Guardians of the Galaxy no longer loading in VPX


Best Answer Outhere , 15 April 2021 - 06:22 AM

Weird...still the same issue. Manual install and everything.

 

It's possible my Guardians became corrupt...but the odd thing is still occurring with Jurassic Park. I accidentally loaded the table without setting cabinet mode in graphic settings, and the ball launched out of the chute and into the playfield not a problem, played great. So I got excited, then I exited and changed it to cabinet mode. And unfortunately, back to the same issue where the ball can't get out of the shoot. Odd, it's as if in desktop mode it has a shorter distance to travel, and can make it out of the chute, but in cabinet mode it can't go far enough. Weird, maybe some odd physics involved or tweaked somehow?

 

I guess I'm stuck with these issues. Maybe the tables will eventually be reuploaded out there and I can try redownloading them. Maybe they became corrupt in some odd way when I backed them up.

 

Thanks all for the help! I really appreciate it!

 

But I am stumped. :(

distance is same no matter the POV or rotation

but if your cab POV is messed up and like the zscale is anything but 1
it can literally smash the glass to the ball and the ball cant move, or go the opposite and literally tear the table open so the ball goes under stuff it should not, and other weird things.

 

you you have a POV file for that table, try removing it.
or if the POV seems messed up but is hard saved

0 out the tables FS pov

set an inclination of 0
FOX of like 48
layback 60

x y and z scales 1

x/y rotation 270 

and start with the x and y offsets 0

and z offset like -200

 

wont look purty, but just see if it plays

Blessings Outhere!

 

That was the issue at least for Guardians! Holy smokes...maybe something was wrong with my backup and these got corrupted. I will be patient and maybe wait for these tables to start to be re-uploaded to new sources. I think I got a lot of the tables on vpinball a while back, maybe that has been the issue the entire time...corrupt files.

 

Wiesshund....that makes sense..ok, when I get a chance to escape work I will test that..I think I do have POV files I set up at one point, will let you know. Not sure if I should start a new thread for that specific issue on that table, would hate to confuse anyone googling and coming here.

 

Thank you all for the help!

Update: Jurassic park issue was a POV issue.

Weisshund nailed it for my issue with Jurassic park. Some reason upgrading to windows 10 must be different with the POV on some tables, or it too became corrupt when I backed everything up.

Thank you! All

Was a long road getting there but we did it! Haha

I'll go through the other tables and see what issues pop up, but at least they appear to be fixable.

Thanks again!

 

*So I guess I cannot mark two posts as the answer, let me know if I should start another topic on the Jurassic one and then reference this post for the fix.  Sorry Weisshund.
