I don't normally post here as I'm not a tester, yet I value the reoccurring diligence on the project!

 

But...

 

What's the deal with the Properties panel always resetting?  Each time I run the editor, the panel needs to be dragged down and over for use.  Drives me nuts.  I'm sure I've missed something and own my own stupidity.

 

Could be that the reg entry for it got jacked, i have had it happen before

had to delete it so i could reset it

 

Also, and this may not be your case, but resolution changes seem to throw it out of whack, if it changes while the vpx is running

Thanks!  Based on that....I do run Portrait and Windowed for editing on the cab...maybe something to investigate if I can run F/S and it does not change.

 

Also, reg entry for vpinballx.exe?  Do you just blow it out and let it rebuild?

[Thalamus]

It is safe to delete the reg for VPX - yes. It just means you have to setup your preferences all over again if they differ from defaults.

Hi,

I have no Backglass and no Toys (Solenoids) with V10.7, in 10.62 is all ok.

Can anyone help, thx

[Wylte]

Not new (since 10.6.2 at least), but not fixed either - when I zoom in to maximum in the editor, I lose the ability to zoom out with ctrl+mouse wheel.  Using the magnifying glass zoom tool to go just one step out fixes it, but it's a constant annoyance when doing details.

get same in 10.6.1 as well, zoom in one too far and mouse wheel Zoom stops

control + right click pops it back out one level and takes care of it, but still annoying

Here's a fun one, not sure how to reproduce yet:

 

Adding a bunch of lights and objects to a table, so I've been assigning things to layers often.  I  moved something once and all my layers disappeared; fixed with a save+quit and layers were back.

Later went to move a couple stray objects from the lights layer to physical - all lights (none selected) were moved out of the layer, leaving it empty.  Couldn't assign them back, and on reopening the table that layer was gone completely.  Created new layer and renamed it "Lights", but nothing can be assigned to it.  Another new layer with any other name works without issue.  Another Save+Quit, anomalous Lights layer is gone, and new layer can be renamed to Lights without causing further issue.

 

I'll update this post if I can figure out what made it happen in the first place :-/

Yes, the layer display still some times bugs out, but i also can not reproduce at will

 

On the second thing, when you remove all objects from a layer, they layer is now gone
the list does not update (think that is a small bug in itself) but the layer is not there, so while you can see it, it exists in loving memory only
you can not put anything into it

Star Wars Bounty Hunter table v2.1 don't load and crash VPX_7_beta_rev188_rc and VPX_7_beta_rev185_rc.

 

 

Work great with VPX_7_beta_rev169 on my laptop

 

Something seems broken with the two rc version.

 

 

Thanks

What is this pure virtual function call error?

 

It is continual but annoying, you have to exit out to stop it

Same, does not even load into editor

no error

no crash log, no dump

Starwars Bountyhunter 1.X works

2.X VPX just exits before going any place

 

Loads fine in 10.6.2 and 10.6.2 and loads fine a few builds ago also

 

EDIT

I meant CONTINUEABLE not CONTINUAL meaning not fatal so far

is there a reason I can't select 1080x1920 portrait mode (windowed) like before, I only have non-native selections and stuff, sorry if its been reported already.

 

to get around this I'm using VPX non-beta to set my VPX visual settings and not entering and saving in the beta, but hoping that once this is out of beta I won't have to resort to weird workaround. anyone know whats up?

Star Wars Bounty Hunter table v2.1 don't load and crash VPX_7_beta_rev188_rc and VPX_7_beta_rev185_rc.

Neat!

Another case where some table was somehow able to squeeze in more data in a certain spot than feasible (i.e. leading to memory corruption). 

This is due to VPX now checking more things. I will replace the light blinking array then to be of 'unlimited' size.

Just have a table open for an extended duration moving lots of parts around.

That is literally all i have been doing all 3 times it happened today

 

It does not crash out

you can save, it pops 2 of those errors each time you save

but seems to do no harm other wise, but as i dont trust a friendly error, i save and quit and relaunch
