I'm trying to open Stern's Quicksilver but this error shows up: Fatal error: H Result 8876086c at RenderDevice etc (couldn't get the rest of the error because therror window has closed.

[Drybonz]

Hey 4everboots, that could mean a number of things... but it might mean you need to update your version of direct x 9 to the latest version.

You can also try this...

Seeing how its only this table giving you the Error Message, it is probably not DirectX related.

 

 

Quicksilver (Stern 1980 4p) VPM9.9 DT v1.1 mfuegemann
in VPinMAME 9.x Recreations

IF TABLE FAILS TO START AND SAYS...
FATAL ERROR
START VISUAL PINBALL EDITOR FROM SHORTCUT ON DESKTOP
CLICK THE PREFRENCES TAB
CLICK VIDEO OPTIONS
IN THE "MAX TEXTURE DIMENSION" SECTION IN LOWER-RIGHT
CHANGE SETTING FROM UNLIMITED
CLICK ANY SETTING BUT UNLIMITED
CLICK OK AND THEN CLOSE VISUAL PINBALL EDITOR
TABLE WILL NOW RUN WHEN LOADED INTO EDITOR

 

 

You will find out that quite a few Tables in the Dowloads Section will need this done to get them working properly.

 

This info is in the text attachment at the end of the Using dB2S for 1 Monitor Users Tutorial.

I added this info after downloading every table available here and trying to get dB2S backglass working with it on 1 screen. The tables that I had a problem with, I explain how I got past the problem.

You may find other helpful info in the text file attachment also.

Here is link to text attachment...

If i finds it lol.

[xenonph]

To start the Visual Pinball Editor, (If you don't have shortcuts on your Desktop), go into your Visual Pinball Folder wherever you installed it on your system, and just click the VP.exe. (This starts the Editor that you are looking for.) Then load the table into the editor by clicking the TAB "File" and "Open". Then browse to your table and load it into editor. It will not start automatically this way.

Or you may not even need to load the table first. Just change the settings in your Video Settings, Close the editor, and try the table again.

After the Table is loaded into the Visual Pinball Editor, then go to your Video Settings as described above.

Hope this helps you.

THIS IS WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE...

Sorry guys but this is not getting anywhere. I tried looking on Visual Pinball Folder but the editor isn't there (i could swear i had it). Somehow it vanished. Ok let's do something: let's ALL take some break until i figure out something to fix all this mess. Take care you all. 

[xenonph]

JUST CLICK YOUR VP.EXE THAT STARTS THE VISUAL PINBALL PROGRAM. (VPX.EXE,VP9.EXE)

IT IS LOCATED WHERE YOU INSTALLED VISUAL PINBALL.

THIS IS HOW MOST HAD TO START THERE TABLES BEFORE FRONTENDS DID IT FOR YOU, AND JUST DOUBLE-CLICKING A TABLE AS THERE ARE DIFFERENT VERSIONS, MAY NOT START THE TABLE WITH CORRECT .EXE.

FOR INSTANCE, IF I WANT TO PLAY A PHYSMOD5 VERSION TABLE, I HAVE TO START THOSE VERSION TABLES WITH THE PHYSMOD5 .EXE (OTHERWISE JUST DOUBLE-CLICKING THESE TABLES STARTS IT IN VP9 AND NOT PHYSMOD5 AND MAKES THE TABLE NOT PLAYABLE.

SO GO FIND YOUR VP9.EXE OR WHICHEVER VERSION YOU ARE USING AND DOUBLE CLICK IT FROM YOUR VISUAL PINBALL FOLDER.

THIS IS WHAT MINE LOOKS LIKE..

 

THEN YOU WILL SEE THIS..

 

 

You only need to do this once and all the tables will work that didnt work because of this issue.

[4EVERBOOTS]

Okkkk FINALLY i got it. At first it thought the VP Editor was something else lol (im on my way for a trip and got my mind "blurry" lol). Excellent job as always xenonph!!!! Thanks a lot man    

[4EVERBOOTS]

The update to direct x fixed the problem. Not only on one table but the tables i have on an external hard drive. Most of them were showing the error.

Thanks Drybonz!!

[Drybonz]

No problem... glad you got it working, man.  Have fun.

[xenonph]

Why dont you go back into your settings that I just showed you how to do, and switch it back to what it was on the unlimited setting in Video Settings for Max Texture Dimension, and then tell us if all your tables are still working that didnt work before. If it was a DirectX issue, none of the tables would have worked for you.

Glad you got it working regardless.

[Drybonz]

Hey Xenon... I had the same problem in the past on a couple tables and the directx update fixed it... found it suggested in another thread.  That was the only reason I suggested it.

[xenonph]

Still very good advice Drybonz.

I actually thought you meant they updated the DirectX 9.0c and so I checked your download link, but it is the same one made back in 2007.

I could only get VP9 to work for me this last summer 1 year ago. (So I am a beginner at all this.) I had to install the DirectX also to get it working. Also had to right click and go to properties and do all the compatibility stuff.(I have a Win Vista64bit.)

 

Carry on Sir.

[Drybonz]

Yeah, apparently I, and maybe some other people, had been floating around without the last version of directx9 on my latest Windows install and may have needed at least some element of it that I didn't have.  or something... lol

[xenonph]

For those that dont want to hook there PC to internet but still need DirectX installed,

 

Here is an OFFLINE INSTALLER found on this page...

https://www.microsof...ls.aspx?id=8109

 

 

Direct Download  Link with no pesky Ads added or other intrusive Microsoft Products they try to add to download..

https://www.microsof...on.aspx?id=8109

 

Copy to a USB Stick or CD and transfer over to computer that is offline.

Simply click the exe to start the install.

Holy cow Boots! You are having almost as many problems as me! LOL

Did you get pinballx working?

[4EVERBOOTS]

Why dont you go back into your settings that I just showed you how to do, and switch it back to what it was on the unlimited setting in Video Settings for Max Texture Dimension, and then tell us if all your tables are still working that didnt work before. If it was a DirectX issue, none of the tables would have worked for you.

Glad you got it working regardless.

I changed a few settings and it worked like you said xenonph and it worked!! 

For now none of the tables isn't showing the errors.
