Noticed that after leaving a table up for a couple hours, the ball becomes laggy and skips frames. 

 

Kill VPX and restart and it's back to normal. 

 

I looked at the initial memory footprint of VPX Theater of Magic in task manager on startup and it's around 700mb...

 

2 hours later... it's 1.6GB without playing a game and exhibits the ball lag.

 

Anyway... just putting my experience out there for the Devs.

I am having the same issue.

Does anyonw know who the developer is? I would like to notify them directly as I love this table and hate when it glitches during a good game where I might hit my personal high score.

If you feel the need to empty your wallet in my direction, i don't have any way to receive it anyways

I've added an issue in GitHub that might be closely related. Disabling my real DMD makes my issue go away. There may be a leak with dmdext.
