Preamble
YOU MUST be running an updated version of Windows 10. This walkthrough uses a newer feature not available on older versions of Windows 10.

Also, it may be worth trying to verify the game files before hand. To do so, go to your Library tab, Right click on Pinball FX3, click properties, then Local Files, and then Verify Local Files.
The fix
Open the settings app, NOT control panel. Click System (the page should default to the Display tab). Scroll down and then click Graphics Settings.


Click the Browse button.


Enter "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Pinball FX3" into the search bar
(without the quotes), and then click the Pinball FX3 Icon.

If you get an error that this is an invalid location, than you have installed Pinball FX3 in a non-standard location, and need to manually find where its installed by accessing the Local Files page on the game's properties tab.


Lastly, click High Performance and click Save.

It is okay if it's the same GPU/CPU as the Power Saving choice!

If this helped...
Consider giving this guide a thumbs up and (if you have some extra Steam Points burning a hole in your virtual pocket) giving it a steam award, so others can find it!

also faster way type graphic settings in the search bar. If you dont see the games you want also ,you gotta browse files and add them.

This might have fixed the c++ crash but I'm not sure since it slowed down the game and threw off the game play timing i had to abandon the fix.

Helps for all but I still can't run Funhouse at all, which is the only table not working.
