I just submitted a new build that will hopefully dump the shader line numbers up so we can narrow this down. When it finishes building, delete the old app, reinstall, and repeat the log cat please.

 

Also, its easier to discuss this over discord, and quickly send files.

Tap the near the upper right corner and a menu will appear.  This is where you start/stop the web server to upload tables/rom/color dmd/etc

@Slydog, that link for the files didn't work. Says it needs permissions. you could just dm the file in discord. I'll send you a request.

The latest Android build I can get to open without crashing is the VPinballX_GL-10.8.0-1257-1160ed2 build on a galaxy s22.
Anything newer crashes on launch up through the build just made on github

[Slydog43]

I tried latest build (newer 1272).  Here is the logcat from my Razr phone.

Thanks

fwiw, it's very difficult for me to work on issues via this forum. (ie, posting, waiting, etc)  Anyway, its definitely a shader issue which I can hopefully fix, but I need logs. 

 

The drive links above keep coming up with no access.

you need to set your shares to PUBLIC

You have them locked as private

Better on discord? I'll post over there. In the standalone thread?

Yeh, its much easier over on discord. On "Virtual Pinball Chat", its vpx-standalone channel.

i have just copied the files over for 10.8 and run star trek next gen (vpw) and it looks very blurry in comparison to the 10.7.3. is there changes that need to be made after copying files over.

Hello,

 

I'm trying the move to x64 with build 1271 (Windows). I have a lot of tables where the loading hangs at the beginning of "Preparing table", like LAH, BBB, LOTR... It just hangs there indefinitely, no error, nothing. Some others work perfectly fine like Iron Maiden, Munsters, BM66, etc....

 

I can't find any log to help. How could I try to diagnose this?

 

Edit: I managed to go a bit further by disabling full screen exclusive mode. Still hangs a bit later, when loading game scripts. I also found out that working tables are Spike 2 games without classic dmd, so it must be something related to dmd output. GoT VPW, and Deadpool work though, but they're using FlexDMD I think.

 

Edit 2: well, that's weird. I did a fresh install on another PC, with build 1271 x86 and x64, Vpinmame 3.6, etc... and a couple of tables. Works fine. I deleted the whole Visual Pinball dir on the cab, copied this one... same behaviour, fails to load tables in x64, hangs at loading game scripts. So there's "something" else on the machine preventing x64 to work. But it works fine with the tables mentioned before.

 

Thanks.

Did you check your global video options to see if they were set up the way you had them in 10.7?  They are slightly different in 10.8 but you might take a glance at them and see if they are how you want them.

Can someone explain to me the settings for the renderprobe. I am trying to set up the cabinet wall primitive to reflect playfield lights and I can't seem to get the results shown on the github page. Like the gi reflections on the side walls.
Not really understanding the normal distance th8ng.

Any help is appreciated

When using the beta 3 release of the vpx OpenGL version and I attempt to adjust my POV of any table, the visuals appear to break and I get a lot of black. I dont get this behavior with the DX9 version.

Just wanted to report that the FPS increase on my potato PC is quite noticeable with recent 10.8 releases compared to 10.7.4

I was just testing out Versin77's recent mod of Who Dunnit on both versions of VPX and noticed that FPS on 10.7.4 was about 20FPS and on recent 10.8 it is 30FPS with same graphics settings (1080p FS mode with most graphics settings dumbed down, AA disabled etc).

So it has gone from being virtually unplayable at 1080p for me, to semi playable.

and yes, it's well beyond time for me to upgrade my PC with its dead GPU but other priorities at the moment.

Well done devs.

If thats true for others, thats awesome!  VPX just getting better and better.showed off VPX demo table on my little foldable phone (razr) android to a non computer/pinball guy, but he seemed very impressed.  Love it!
