Would it be possible to sort the list by color/status?    That would make it easier for folks to focus on the unanalyzed items.   Without edit access it doesn't let me sort. 

 

TAF gold that I reported has the root cause listed but still says "needs investigation".   Should be "needs to be fixed by table author".   R&B has a wrong "Fix" listed - it looks like it got copied and pasted from the TAF gold.   I don't think there are any problems outside of the FXAA issue, which is on the known issues list for VP DX9.    I just didn't understand that the table was forcing an override at the time I submitted it.  

 

This spreadsheet is great but it's unfortunate that we can't update it after we've submitted a finding, gtxjoe is stuck doing all of the follow-up.

I was just about to ask for any feedback on my post #1369, but then saw it was recognized by gtxjoe in the compatibility list. Thanks for that!
May I ask for feedback on the vsync issue? Is it individual to my setup, or is this something noticed before? Is it something special for TSPP?

For whatever reason, any table I load in the dx9 builds comes up black.

The dx7 version of visual pinball works fine though.

Hardware/OS?

Just want to report this and dont know if it has something to to with the directx version of vp but we got for the 3th time a ball stuck in demolition man teppotee build, somewhere in the middle near pop bumpers.

Old version of the demolition man table seems to be fine.

slashbot: not related to dx9 version. The ball is bigger in my MOD so that may cause some problems that I haven't noticed. Hoping to update it soon anyway so I will try to take a look.

As I suspected. I have the same issue when I use the on-board Intel graphics on my laptop. I haven't taken the time to debug this, so I don't know if it's fixable.

 

If this is a desktop computer, picking up a cheap/used Nvidia card would be an easy way out. People are getting pretty good framerates even with cards that are a generation or two behind. Otherwise, if it's a laptop, you can only wait and see if a fix is found, I'm afraid.

My Intel had graphics. On board chip plays everything smooth.
It's a 4000 series chip. And windows 8 64 pro
On my lenovo pro. Even at extra high resolutions

[DJRobX]

It worked fine with the Intel HD 4600 IGP on my H86M Pro4 mainboard.      Framerates were in the 70's range for full screen 1920x1080.  Not bad for onboard video. 

[mukuste]

Mine is an Intel HD Graphics 3000, so I guess they fixed something in the newer revisions.

Me too, I have trouble capturing the screen, sometimes it works.
I have noticed that there are darker areas, the sides of the hole seems there are some oil stains,
something similar happens also on target.
When I can capture the right screen , every time that I start rendering the result changes, I will post some pictures.

 

Thanks

The sides of the holes are made with walls, occasionally there are also spots in the three central target
At the top of the image, the plastics as seen in VP920, below lacks transparency between the plastic of the left and the middle.
The bulbs are made with the bumper, are off instead of being turned on.
The triangular shape, is often very visible.

XP and ATI HD 5770 with the latest drivers available for this card.

 

 

Thanks

The spots on the sides of the walls is not a problem unique to this table, occurs on all the tables with the test6-test11 (test5a is OK).
Here gogo69 noticed a graph glitch on the Ringmaster but not the lines on the two yellow target.

The bumper turned on by the property panel from test5a don't work, turn on the bumper via scripts, it works (test4 is OK).

 

Thanks

Hi DreamTrap and DJRobX,

 

thank You for the hint on R&B. I will default the values for FXAA and Anti Aliasing to -1 in the next version.

 

Regards

I fixed the bumper bug, thanks.

 

The dark lines on the yellow CV targets can be fixed by disabling lighting on those walls.

 

I don't quite understand the spots you talk about. This is on all tables you say?

The graphics glitch change, not only dark lines,

dark spots on the sides of the walls/Targets,

or target divided diagonally, half light and half dark.

 

Yes, this for all tables.

One small thing for the next test: I added the possibility to supply an environment on wired ramps. Just apply an evironmap as image to a wired ramp. This can have some impact on released tables where an image was applied to a wired ramp but in previous versions VP just didn't use the image at all. So it could look odd then.

[unclewilly]

What does that do. Is it like sphere mapping the wired ramp?

[fuzzel]

Yep sphere mapping = environment mapping

[atarian]

Fantastic - many thanks for the awesome work. I just tried the test 11 and it plays so many tables with no problems in my 2 screen setup. Initially I had bad stutter but that was because I stupidly didn't flip to Windowed Fullscreen (read the manual!). I use FXAA in nVidia under win7 and get NOT even a tiny stutter -nothing! b2s and directb2s with separate exe works perfect.

Found issue with the excellent FS Robowar table:
http://www.vpforums....s&showfile=6033

Ball runs over top of 3 pop bumpers. I tried Bring to Front but no joy, but I maybe doing it wrong. If anyone knows if a table adjustment can be made could they please describe the steps. Thanks.
