Upgrading VPX 10.8 Edition

A few tables have hit recently that require 10.8. Per request, here is a video explaining the files and the process. I have included only 64-bit here, so follow my other guides if you need that upgrade.
VPX 10.8 Beta: github.com/vpi...
Same process would apply to the 32-bit version, but I would use one or the other, no need to have both here.

the reason to install 10.8 32bit is the new low latency mode. Swap to "Frame Pacing " mode in the input / physics options for a massive difference. It no longer ties the physics to the game frame rate so input latency is now both constant, and much lower.

Frame pacing really helps when you run a 60hz monitor or a TV!

Previously I installed 10.7.2 using an installer available on vpforums. I play exclusively on single-screen desktop, and something in that installation allowed me to simply double-click a .vpx file to launch the game immediately. The "quit" option in the esc menu also quit VPX entirely instead of going to the editor. In 10.8, I haven't been able to find that setting. Do you know where it's located?

@vpinhub 8 ай бұрын

To quit in 10.8, I have been hitting "q" multiple times, but agree it is different in the new versions, and I have reported this on the github page also.

You are most welcome! You can open a table saved in another version, and then just ignore the message and then save the file once more, which will stop the error. If a table is saved in 10.8, and then you open it in a previous version, you will get that warning.

Did exactly this (except with a newer x64 release) and not only do the 10.8 tables not work, now the older tables don't work, either. The video only later says about the whole VPinMame thing, mine seems to be 32bit, though I don't know why I would have installed anything 32bit if I had the option a year ago when I installed 10.7.2 (without any problems). Eh, I guess I'll just keep playing 10.7.2, this just makes me hate the whole thing.

Are you using PAC, SERUM, or pal/vni files? Which table, all tables? Right now as an FYI, I am only using 10.8 for the one table that I play needing it. All else I am running in 10.74 until the final release version. I use SERUM and PAL/VNI, no issues there. PAC I have not tested, it is a closed source format and I prefer open source.

64-bit was an entirely new framework, this is just a simple upgrade to bring 64-bit to the 10.8 beta. It is really only needed for one or two tables right now, but VPW is indicating that they will be releasing new tables in 10.8 moving forward.

But the newer tables that require 64bit version dont run in Popper. Have changed Run Alternate. They try to open but fail. No Error code just takes 30 seconds and fails. Have to hit exit to go back into Popper but it also leaves the BackGlass Open. Any ideas what im doing wrong??

@vpinhub 6 ай бұрын

No, but .vpt sounds like old VP9 format. The new stuff is all .vpx. I would go back to 10.72 if you are trying to use tables written in the older format. A lot of old edits in the script like volume levels, day/night slider, and more can now be found in the in-game POV menu system.

Hi Marty, I see in the different groups that lots of people have issues with 64 bits, particularly with dof for the mx leds. I would like to go for VPX 10.8 as alternate launcher but in 32 bits and also keep my 10.7.3 for the regular tables. What do you think? In that case I think I can use your tutorial for upgrading to 64 bits but do it in 32 bits?

@vpinhub 11 ай бұрын

You should be able to follow the same for 32-bit, but if the DOF or MX is not working for someone, it was likely not moving the config into the new folder, or they needed a c++ file from Microsoft in most cases I saw.

Are you opening the tables directly in VPX, or using Popper to launch? I am not sure why you are seeing this, most get an error if they are missing a library file or something. If you are running stand alone, did you rename your .exe files so you still have 64-bit and 32-bit?

I followed your video, and right after I installed the 64 bit, I went back to my 32 bit VPinballX 10.7.4, opened it tried to load a 32 bit table, I didn't get the loading bar and then nothing It just stopped. In your video, you were able to load a 32 bit table. I didn't see anything in the video about renaming. Am I supposed to? Sorry if I'm sounding stupid. I do use Popper. I had to use my back up to get my tables working again. One other question. The GitHub install is supposed to be x64 and not 86, right? Thank you.
