Visual Pinball too old for this table

Technical code : VPX_VERSION_OUTDATED

What it means

This specific table has confirmed it needs a newer Visual Pinball than the one actually installed.

Why it happens

Unlike a simple version mention, this reads the real file version of your installed VPX executable and compares it directly against what the table declares — this is a confirmed shortfall, not a guess.

How Pincab Toolbox detects it

The free scanner checks the following:

The installed VPX's file version is strictly below the minimum version this table's script declares.

What to do

  1. Note the version the table asks for, given in the Pincab Toolbox scan result.
  2. FIRST: copy your whole Visual Pinball folder to an external drive or another folder. A VPX update can change how tables that used to work behave.
  3. Download the requested version from the official Visual Pinball repository (github.com/vpinball/vpinball, Releases).
  4. Fully close Visual Pinball AND PinUP Popper. Check in Task Manager that neither is still running.
  5. Install the new version in a SEPARATE folder, not over the old one. That way you can go back in one second.
  6. In PinUP Popper, point the VPX emulator path at the new folder.
  7. Test TWO OR THREE tables you know well before concluding everything is fine.
