Sound and dmd stutter with last build

[christobal03]

Hello, since the last update, some slowdown/stuttering appears on certain tables in terms of audio and dmd, which completely freezes the table for a few seconds.

An example with AFM :

attack.mp4

[3d2000s10]

Which version exactly? Are you running one of the experimental builds?

#268

I get a similar problem but not as exaggerated as what you are noticing. I am running 3.6.0-929-8c5f83e (64-bit version). I am also running the 10.8.0-1947-3b3f101 and the Backglass Server is 2.1.1.

This should be better (fixed ?) in latest that is to say VPinMame 973: https://github.com/vpinball/pinmame/actions/runs/9329924126 and VPX 1955: https://github.com/vpinball/vpinball/actions/runs/9324333326

I'll update and let you know if I experience the problem. Thanks for the quick reply - I usually suffer in silence but this time I thought I might check if someone else has reported the issue and sure enough there was something raised. Stay tuned - it should take me a few days to try and replicate or confirm if I don't experience the problem anymore.

Just weighing in... we've been playing Judge Dredd in the VPC Discord competition, and it was exhibiting noticeable stutter, as well, with the slightly older builds of Vpinmame and VPX I was using. I upgraded this AM to the versions @vbousquet recommended above and as far as I can tell, everything seems perfect now.

I don't see that issue anymore (or so I believe). I'll keep playing but I think the later versions you recommended have resolved the issue. It is very much appreciated @vbousquet and team.

Just a side note.... it seems like even with these new builds that fix the Bally/Williams stutter issues, the Capcom roms seem to still have something similar going on. Noticing it while playing the new VPW Breakshot. (The Capcom roms have always sounded a little funky, but I don't remember hearing callouts repeat and glitch like I am in Breakshot.)

I'm having audio and DMD stuttering issues with the Gedankekojote97 build of FunHouse using ROM fh_905h.

EDIT: The latest build posted above fixed it. I used the same build of VPX included with the latest PinUP updates.
