tag/v10.8.0-1873-bdd0673 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stragedy Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 The table plays great, but for some reason, the ball is black instead of silver. What am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

makmak Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 (edited) plays and sound great with VPX 10.8 beta 8, but when I try the latest 10-8rc1 all my sound options are f*** up and there is no rom sound at all. tried with alt sound and standard sound and different other tables. took me 2 days and taking my cab into pieces to find out. omg. any ideas? thx! (or do we have to setup rom sound some other way at rc1?) Edited February 3 by makmak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stragedy Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 13 hours ago, Wylte said: You need to update VPX I thought I had, but apparently I only added 64GL, instead of updating 64 so it was still loading the older VPX64. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandro Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Got the updated VPX file but when I go to load the table it just crashes back to desktop. Oh I suppose I should post my specs... i9-9900K CPU 64GB RAM 12GB RTX 3080Ti Win 10 **EDIT** FIXED so I set the preset in video options to High End PC and that seemed to work.

Run 64bit VPX and then if there's a hardware limitation (GPU memory) set a maximum texture size in VPX, then follow the performance recommendations in the .pdf.

Buttergolem Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Sorry for my ignorance, but i am not able to save my adjusted camera view settings to the table. i can adjust it and save the file, but the adjusted settings are gone as soon as i reload it. i am using vpx 10.8RC1 x64.

The new method is to save everything to an .ini and never have to touch the table file. Hit start after adjusting your PoV to save it; when you quit out to the editor those settings aren't applied to the editor/table file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttergolem Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 thanks so much! i missed the new feature set in 10.8. the .ini method is very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marccy1138 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Anyone have issues with relatively low volume on this table (especially when the score is racking after a ball loss?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukpcn Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I am on latest 10.8 RC and at least 50% of the time table won't load crashing vpx, might be due to big filesize? Any clues? Any remedy for that situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Open in 10.8 x64 edit mode, go to preferences, video/graphics, select specific table overrides, go to max texture dimensions and select 4096 from the dropdown, go down to lower right click save changes. Close vpx, restart the table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliffy Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I dont think it can go lower than 4k? Not sure. something else could be hanging you up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magellan Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Good day everybody, I cannot get the color DMD in VPX 10.8rc1 64bit to work. When I can get the table to load in 32 bit, the color DMD works without issue. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Run the flexdmdui.exe there and it will show what you do have installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok thats Freezys dll's I believe. If you running the pal/vni it should work. If using the pac then you'll need Lucky1's dll's or the leaked plugin code in the dmddevice.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still cannot get it working, but after digging more (and trying pal/vni files) it looks like overall when I use 64bit VPX no colour roms work at all. I think I'm missing how vpinmame (64bit?) works in all of this. So my issue is not table specific. I do appreciate your help. UPDATE: My next google brought me to the DMDext folder, I copied the dmddevice and dmddevice64.ini files from there into the vpinmame folder and voila!! Time to backup everything now!
