Thanks for the awesome table Scotty Wic. I am definitely addicted to it. Just check out orbital scoreboard for Legin.
Good luck with AtGames.

If you are requiring to run FPLoader.exe as admin to get all tables to work… then that is down to your PC and however you have your security / uac Defender, etc all setup.
Windows restricts some functions for some programs much more now… so you don’t always get to choose to not run as admin, unless you can get the rest of your system to allow it.
This is much more the case with PinEvent tables, since they also load external vbs scripts, which Defender tends to block. Same goes for many other FP tables including SLAM’s Ultimate Pro tables.
Myself, I have UAC off completely, and Defender disabled completely… and don’t run anti-virus normally and I have no issues needing to run FP as Admin… but not everyone wants to do that. (I have ran MalWare Bytes with no issues).
As for your Net crashing…. test without Popper to see if you still have the problem. It may be from DOFLinx if you are running the HOLD ACTIVATION command which is not longer recommended as it will cause crashes. Always test outside a front-end to get everything working first…or if having problems.
Be sure your Visual C++ for all years is installed and updated. Same goes for gpu and audio drivers.
Hi Terry
Thanks for the reply mate, we can always rely on you for help. Much appreciated.
Windows security seems to be getting out of hand and more and more complicated. I have windows home and I tried to disable Defender via regedit. This doesn’t seem to work anymore. I have heard microsoft disabled the option on an update somewhere around August this year so I am interested to know how to disable it completely.
I have now installed Malwarebytes and Defender seems to stay off now.
I have Firewall turned off, that stays off.
I checked my Doflinx.ini file and I cant find the HOLD ACTIVATION command anywhere. I haven’t heard of it. Is it in the doflinx.ini?
I checked my C++ and its up to date. I ran the install again just to be sure
All of my drivers are up to date. I double checked them again. Sound, Video, MB, chipset etc. I installed a new SSD 1 or 2 weeks ago and re-installed windows and everything else from scratch.
I still cant open this table unless I use run as admin. All of the other FP tables I have run fine. No run as admin needed.
I have already installed VPX, FX3, Dof R3, Doflinx, Pinup player and popper, Pinsound, EqualiserAPO, Peace, Freezy, P-ROC and VPinSPA. All of these can run as normal. No run as admin needed. It was quite surprising to me to be quite honest with you as I am so used to having to run a lot of this stuff as admin.
So I am just about ready to give up on FP. The only thing I can think of is re-installing
The issue with playfield videos recording as static images is persisting.

Hi All
I have just installed a new SSD and I am reinstalling all of my programs again.
At the moment I am trying to get pinsound going again. Everything is okay except the program runs maximised and it often runs over the top of the playfield. I cant seem to get Pinsound to run minimised. I have tried making a shortcut of pinsound, open the properties of the shortcut and set “run” to: minimised. This doesn’t work either. I didnt have this problem on my old cab, maybe I just got lucky.
Here is my Launch script:
START “” “[STARTDIR]Launch\VPXSTARTER.exe” 30 10 60 “Visual Pinball Player” 2
if “[custom1]”==”pinsound” (start /min “” “C:\Pinsoundstudio\pinsoundstudio.exe”)
cd /d “[DIREMU]”
if “[RECMODE]”==”1” (
START /min “” vpinballx.exe “[DIREMU]” -DisableTrueFullscreen -minimized -play “[GAMEFULLNAME]”
) else (
START /min “” vpinballx.exe “[DIREMU]” -minimized -play “[GAMEFULLNAME]”
)And here is my Close Script:
“[STARTDIR]LAUNCH\PUPCLOSER.EXE” WINTIT “Visual Pinball” 10 1
“[STARTDIR]LAUNCH\PUPCLOSER.EXE” WINTIT “Pinsound studio” 10 1You need to login in order to like this post: click here
I figured it out. The volume for FP in the mixer was muted. I had to run FP in windowed mode so I could access the volume mixer.

I just checked my sound card and Video card drivers again (not windows update) and they are up to date. Still no sound in FP. I uninstalled FP and deleted the FP folder. Then I reinstalled using Terrys new guide again. Still NO sound. Boooooooooo. I am at a loss here. VPX, MAME etc still working fine.

I just updated my MB drivers – chipset, Audio and LAN. No difference! – Bummer that, I was hopeful that would fix it. Maybe I need to re-install FP?

Hi Terry
The Home/End , Pageup/PageDown buttons show the volume amount so that seems to be working.
I havent run FP through pinup yet, I literally only finished installing it an hour ago. I wont add it to pinup until I get it working properly stand alone.
I haven’t changed my default sound device. Its set to my onboard sound card. I have an option to change it to my Panasonic TV which I have never used.

Forgot to mention. I have a built in 7.1 Realtek sound on the MB
I run SSF. I have a sub and 2 speakers for my primary DMD sounds. Sub has a built in amp.
2 other amps. Each amp running 2 exciters front and back

If you want “Pinsound Studio” to startup and shutdown when a specific table is launched….
Well in Popper you can easily add a condition in your launch script that checks to see if the game being launched has “pinsound” in the Custom Launch Parameter for that specific table. If it does then is will launch Pinsound Studio just for that table. Then you would add another PUPCloser for Pinsound to close out Pinsound Studio when exiting the table.
Add this to your Popper Launch Script for VPX:
if “[custom1]”==”pinsound” (start /min “” “C:\PinSoundStudio\PinSoundStudio.exe”)
Add to your Close Script for VPX:
“[STARTDIR]LAUNCH\PUPCLOSER.EXE” WINTIT “Pinsound Studio” 10 1
…and simply add “pinsound” to Custom Launch Parameter for the table that needs it.
Thanks for this Terry, works a treat for me.
One thing I would like to do is run pinsound from a another drive, my C: drive is getting full. I tried running it from another drive and it doesn’t work.
Has anyone else had any luck with running it from another location?

I just bought the music too. My way of saying thanks. I dont know who it is who benefits from this, hopefully someone in the VP scene.

I am one of those people who has an odd size backglasss. Mine is 16:10
What I did was use the pup pack which uses the backglass. I resized my backglass pupscreen to 16:9 but left the backglass server at 16:10. This works great and the screen is totally used.
I used a custom ini file for the pup screen setup and put that into the puppack folder.

Nice work. I like the added touch when you hit the magna save buttons. It also has unusual out lanes. Nice to see different tables like this. Keep up the good work

This is the first table I got addicted to as a kid and is the reason I started down the VP hobby.
Thank you all for this release, you have made my day. Plays just like I remember.

1 user thanked author for this post.
Did you use the all-in-one install of vp10.5 and ensure you backup/ delete all the .vbs files outside of the script folder (ie. No .vbs in tables folder). Only the script folder should contain vbs files
I used the all in one installer when I installed 10.4. I just used the VP10.5 stand alone to upgrade.
All scripts are in the script folder.
