Is it just the tables that take longer to load that have the issue? I think there may be a limit on how long the loading screen / video is displayed for (but i'm not 100% on that), so maybe the slower loading tables just go beyond that.

If it is that maybe you could speed up load times, use SSD if you're not already, anti virus exclusions etc.

 

Edit - similar post here https://www.gameex.info/forums/topic/23765-loading-screen-disappears-vpx-still-loading/, no resolution so just for info

Hi Scutters,

Yes I think that is the case - just the ones that take awhile to load.
Already using an SSD and have the relevant folders on anti virus exclusions :-(
So no way of staying on the loading video longer then?

The timeout in pbx is set to 90 sec. But I see that your table is launched within 52 seconds. So not simular to the other one

Don't know what your vpx video settings but if you have texture compression set to on that will slow down load time.

Can you confirm the table in the log file you posted was one where you saw the issue? (for timing info)

Hi - yes I can confirm that it is the table in the log file.
It only happening with a few tables, maybe 3 or 4.
Attached are my video settings.
I don't have a powerful PC - it is an AMD A8-6500 APU 3.49GHz with 24GB of RAM and I have a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Graphics Card.

My guess is you need to beef up the hardware , but double check the AV exclusions and maybe play around with the VPX settings to see if they help (the main thing that would slow it down is texture compression but you have that turned off already)

Maybe @Tom Speirs will have a better suggestion.

PinballX was created prior VPX when tables were not so demanding. I probably need to come up for a solution for this. Not sure best way just yet. Ill go with an overadeidable delay for the next release.

Thanks Tom - much appreciated.
