A noob question about BAM headtraking: Can I work with Visual Pinball GL or DX or just Visual Pinball GL?

head tracking is working in DX as well

not sure why, but I prefer the GL version 

make sure you have check the following checkbox :

 

 

 

Can you post both of your INI files as well ?
I'm doing almost the same, and never had issues with it
or is this issue introduced with 1370 ?

 

Not sure when it started but it wasn't that long ago. I just updated to v1383 and still have the issue, thanks Mike  INI files are here  https://drive.google...q8u?usp=sharing
 

 

Are you sure your VR_ini is correct ?
A lot of settings are not set (like joystick keys)and display is different as well.

Display is on cabinet on 1 and in VR on 0 . could that be the issue ?

somehow my video preferences got overwritten and it appears I got switched over to running in desktop mode on my cab

 

 

this be why screenshots are good
we could have helped you think faster

 

maybe

 

 

Somehow taking screenshots and moving it over off the cab and over onto a completely different computer to crop it down made me do a double take, "Uh hey, that looks like it might be in desktop mode."  It never crossed my mind because that FS checkbox has never once come unchecked since I first went fullscreen years and years ago. 

 

Still don't understand how it got unchecked, or how it migrated back from 10.8 (INI file) back to 10.7 (registry). But that's all it was. Stupid!

You have described it much better than I did! 

 

You might want to update the notes on that issue #594 to say that you recently had the same problem and with which build.  Even though it's closed it will notify the VPX guys.  If they think they issue is resolved it may be helpful for them to know about it.

That is a mystery far far beyond the capacity of mere mortals to ponder

You sir are a genius, I could have swore I looked and both the VPX and VR Displays showed the same. Changing the Cabinet Display to "0" and all is good again. Thanks for taking the time to help me out.

Your welcome. And I'm definitely not a genius, I only have brain damage

Hi,

I noticed an issue with TAXI (latest VPW version) table in VR for a while (oculus quest 2). I tested with a lot of versions up to version 10.8.0 rev 1362 of VpinballX_GL 64 bit still the same... The upper part of the playfield (area of the CAB lights above the pop bumpers) is "wobbling" up and down in sync with the backglass lights. It's not a "stable" playfield look in VR. 

Any idea what causes this?

Thanks

I tested with a lot of versions up to version 10.8.0 rev 1362 

 

While it could be an issue with the table itself and the new lighting, 1362 is an old version
rev 1387 is current

Already on 1392

Just noticing on Blood Machines, if scorbit is enabled, cannot start table with 10.8 64bit.  This occours on both my cabinet and my desktop.  Disabling scorbit via the script brings the functionality back.

I noticed that the render UI in VR Headset has been addressed by vbousquet (Thank You) on GitHub. I tried VPinballX_GL-10.8.0-1392-f915f95-Release-win-x64 and the UI displays at the bottom left of the headset, only about 10% is visible. I'm using steam and a Valve Index headset.It looks centered on the cabinet display. Is there anyway to center it in the HMD?

Hi.

VPX8 GL over Linux+wine works pretty well. Even VPinMAME, B2S and FlexDMD works well. It requires specific versions of the other software and .dll’s: https://www.vpforums...=50740&p=525021.

I found two bugs:
- Using the -pov option of the command line, the resulting .pov file has the fields “inclination” = 0.
- VPX8 crashes when opening a table that contains images in .bmp format. This also happens with VPX7.

Trying rev. 1403 and 1408. They dont load pov file of the table (its there and the name is right). another thing notived, Max ambient occlusion stays at static ao setting, changing it does nothing, its back after opening again.

Depending on when you created said POVs, you may need to redo them as the code has changed. I just redid a bunch of my tables without issue.

Tried also the GL version (some say it should perform a bit better than DX) but in this version I get 50-60 fps less than in DX version... Any1 come across that ? Any known solutions ?

[jpsalas]

Yes, the DX version performs better than the GL version. If you don't use VR then simply use the DX version.

There was also a bug recently that if you had your 3D setting enabled, but turned off in game with F10 key, it would still perform as if the 3D was turned on. Not sure if it has been fixed but try disabling the 3D mode in Graphics settings if you have it set to any of the 3D modes.

One question about the ini for a table, if I want to change single setting from the ini file, the table.ini can have only that particular setting or it needs the whole ini file with that single thing changed ?

You can have only that setting.
