THis is the one I use : Pinball FX3.xml

3.91 looks much better. I didn't notice the quality drop in the previous version as well. But glad that Scutters has good eyes and my 4k phone did the trick. @scutters, is this looks better for you ? 20191014_124415[1].mp4

Youre right @scutters. Didn't noticed that before. I think Tom lowered the resolution for speeding it up, but thats just a lucky guess from my side

Checked 3.90 (man you go fast with the releases). Looks a bit the same as 3.87, but I say it is fine (Indeed slower than 1920x1080 videos) Attached a video that launched a 4k table 20191014_100256[1].mp4

I can modify the gif, but that make it really large. Now I can make it 4-5mb and loads fast. Maybe if you have some time left next year, you can think about this feature. I will try 3.89 a bit later today

hey Tom. Just installed 3.88. and the loading time decreased enormous . Not as fast as a HD movie, but the UHD now loads in 2 sec including the animated gif (so 2 sec of black screen, instead of 5) . For me this isn't a point that it is annoying anymore ! Is there a way (for you) to implement the location of the animated gifs ? Right now it is in the middle of the screen, maybe some people want to have it on the top and I prefer them on the bottom Again mate, Good work !

Good catch @Draco1962! That this was not the steam version. I didn't noticed that. Normally the steam games are under the steam directory, but you have a "standalone" version. Right now you want to launch steam.exe but the path doesn't match to fx3 game. First try it if you can launch it from the command line (outside pinballx). Try instead of steam.exe the path to pinball fx3.exe with the parameters. This also works for the original steam version and loads a coupke of seconds faster.

Can you try to run PinballX as admin and retry ?

Thanks for stil using the video tool. I made this also as animated gif(transparant) and was 4 mb. Load fast, but 4k video takes arround 5 second. And the animated gif is in the middle, not at the bottom. So still use your plugin and the program to create the videos

Dirty Harry 76 Frames. Looks best between 4-5 sec. DH_Dark.zip DH_Light.zip If people still uses the Video creating tool : VideoLengthMs1 = 5000 ImageMask1 = "DH_%%.png" BitRate1 = 5 Dark and Light one (specially for Scutters)

Sorry guys, did'nt have time to do any checks at the cab till now. But I see that 3.85 fix the broken realDMD for me ! Thanks Tom (again !)

I don't understanding your exact problem, but can you post your pbx log and ini file and your fx3 database xml as an attachment, we can have a closer look. Pkease post your log after the issue happen

I tested 3.83 too. The Gif is indeed load must faster, but the image takes indeed just that too much time that it feels like nothing is happening. Edit : I tested with fullhd (1920x1080) video and those loads indeed very fast and also with animated gif of 3 mb But using a UHD (3840x2160) there is a significant extra delay when showing the screenshot

Your right @BrandonLaw From 3.82 the real DMD is not showing for me too

What real dmd do you have ?

Need to wait till tonight for me Tom to test. Will try to create some animated gifs too in the weekend for testing

It takes a snapshot for the playfield I selected and put a random gif on it (or that is how it looks like). Good work Tom !

fixed in 3.10 ??? I have 3.82 now, and indeed fixed. I say : Resolved !

So in the next release, we create small giffs and pbx will resize it ? Thanks Tom

And, its not the exit button, to use, but via menu, go to the system again. Or isn't this what you mean ? And dumb questions doesn't exists. Only dumb answers...

So after you checked the checkbox it is working?

Found another small thing with b2sserver. When putting the game on pause, and i return to play, the b2sserver is not focused anymore

Create job @Tom Speirs ! Back glasses are working like a charm ! Even the pinup back glasses works fine now! And a big hurray for the FFmpeg command you used for Nvidia captures. From average of 12 minutes to convert it now takes 30 seconds !

I have the same. Tried to rotate them . Used a 1920x1080 gif on ultra hd screen. It also took some time (black screen) to take the screenimage and the gif took another couple of seconds.

Do you have "hide dmd" checked in game manger per table ? If this option is unchecked, the dmd remain from pbx over vpx. The next screenshot will keep the dmd and the backglass from pbx
