Stern Pinball doesn't launch for me.

lshachar commented 5 years ago

works for me

gormanj commented 5 years ago

Thanks, now at least I know it is worth trying to troubleshoot.

lshachar commented 5 years ago

Sure!

It does crash for me sometimes (usually it crashes once after a while, and it won't crash again)
there is quite noticeable lag - but I feel the same lag when playing pinball arcade (compared to actual pinball machines, there's quite a bit of lag.) So I can't tell who's to blame
I use a WMR Lenovo Explorer - and I feel like something is off. out of whack. It feels like the virtual world is not moving like the real world would when I move my head around. So I mostly try to keep my head motion to minimum whilst playing. I wonder if I'm the only one feeling that. I feel like the image is not stretched properly to my goggles? -obviously lacking the correct terminology here. This is actually why I ended up reading on git..

I'd like to add myself to the list of people who can't get Stern Pinball to launch with Revive. No matter what I try, the game briefly acts like it's going to load up, then stops running. I've looked at the troubleshooting suggestions on the Revive wiki, but nothing I've tried so far has helped. So far I have:

Uninstalled my third party antivirus and returned to using Windows Defender.
Used the Revive Dashboard desktop tray icon's "Inject" function to manually inject "PBAStern-PC11.exe"
Used the Revive Dashboard desktop tray icon's "Patch" function to patch "PBAStern-PC11.exe" and attempted to launch the game from my Steam library.
Rebooted my PC several times.

lshachar, are you able to elaborate on how you're able to launch the game?

+1. Hoping this will work on my Index when it arrives, but it's a no-go on my Vive, just like @gormanj

Can't get this to work. Any help would be appreciated. SteamVR spits out the following log:

i've found the problem, is with audio, i had many audio devices installed, started disabling some unused ones and ending with only 3 active devices (speaker, headphones and hmd usb audio). Now it does work, no crash on startup anymore.

That's interesting. I just tried, but no luck. I disabled until there was nothing left, one by one.

tig3rmast3r commented 4 years ago

try changing number of audio speakers if you have more than 2 have you disabled those under (old fashion) control panel/system/device manager ? right click -> disable ? I've used procmon.exe btw to see what the exe was doing before crash and i saw a lot of calls on the windows registry about audio devices..

lshachar commented 3 years ago

This used to work fine for me. I've reinstalled windows at some point, and now it won't launch for me anymore.

lshachar commented 3 years ago

Hmm. I got an old reviveInjector_x64.exe that I had from a different game. I made a shortcut for PBAStern-PC11.exe that first loads the revive injector. I got the game to launch fine, although it says 'no gamepads connected' and I can't seem to click anything. seems like more digging around is needed but I would say that trying older revive injectors might do the trick. I see that on Dec 7, 2018 I still got the major lag, but I recall that around that time revive released a newer version and it solved the huge wmr delay issue (and stern pba still worked for me). so that would be a good starting point if anyone is having a go at it.

(fwiw I also installed steam's version of stern pba, and I tried poking around here and there, including disabling OVRToolkit, which may or may not caused an issue beforehand. I really don't know what's going on, just trying to shed some light)

lshachar commented 3 years ago

YES! I got it working :)

Download revive version 1.7.2 Don't install it, instead extract it to any library. (use 7-zip, right click context menu, extract from there) close ReviveOverlay if it's already running, and launch ReviveOverlay.exe from the folder where you extracted 1.7.2. find PBAStern-PC11.exe in C:\Oculus\Software\Software\farsight-studios-stern-pinball-arcade-rift\pc11 or where you installed Oculus, drag and drop it over _(where you extracted 1.7.2)\revive\ReviveInjectorx64.exe

Game should launch fine! You can save yourself the dragging bit by creating a shortcut. I didn't try any newer revive versions. I wonder why the latest revive version won't work. This issue should probably get assaigned to someone that knows what they're doing.

gormanj commented 3 years ago

Fantastic Ishachar. I can't wait to try it. I actually installed side buttons on a HORI Xbox 360 Real Arcade Pro VX SA KAI to play pinball I like it so much.

Have you tried this (vpx and vr launcher)?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJQi5Xv2ysw&ab_channel=Honosuseri

I assume you can use all the add on tables with stern? What is the difference between Stern Pinball and Pinball Arcade. Now no one has been able to get TPA working for about seven years. Maybe you can do it. https://github.com/Noughtceratops/PinballVRcade

It still doesn't seem to work for me. I downloaded and extracted the files from version 1.7.2, then I ran SteamVR, closed the Revive Overlay I have installed, and launched the one from my 1.7.2 folder. After that, I took PBAStern-PC11.exe from my Oculus software folder and dragged and dropped it on top of ReviveInjector_x64.exe.

After doing that, some sort of process starts and runs for about a second or two, then immediately exits.
