Hey all. Im new here and new to virtual pinball, but trust me, Ive been lurking. I just got the new Vpinworkshop Fish Tales table installed and can see that it requires 64-bit. I started afresh, scrapped my old VPX installation, after backing it up. I did the Popper Baller Installer so I could get everything in one package. Previous attempts at installing it failed but I worked through the issues (thanks to the forums) and gave it another try. Success! Im now adding tables and media and its great! However! When I go to play the new Fish Tales, Pinup seems to be starting it from 32-bit VPX and it wont work. If I exit Pinup and open up the table directly with the VPX file it will open the 64-bit version of VPX and the table works fine. I could not find a solution to this intuitively clicking around or searching forums, though Im sure its out there somewhere. Help?

I'm a newbie and just ran into this. In your games manager, go to Fish Tales and at the bottom of the config you'll see an option for "Alternate Launcher". From the dropdown choose the 64 bit VPX.

No, I haven't completed my build yet. Just been getting familiar with everything.
