PinballX suddenly running too fast

[jupiter]

Hi Tom

I am not sure what has happening but everything is running too fast in PinballX only the last few days and I have been using it fine since the early versions. When the app loads the intro text at the bottom scrolls at 2-3 times normal speed. The wheel also rotates really quickly. ie: 1 press rotates to next entry almost instantly whereas before you could see it rotate (although quickly). This speed has the undesirable effect that sometimes backglass doesn't display correctly.

I also noticed that after startup image had loaded, screen goes blank for about 3-4 seconds before wheel appears whereas before it was instant.

I just updated to latest version but still happening. I am trying to work out what has happened. It is as if the programs timings are messed up. Any ideas what this could be? Cheers

Sounds like it is not VSyncing. Did you mess with Video Driver settings? Also check the Full Screen Windowed setting.

Cheers Tom! Spot on. I just checked and forgot I had indeed been messing with some video settings for VP 9.90 and accidentally left vsync forced off instead of use App setting so back to normal speed now.

There is still a 3-4 sec delay after start up image disappears and the log says this:

It looks like the game stats is suddenly taking a long time where it was instantaneous before. Is there something I can check or clear down? Thanks in advance.
