In theory GTS3 alpha should now work as before again. How (with VPX or via setup.exe) and which games did you test?

I tried with the latest beta and the official version (VPX6-7), Surf'n Safari and Lights Camera Action,

it could be that the problem appears immediately,

or it is as if the display starts to degrade over time and the segments burn out one after the other.

Which output do you use there? The VPM window, the segment rendering of the table itself, or some external DMD/freezy?

The VPM window.

Okay, yes, this one i can repro. If the table also pulls the segments (in order to maybe display them e.g. in desktop mode), then the VPM window is unfortunately buggy.
