I don't use Norton, its unusual because I never had the issue before the latest update, at least I can enjoy the arcade again, thanks

Wow that is interesting - good call @cja272! I have made a note, as if I could figure out how to reproduce this, maybe I can come up with a proper fix at some point... glad you're up and running anyway

Run as admin has worked, thanks @cja272 Thanks John all sorted, thanks again Neil

I'd hesitate to recommend it woodsy, that GPU should have enough grunt for AS but it won't be capable of much else in terms of modern games or anything, it's got an old mechanical hard drive which is painful on Windows 10, and that's an old laptop, hailing back to 2014/2015, so no guarantees on how much life it'll have left in it. -------------------- The problem with that is the integrated graphics don't actually have as much horsepower as the 860M in the one woodsy linked above (although there isn't much in it), it's hard to stress how weak integrated laptop graphics actually are, they really aren't designed for any sort of proper 3D acceleration tasks at all. Also I'm thinking maybe we should have another thread for stuff like this 'Arcade Simulator Requirements and Tech Specs' in the main Arcade Simulator sub-forum, something like that rather than cluttering up the main Development Updates thread? NOTE - There are actually two replies there, the quote went wonky, the first is to woodsy and the second is to shaun.

Nope, for starters that's describing a range of specs and even if it comes in at the top end you're still on old integrated Intel graphics and a low resolution screen. It also doesn't even seem to say it's got Windows 10 on it.

I believe the mirror over the DOND reel, is considered a reel lamp, so hopefully they will simply work, once reel lamps are implemented.

i just tired it on my other comnputer same never mind

Ooo, one thing I've not figured out, the COB, or DOB button, what key does it tend to be? Talking of DOND, or varients, the DOND reel should be covered up. I mean, I like that it isn't, just saying Thanks!!!!!

A couple for the layout bug sheet. Same issue appears to affect two machines. Wild Jackpots and Rise To the Top, the hi-lo reel is unreadable due to corruption.

Glad its worked for you!!! When you described the problem it just sounded like the problem i have been having and i came across this fix , have you got Norton as i think its something to do with that?

Just wanted to say I just got Arcade Sim running and it's awesome! I'm sure there's lots to do but it put a big enough grin on my face to send over some money! Great frontend and I guess thanks to everyone over the years who have done the artwork / got the ROMs etc. (I don't really understand it all but great job team!) Cheers

Hmm well if they sometimes do work, then I guess that it isn't anti-virus software causing an issue - as if it were deleting the dll stuff, then the machines would never work (and you'd have the green message up in the top-right). Do you still have the HUD enabled? So that you can see the names of the machines up in the top-left? I think the green warning message is part of the HUD (so it would be hidden if the machine names are also not up in the top-left due to the HUD being hidden). It may be worth trying @cja272's suggestion above also: "...right click on the arcade simulator desktop icon then click run as administrator and then the machines work" One day I'd like to diagnose and fix all these issues, but it's tricky (as I can't reproduce them here). If you are still having issues, please do post back as there's quite a few more diagnostic steps we could try, and it might lead to me being able to get a fix made (that will also help others in future) - cheers

It sound like the same problem i have and i have to right click on the arcade simulator desktop icon then click run as administrator and then the machines work

This laptop should run AS perfectly. Possibly out of your budget, if you are getting credit though it might be doable for you? https://www.cclonline.com/product/msi-gf63-thin-10sc-gaming-laptop-15-6-inch-1920-x-1080-intel-core-i5-10300h-8gb-256gb-ssd-geforce-gtx-1650-bluetooth-microsoft-windows-10-home-9s7-16r512-059-353405/?gclid=CjwKCAjwyvaJBhBpEiwA8d38vG2V-8r3TzT7F6tgtsfCDb21hE8cyBjNoQTsFdmPO2Rffs2itB8FahoCprgQAvD_BwE J
