I had this problem before. 

1 Option explicit

 

Even if i remove this line, no matter what iI do, I get the same error message. "Description unavailable".

 

I love LINE DRIVE, i played it at the truck stop long ago. Would love a virtual version!

 

Is there a way to fix these games?

Did you edit the table script at all?

 

Getting that error means
 

Either you have made an error elsewhere in the script that invalidated everything

 

OR

 

Your vpx install and scripts folder is out of date

I've found this occurs when a script uses public variable declarations instead of dim variable declarations in vpx. Previous VP versions were ok with public declarations. If this is the issue, search and replace the word public with the word dim.

You might have this problem if a script has been ported from a earlier version of VP.

I fixed LINE DRIVE by changing this setting to false:

 

Const LaunchB2SBackglass = false 

 

I have a 16:9 laptop screen. I changed the table-view to:

 

 8

10

80

0

1.25

1.05

1

0

-220

-85

 

Loving it!

Sounds like maybe a very old, and out of date table

should not even need that const

You can open the VP Editor, and click Preferences tab at top, then click Keys Nudge and DOF.

Then you will see in lower right side of options window, a place to checkmark Disable B2S. (As seen in pic)
