I have tearing in some of my tables and get stutter if I use Vsync=1

If I enable "force exclusive fullscreen" I get steady 60fps with Vsync=1 and also no tearing:)

The downside is that I have to change ddraw to 0.

I have read about how to change all at the same time, but I´m not that familiar with regedit.

Can someone guide me step by step how to change all draw at the same time

I have both vp9 + vpx tables, but only vpx use exclusive fullscreen. What happens with vp9 roms when I change ALL roms to ddraw=0?

Do you have Windows Aero settings on? Anyway you will have some tear problem with some lights.

I don't use aero, but i have tried with it on and it do not help, it is one table that is the worst, I have a vertical line from top to bottom and all moving parts in that line tear. But not in exclusive fullscreen and vsync=1

To mass change VPM keys export this entire folder from the registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Freeware\Visual PinMame\

Using regedit you right click and export.

Then do a find replace of the registry key you wish to change and save the file then you double-click on the file and it will re-import the registry keys into the registry and you'll be all set

I manage to exporting the visual pinmame folder.

But in the nex line you lost me:

"Then do a find replace of the registry key you wish to change and save the file then you double-click on the file and it will re-import the registry keys into the registry and you'll be all set"

How do I do a find replace?

How do I do a find replace?

It is regular text file, open in notepad or your favorite text editor

Got it working on my cab! But some tables won't show the direct2s on my backbox when starting in pinballx. Works flawlessly when starting from VPX.

I have searched the forums for answers... I can't find a solution. Can someone piont me in the right direction?

The fix for this is to disable exclusive fullscreen.  There is a work-around that is supported in the newer version of DirectB2S Server that is discussed on the "other" site

Strange, there must be a lot of people using exclusive fullscreen and PinballX?
