I have probs with vp9 tables. I have the vp 9.05. When i play vp9 tables i cant see the flippers. I see them and the work but only when i push the shift keys. When the flippers are npt used i dont see them. I tried any resolution. Even in window mode.
 
Did you try a x16 bit resolution rather then a x32 bit resolution? Are your running with Hardware Graphic Rendering on, what graphics card do you have?
 
Yeah i tried with 16x bit too. I can see the flippers when i turn off the hd render. But then the table is unplayable due to how the table looks. i use the geforce gtx 260.
 
Do you run VP as admin?? Do you have the latest version of DirectX downloaded.Which video card do you use??
 
My video card is the nvidia geforce gtx260. I do now try it with updating the direct x and nvidia drivers. Yeah i run it as admin. Everything works fine. The tables work. Only when i release the flippers i dont see them.
 
It should work, I can only suggest a few other possible solutions. Try a different compatibility mode for VP, right click on the VP.exe or shortcut > Properties > Compatibility > select Window NT. Close all other applications running in the background, turn off sticky keys, turn off aero.
 
Even in window mode.

Never run in window mode! Never! Ever! Never! Go to VP preferences, then Video, then check Full Screen.... This may not solve this problem, but it will solve other problems.

Which Windows are you using, because I use XP and some pre-VP 9 tables are looking very strange with VP 9.05.

With older pre-VP 9 tables, try using VP 8.1.exe and see if that helps.

I also recommend VP8....... My Favorite version is still VP8.

VP9 is a real Pain in the Ass for Me

Apparently there's a glitch with the Options > Table > Colors and Formatting > HD Render setting.

Open the program, load the problem table, and try setting the HD Render to On or Off and Save the table (File > Save).
Then Close the program completely, then Open it, load and try the table you saved.

    (AI prompt) Why did the pirate have an eye patch?
    Quote
  • ChatGPT @ ChatGPT:
    @Free Bally!, Pirates are often depicted with eye patches in popular culture, but the reasons for this vary. Here are a few possible explanations:

    1. **Injury**: The most straightforward reason a pirate might wear an eye patch is that they lost an eye due to injury. Pirate battles, sword fights, and the general hazards of seafaring life could easily lead to eye injuries, necessitating an eye patch.

    2. **Myth and Stereotype**: The image of a pirate with an eye patch has become a stereotype perpetuated by movies, books, and other forms of media. It's part of the romanticized pirate image that includes peg legs, hooks for hands, and parrots on shoulders.

    3. **Preserving Night Vision**: A more interesting and practical theory suggests that pirates wore eye patches to keep one eye adapted to the dark. When moving between the bright deck and the dark below decks, a pirate could switch the patch from one eye to the other. The eye that was covered
