Hello all.

 

Hope someone can point me in the direction to sort problem I have with desktop version of VPX (10.8 Rev.2051)

Most tables on desktop PC ball is slower and always drifts to the right, does not do this on VPX cabinet I have. Both of which run Windows 10 64bit.

Any ideas what's wrong?

 

Have reinstalled desktop version but still has same odd behaviour.

Lupin, for the drift you probably have some kind of controller or other input device that's not calibrated, check your connections first. 

What are the specs of desktop vs. cabinet?

THANKS.

Yep that's it. Odd Xbox 360 controller working ok with other games, maybe needs better calibration.

As for specs for reference. GTX 1070 desktop (Main game machine) and GTX 1050 on cabinet.

Yes please recalibrate the controller first. 

The ball being "slower" probably also has to do with this, I'm guessing the controller is constantly nudging the playfield up and to the right, that's why you might have a narrower slope and constant deflection to the right.
