just the current build with no script.

 

Ok... it's been changing pretty fast so I was going to recommend updating to the latest (build 1332) as a possible quick fix.

To me the problem is that you have the bloom strength too high, it is set to 1,9. Try reducing it to 0,3 or similar. Also the lights right under the apron have very high intensity, 90, try reducing it to 40 or 50, that will reduce the bloom, with almost not changing in how they look.

 

Nice to see you, unclewilly, making tables again

 

Edit: The bloom can be set in the table's properties, in the Light properties.

I figured it would be user error.
Haven't done this for quite a while

I think the bloom standards changed at some point, and used to be set higher... I'm glad JP jumped in to help.

Trying GL version on Android Phone, but don't know where to put the table to be able to load it...

@lukpcn - The latest Android build is not running right. It's having rending issues and really slow fps. 

 

For the time being, don't use anything newer than this:

Did something change as to where the display assigned for use by VPX is stored?  My screen order seems to change quite a bit so I have a startup script that looks for the 4k display and sets the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE \Visual Pinball\VP10\Player" key, but it no longer seems to work.

I'm not sure about those, in particular, but a lot of the settings are now stored in an .ini file in appdata>roaming>vpinballx... you might check that file.

Will look at that.  Is it still using the DX display ID or is it using the Windows display ID?

[Slydog43]

I think its under this in the ini file

 

; Video options

Display = 0

What I meant is whether the ID number used for the display in the INI is based on the Windows display ID or the DirectX display ID (they are not always the same).

My assumption is that it is the same nambering as from the vp registry keys as you did before.

What I would suggest it look in the .ini file and see if it has the same named setting that you are looking for.  If it doesn't, you can probably scratch that as a solution.  That's as far as I can give you advice as I have never paid attention to those settings before.  Maybe someone else can chime in eventually.  If you can't solve it, open a ticket on github.

It doesn't seem to be.

 

I had a script that ran on startup to determine the ID of the 4K display and then set the registry entry to the appropriate screen.  I've been looking at doing the same to update the INI file but the order does not seem to match.

I am experiencing severe stuttering when music changes occur on tables with additional external music in version beta 4(rev 1314). Is there any setting I can change to resolve this problem?

[edge]

Where is " X SCALE 1.000 " in VP 10.8 beta ?

in french : peut on encore élargir la table dans cette version ?

Merci

Some examples of my changing screen issue...

 

First the playfield is display 3. 

 

 

Then on another boot later it is display 2 so the playfield ends up showing on the other screen (which is now display 3):

 

 

Then later it's display 3 again causing the same issue...

 

 

Throughout each time the Windows order stays the same:

 

 

BTW, does anyone know that the * next to a display means?  My 4K display that I like to use as the playfield always seems to have it marked next to it, so I'm unclear as to why it can't just keep using that one as the playfield display each time vs requiring me to keep manually updating it.

Did you recently update the b2s server? I did and ran into similar issues. Could have been anything that caused it but I found my "plugin settings" tab (found after right clicking a backglass) was greyed out. All of my files seemed to be in order but I was able to fix my issue. I did two things and haven't tested to confirm which fixed it but I reseated my displays in windows display settings just in case one moved into the no fly zone. I also reregistered my B2SBackglassServerRegisterApp.exe but this time when I was asked if I wanted to "reregister the context menu" I said no where the first time I did it I said yes not knowing what it meant and bingo, my plugins tab was not greyed out anymore and my backglasses and pup packs all loaded normally. That said, I asked this in the VP Chat Discord but will ask here too, after updating my b2s server to 2.0.3 my backglasses are now loading with the speaker grills and b2s dmds, I have to right click each table's backglass and hide them. Checking my B2STableSettings.xml I noticed the settings to hide the grill and b2s are no longer there (if they ever were, I'm getting old), anyone know how to hide the grills and b2s "globally" nowadays?
