I wanna see your Global Physics Settings!  What is everyone's set to these days?

Just changed mine for the first time and WOW!

If you configure these global settings you will break all my tables, and I guess 99% of all the other tables too, as many tables use own values specially adapted for the tables. For example all the tables that uses my physics settings or the nFozzy/Rothbauer/VPW settings they will behave not as intended.

Any examples for some tables?

I do not have any example for you since each table is different, and the physics are not only about changing the table and flipper settings, you also need to change every object that it is in contact with the ball. Each author has his own ideas about how all these settings should be set, and those global settings is just the top of the iceberg. The important is that all the object settings are balanced. I have explained my point of view here: https://www.vpforums...showtopic=45351

 

I do not say that my ideas are the best, but they are the result of many years of experience with VP I also aim my tables to be able to be played on modern and also on older computers, and the best for me was to try to adjust the VPX settings the best I could. I'm sure that I could stil tweak those settings even more

I think if you haven't changed Set 2, just click on it and it should show you what to put back in set 1. If all the sets are different then you may need further guidance or an export or screenshot of defaults.

Sometimes it can be the ball texture and decal.

 

one simple test is load JP's chrome ball (Yes saddly only 1 ball)
with no decal and test table without saving.

 

If still blurry you know it is not a ball texture issue, cause JP's ball is nice and crisp
