I have a very odd issue going on.  I have one table, from the other site...that is running at 17-20 fps and all the other tables are running over 300fps.  I am running windows 10, VP 10.3.1  , high end video card.  I have tried multiple things such as disable b2s, changing various settings such as alias settings, and still get less than 20fps on only one table.  (starts with the name of a state, and ends with Adventure).  Any ideas why only one table is running such as low fps?

Take a look at the table properties panel "User Customizations"

set default values if they are not set for 4x anti-aliasing, FXAA, Update in-game AO, and FPS Limiter / VSync set it to -1.

Indiana Jones? That does not do anything weird. Like kiwi pointed out, it could still be that some user customizations are not using the default that you set in the video preferences.

Yes, in my case the only slow table is "indiana Jones". I don't see any customizations in the settings that differ from the defaults. But the frame rate is horribly low.

(VP 10.3.1)

Glad to hear someone else is experiencing the same issues.  I have tried the following:  adjusted/checked the table properties (4X aliasing, FPS limiter, etc), tried to load a clean version of the table, deleted and removed b2s files associated, deleted nvram, updated video card drivers. 

 

The table worked fine for a while, I then loaded 10.4 beta which I think is when this issue started.  10.4 gave me some other issues, so I went back to 10.3.1.  The issue is still there.  It seems so odd that his is happening on just one table.  Are there any vbs files or other files related to a specific table that could cause this?  Could it have something to do with controller.vbs?


Also note- I am launching the machine directly from VPX, and not PBX.


Could something in the registry be causing this?

I did more testing including trying different settings on the user customization (FXAA, etc) with no improvement.   I have compared the performance of a couple of tables and notice the Indiana Jones table is not calling on the GPU 3D near as much as other tables.  Is there some way in a table setting that tells it to use, or not use the GPU 3D?

I second that. The GPU and the CPU, both aren't leveraged more than 50%. So the question is, what else is the limiting factor?

Does anyone have any suggestions on why a table is not leveraging the GPU properly only on one table in VPX?

I have a video card that barely handles 4k, IJ is fine for me. 

 

Have you tried disabling B2S just to rule it out?

 

One trick for tables that have trouble is to turn off playfield reflections under the able options under  "playfield graphics".  You could try doing that just to see what effect it has on the FPS.

Wasn't there also some certain 'timer' fixes that could be altered to help improve FPS?  I remember doing something with timers on [A STERN TABLE BASED ON A TV SHOW -MAFIA FAMILY] when it first came out for VPX...

Same issue here. Using latest 10.4. The hardware I have runs all other tables between 300 to 400 FPS, but this table is around 90. very odd and still cant determine what it is that is causing the issue. Have tried everything I can think of, including the suggestions in this thread, but there is no change at all with this table.

 

Strange...

The only thing i see is the drop in FPS from 300 to 90 matches the drop in FPS when turning on brute force. Did you try to delete everything in VPX that is related to the table including the registry stuff then redownload it and do a clean install? Maybe the brute force on setting got stuck somewhere?

Thanks for the idea.  I have deleted the nvram, rom, vpx file, bs2 file, etc., but I was not aware there was any table specific registry entries.  I will take a look at this as well.
