Loading table takes more then 4 minutes by PBX....

[Jopp]

Hello,

On my cab I have a lot of tables and all run and load fine within PinballX.

Only problem with 1 specific table: Gorillaz. 

https://vpuniverse.com/files/file/22258-gorillaz/

When selecting this table within PBX, things start normal: I have my Loading video on my main screen waiting for the table to load...but.

After 40 sec this video disappears (I guess this is the length of the video) and all screens (topper, BG, PF) are black, just looks like it's a major freeze.

But...after 3 min 50 the BG appears and 15 sec later (which is also long compared to normal) the table appears and I can play making it a total of more then 4 minutes before this table is ready.

All other tables are running within seconds. Also, when starting this table directly with VPX10.8 GL it runs within seconds.

Installed latest PBX version (6.20) but no succes.

Thank you

Im fine with tables being posted. No roms though.

I will look shortly but one suggestion. Please try running PinballX in full screen windowed mode.

Please provide the files again.

Thank you.

Well..I thought it would be handy to know exactly what table i was having problems with (as it is 1 specific table)

But ok, all fine.

I tried FSwindowed....exactly the same result.

Again, please post the files again. You can listen to me.

[Jopp]

what are you looking for??

Both log files and ini files I have posted again, see post above (seperate so not in a zip file...)

Anything else?

@Tom Speirs if you are referring to the link for the table it is restored in the original post and here:

My apologies for the confusion as tables used to be verboten.

I noticed you installed all in the windows 'program files' folder.

From the past, this was always a bad choice as windows has more restrictions on it

[Jopp]

Well....it is not directly in the windows -> programs folder.

Windows is installed on a seperate ( C  : )  drive and the rest, including subfolders like Program Files is on a (also physical) different drive (D in this case).

The folders you mention do exist under the C; (and windows use them) but I do not use them for VPX, just gave them the same names.

And besides V2:  all other tables (>600) run and load fine. Not superfast but within 20..30 seconds where this specifice table takes more then 4 minutes.

Thanks for your input Mike!

I did not mean to imply that it was the cause of your issue. I was merely making an observation.

I don't have that table  on my cabinet, but try to set the full screen exclusive hack for vpx. Maybe that will help a bit. 

Edit: How about using the DX version of VP 10.8 ? Or is this because you run VR, 3d anaglyph or headtracking that you need to run GL?(just for testing)

[Jopp]

thanks Mike.

Well....I do have the DX as well but it is giving me micro ball-stutters where the GL version is working great.

The loading problem I reported here has purely (afaik) to do with PBX and or the combination with this table:
when loading and running tis specific table directly with VPX it runs great.

WHEN it does start with PBX (>4min) it runs also great...just 4 minutes waiting is not normal (all other tables run fine).

Sounds similar to this issue with RC5 - https://github.com/vpinball/vpinball/issues/1962, even though it seems to affect you with only one table and only when opened through PinballX.

Can you try with RC4 GL version of VPX instead and see if the issue is still present?
