Hello,

i am playing on one screen (Desktop). The table and the puppack runs fine but when the minigame starts i can not see the minigame playfield, it is hidden from the backglass,

 

Any ideas to solve the problem?

Thanks a lot!

I'm afraid I can't be on any help, since that table needs PuPlayer to run, and I have not installed that program. But you could specify if it is the original version from the orbital web or the VR edition from vpu, I guess that will help other players to help you.

 

If the table is not the one from vpu, then you should try that one since the author did a lot of changes to be able to look good in VR, so maybe he fixed that problem :)

 

Edit: there is even a solution to the problem at vpu: Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire Minigame problem - Pup-Pack Support - Virtual Pinball Universe

Hey thank you! I got the one from orbital web, I checked out the link you posted and I've taken the advice on that page. Just have to play and try to unlock the mini-game and see if it works now.

It looks to me that this pup pack was clearly not designed for 2 screen configurations. I ran it fine on 3 screen but having similar issues with 2 screen. There just isn't a good place to put the display that is supposed to be going to the fulldmd. I did however make it work although it doesn't look amazing. My solution was to update the dmd screen location in the pup pack editor so it was small and tucked up into the top left area of the backglass. The position and size can be adjusted to your needs.

I think I misunderstood the issue here. I hadn't played the table much and thought the mini game played on the 3rd DMD screen. Now that I have played it more the minigames seem to play fine on the main back glass for me. The issue must have been resolved.
