Make sure you click on the table to ensure that the focus is on the table. If it isn't, that will happen.

Re-map the Insert Coin and Game Start keys on your keyboard. Certain keys are disabled when the camera is in Manual view.

i have remaped these keys to other keys and still can't insert coin nor start games . again just says game over in top right hand and thats it. i can nudge the table but flikers and insert keys just do nothing. i can see frame rate when pushing the keys manual view and fixes Im running it on an i5 laptop with good video card i know its not that. The table looks so nice and i can't play it .

I have no idea what's causing this. You can bypass the Insert Coin and Start Buttons completely with a very simple adjustment to the script. This will start the game immediately when the table is loaded:

In the Subroutine FuturePinball_BeginPlay() (normally the first Subroutine in the script at the top)

Insert this line of code at the very end (just before the Exit Sub):

ResetForNewGame()

Do that for every table and you'll never have to Insert a Coin or Press the Start Key again (when the game first loads)

You have to run FP as administrator, this will fix the problem.
