Everyone – I am using the latest VPX 10.6 Beta (3751) and am running Windows 10 64 bit with the latest patches, etc. My problem is simple enough, I open Visual Pinball and when I go to open a table, it loads unbearably slow. It took a full 25 seconds for Capt. Card to load for example. I went so far as to whitelist folders for Windows defender but it made no difference. No other AV on the machine.
Running an i7-8700k, 16 GB memory, GTX 1070 TI.
Any suggestions most appreciated.

On a SSD or regular HD ? Changes was made during 10.6 that will increase the loading time. For PBY, that I use for recording in frontend, has on my cab a pause of 25 seconds and I do have a SSD. I used to have it set for 20, but, a few of the tables, TAF, pr. example made me change it to 25. I should get me a M.2.

It’s a 250GB SSD. I wonder if I can change PBY to something greater than 25 seconds? When I tried to capture video last night it didn’t work just because the table hadn’t loaded yet. I knew the load times were greater with 10.6 but I didn’t recall them taking *this* long. The only changes I made were using the very latest VPX beta and I did allow the Windows 10 updates to take place (which I now regret). I will mess around some more with the Windows security settings when I get home tonight to see if I can make it any better.

If your video settings are set real high it will take longer to load

Do you have a B2S for Capt. Card? Trying to load without a backglass available takes 5x as long on my PC.

I do – I am using Loserman’s b2s backglass. Once it all loads, things work just fine. I will test load times for some other tables tonight now that my curiosity is piqued. I know that load times have increased in 10.6, I just don’t recall seeing tables load this slow. More to come.
Oh and thanks for your reply.

You have to remember one thing The more “non native objects” there is in a table, the more time VPX needs for its pre-rendering. Just look at the progress bar. What does the text tell you ?
I’m sure the Capt Card you are ref to is not Loserman’ but Bord version.
Of course, your video options does come to play here. Texture compression on or off ?

Texture compression is off. I did some more timings with a stopwatch starting when I clicked open and got the following:
TOTAN 4k – 20 seconds
Attack From Mars – 16 seconds
Eight Ball Deluxe – 10 seconds
STTG – 18 seconds
Capt Card – 30 seconds (!)
For those of you who know what timings are supposed to look like, are these in the realm of being normal then (outside of Capt. Card that is)?
I haven’t done any timings in regard to selecting ‘play table’ to see what those look like at this point.
Thanks in advance.

That makes sense to me. I didn’t do anything to optimize Capt. Card as it just started life as a personal mod and I have a pretty robust gpu. Big textures files probably have a lot to do with it.

Good to know. I love those older tables and that one is a gem :). Thanks!
