This table is pushing the limits. If you experience performance issues, adjust the refractions probes in the Tweak Menu if you have VPX 10.8 RC1 or later, or follow the recommendations in the Performance Tip PDF attached to the download.
https://github.com/vpinball/vpinball/releases

All options are in the Tweak Menu (F12):
- Refraction Probe Settings (Available in 10.8 RC1 or later) - used for performance tuning, if needed
- Ramp Cover Decals (enable/disable ramp cover decal mod)
- Playfield Reflections Options (enable/disable static or dynamic reflections)
- Side Blade z-scale for cabinet users
- VR Room options (why would anyone want anything other than the fishing scene?)
- VR Back Box topper toggle
- VR Ambient sound options
- View VR Room in desktop
- Outlane Difficulty
- Flipper Tricks Difficulty
- Volume Dial
- Ball Roll Volume
- Ramp Roll Volume

  VPX - Pinball Tables

 

[apophis]

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:

The table plays great, but for some reason, the ball is black instead of silver. What am I missing?

You need to update VPX

[makmak]

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?)

I thought I had, but apparently I only added 64GL, instead of updating 64 so it was still loading the older VPX64. Thanks.

[Sandro]

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.

Lots of big fancy images to make the lighting look real

Muchas imágenes grandes y elegantes para que la iluminación parezca real.

Any solution?  I love this table.

 

Thanks!!

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.

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.

[Buttergolem]

thanks so much! i missed the new feature set in 10.8. the .ini method is very nice.

[marccy1138]

Anyone have issues with relatively low volume on this table (especially when the score is racking after a ball loss?)

[lukpcn]

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?

[Cliffy]

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

I have globally set 4096 already, should try lower value for this table?

[Cliffy]

I dont think it can go lower than 4k? Not sure. something else could be hanging you up.

It event happens when I open VPX and try loading the table.

[Magellan]

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?

I suspect you haven't copied the 64 bit version of whomever's dmddevice64.dll into your vpinpame folder. Run the flexdmdui.exe there and it will show what you do have installed

Thank you for your prompt reply.  It tells me that I have 2.2.1.0 alongside FlexDMD.  The flexdmd itself is 1.9.

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

Cliffy thank you for all of your help.  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!
