Tom Speirs Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I attach 2.66 here. It features hardware accelerated video rendering so it should support 4k and 60fps no problem on modern machines. It also has the change to slimdx which did cause a few issues last time I released it but I believe I have fixed those issues. Please take one for the team and test. There should be no problem overwriting this version with the current official release if it does not work well for you. Thanks.

Outhere Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Seems to work, I did not noticed any difference between this one and the current version but I do not have 4K , was that the only reason for the upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, primarily and the dirextx9 library API has been upgraded. Video performance will also be much improved on lower end hardware. It has some fairly significant changes in order to accomplish that though so want it tested. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outhere Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I'm running an I7 with a 660 video card so I really won't get much benefit from this but glad to see that you are continually improving the front end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rablack97 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 yes that was it, 2.66 turned color settings off. Ultradmd is now broken though none of my games that use ultradmd, dmd doesn't display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Speirs Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 Looks pretty normal to me and working fine. Is there any logging you can do on UltraDMD to see what the problem is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rablack97 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 im working on it......did this update touch the xdmd.dll's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing its a directx conflict but its odd that your color setting changed. As I cant see how that could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rablack97 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 yep that's the first time that setting has ever changed. im still troubleshooting it i've reinstalled ultradmd and replaced the dll's and still nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you showing any images or videos from PinballX when UltraDMD is running? Is PinMAME working fine? Is it working outside of PinballX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rablack97 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 It was files in the ultradmd folder, nothing in PBX, not sure what 2.66 installation did, but it switched my dmd color off, and skewed my ultra dmd, everything works fine. Only thing really noticable is load times and exit times have slightly they seem to take longer now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xagesz Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Tom. I am on 2.67 and getting nothing but crashing. I have yet to have a problem up to this point. Am running 4k at 60hz. 7700k GTX 1080 and 16gb Ram. Computer is built to spec. It will run for 4 or 5 tables then crash. Then when scrolling through tables it will scroll smooth but won't change video til i stop on a wheel. Then black for 1/2 second. then video. SO 2.67 was unusable for me. I have been playing with it for 30 minutes and my backglasses crash 10 seconds into pbx loading. The scrolling is snappy just not the videos. I went back to 2.65 and although a bit slow is far smoother and enjoyable. and does not crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
