Don't know what causes it but I have noticed the same problem.  It only happens occasionally, and only when I have installed a new table that I do not have a ROM installed.  When I run it I get the error that I do not have the ROM.  If I go out and get the ROM and install it then click the play button without rerunning VP, I get that behavior.  IF I exit out of VP and run it again with the ROM installed everything works as normal.

I have also gotten that same behavior when I was testing 9.2 tables by closing and then loading a table repeatedly without shutting down VP.  It's almost like a memory leak, as it seems to happen faster with newer, higher graphics tables then it does with older EM tables.

Same here. closing and restarting VP does seem to take care of it and it doesn't occur again.

The link for T2 was dead because it was updated. Here are all links again for all tables that have been modified in the last few days:

TOTAN is new but not fully adjusted - I'll do that soon. MM has the catapult fix.

I've had an intermittent issue on the physmod version of T2.  Just a heads up: Occasionally when the ball drains, it gets "lost" under the apron somewhere and fails to register a drained ball.  I've tried shaking the table to see if that will get it to register, but it only tilts and I have to re-start the table.  It's happened to me 3 times over the course of a dozen or so plays (these were played as multi-player games, not sure if that matters, but thought it may be worth mentioning).

Evening, Quick question re. Physmod 5: I am presently trying to get Physmod 5 up and running in my cab along with some of the excellent sounding Physmod 5 tables. However, while I run VP 9.9 and Physmod 2 without any problems whatsoever when I run any of the Physmod 5 tables there seems to be some sort of input delay (occasionally there is massive lag between flipper button being pressed and the flipper moving and also delay in plunger firing after pressing the launch button) as well as flippers sticking open - basically making it nigh on unplayable. That said the rest of table seems to play fine and the ball is stutter free. Therefore anyone know what might be causing my delay/lag issues. Do it have to amend the flipper physics settings myself similar to Physmod 2? Thanks in advance.

Make sure in the physmod5 you have max prerendered frames set to 1

I got the ball blocked on the left ramp, juste after the magnet, when I go for "the ball 1 locked".

Am I the only one ?  :bye2:

 

EDIT : Yes, I was not using Physmod5 but Physmod, I'm using a script with pinballX to choose automaticely the good version of VP to launch, but it didn't work LOL Thank you for all this work ! It's amazing !
