Hi i just installed an virtue oled board in my etek2 and the gun wont let me go over 15bps if i set the max rof to 16 eaven it seems that the bolt is going so fast that it skips shots meaning the gun just dry fires maybe letting one ball through...what is going on here i had problems with my star frame but resolved them with the help of everyone here that problem was just that the gun will shoot its fastest with the eyes on and i was not use to that as my other guns are different...but this virtue board is the same as my other guns with the eyes on the max rof you can set the gun is 15bps and it will shoot...but if i eaven adjust the max rof to 16bps the bolt seems it is going to fast to let a paintball in the breach...now my etek2 with the star frame can go to 27bps no problem with the qev attached...but i dont think that is an issue here as i have seen you tube videos of etek2s with just virtue boards also hitting 27bps and over..i noticed my bolt stick is switched off on my virtue board does that have anything to do with it? or any other settings? my loader however is fast enough to shoot at least 27bps as it has done on my star framed etek2 so whats the problem?

as i play with all the anti breach bounce settings and machanical bounce settings it seems now that my rate of fire meter is saying now that its feeding 14.5 and i have it set to 15 before i touched one of the many debounce settings it would spit out 8 balls per second as i in creased and decreased anti machanical breach and other debounce settings it seems to be shooting at the rate of fire that i set it to but not quite just to see if it was the gun i set both eyes on and off to 15bps and again it seemed that the bolt is moving so fast that it wont let paint into the chamber...it just dry fires i checked th loader on my star frame etek2 and the loader fed it to 28bps just now could my debounce settings be screwed up? and is it possible that the bolt is just bouncing so fast that it wont let paint load? someone please help me with this its a virtue oled board

ok i really dont know that much about a vitrue board and i know sideshow agrees with me he and i both dont like them i had so many problems out of the vitrueboard in my strange impluse. i could never get anything adjusted right...... so maybe it could be a adjustment that isnt tuned right. but towards the problem im not sure dont have to have sideshow or another tech answer you on that one.

here i just got this of the tech site from virtue talking about marker shooting slow:

This could be for any number of reasons. First make sure your eyes are not blocked, an eye malfunction will cause any of our products to cap at 12bps. An eye malfunction could be caused by dirty/blocked eyes, broken eyes, or a ripped wire somewhere. With DM4/5 products a blnking blue LED indicates an eye malfunction.

Next may be that your loader is feeding slow. If you are already using a a FAST loader with good quality paint make sure you are using new batteries and that your loader is clean. Poor quality swollen paint, and excess friction caused by grime within loaders can cause dramatic reductions in speed. HALO B users, we recommend Victory Boards for best performance.

Another possibility may be a low battery, electronics will act up when not fed enough power. Always make sure to use fresh, quality Alkaline batteries.

i hope this might help alil im trying but like i said one of the tech might know awhole lot more just a friend trying to help out. you might already know this info.

here is a hyperlink to contact virtue because maybe its a board issue? just fill out and wait for a reply if no one can help you here or if you need some responces right now. i wish you the best of luck and i hope you get this reslove asap. hoped i help

ok i just played with the debounce settings and finally the gun just spit out15 bps witch i set as my max but like my stock etek2 board it goes faster with the eyes off why is this and my etek2 with star frame shoots 28bps np problem with the eyes on!well anyway like i said i have an anti machanical bounce,anti breach bounce,anti bolt stick i just through that in,debounce i set to 5 witch was my etek2 stock setting from the virtue factory it came set to 3,the stock dwell of my etek2 stock frame was 13,the virtue board came set to 14 so i changed that to normal like the debounce,the player profile from the virtue factory was set to nppl is that ok?,any way again i got the gun shooting at 15bps nice and smooth now but if i bring it to 20bps again the balls wont get loaded into the chamber and the gun just dry fires and again why do my stock etek2 boards and my virtue etek2 board only shoot there fastest with the eyes off,but my star frame shoots its fastest with the eyes on?

i also noticed that the stock debounce setting that the etek2 comes from the factory with is 5 but my virtue board came set to 3 after i raised the virtue board to 5 like it was stock it seems that now my rate of fire meter reads that it shoots at 15bps witch i have the gun set to,should i maybe set the debounce to 10 because maybe the stock setting of 5 that the etek2 came with allows it to shoot at 15 witch was the stock bps and now with the upgraded board to get to 20bps i need to raise the debounce
