Hello all, I just got done going through all my stuff and I even tried both VP 8 and VP 9 and I still get the same freeze up. When playing the game, when the ball goes through the left metal ball return (not sure if I'm describing this right) When it gets to the point where it's going to drop the ball down on to the table it just freezes and makes a buzzing noise. The ball just sits there and looks like it's getting some sort of electric shock therapy and then a constant buzz. Other than that it seems to work fine. Best looking game so far. Really bummed I can't play it. Any help would be great. Very much a newbie. :tapping:

A update to my post as I don't seem to have permision to edit my original post is that it turns out that both metal ball ramps do the same thing. I tried nudging the table but no go. As soon as the ball gets ready to drop it just freezes.
Thank your
Handy

You are playing the old LOTR with VP9. We use to make the end of the ramps using a kicker, and this doesn't work under VP9 because the kickers are too close.
So you need to download the updated VP9 version.

Play older tables with VP8 and the VP9 tables with VP9. VP8 and VP9 aren't 100% compatible.

Next table? A tribute table to Stern's Foo Fighters
