Strange ball physics in vr


Best Answer xenonph , Yesterday, 12:58 AM

Ive been trying to figure out a super weird issue Ive been having with VR.

All the tables I try to play in VR will play correctly at first but after some amount of play time the ball starts acting strange, almost like the table slope almost goes to zero or something. The ball then begins rolling around oddly on the playfield like it has almost no gravity. Ive looked at the vr slope setting when this occurs and it still shows the correct value. This seems completely wrong crazy but it keeps happening so something is up. Everything is perfect in 2d mode, no issues whatsoever. Ill keep trying things but this is so strange.

 

Do you use a controller? Try unplugging it, and plug back in.

This behaviour sounds like you have an analog stick on a controller that is stuck, or sticking.

OMG that’s it! I spent hours messing around trying to figure this out!
