This update is just a horrific mess of crap!!! Doesn't FS test these updates?? Every patch makes this app more and more unstable to the point where it's a complete joke! Tables randomly crash, so you delete that table, install it again and play, then go to another table...crash, repeat. When you...
The old Gottlieb tables are just so...boring? Is that the word I want to use? I do like Big Hurt and maybe a couple others, but they seem mostly like drain fests with a lack of targets or anything really entertaining to do, really. From a historical view, I can see an interest in their...
I coded my own game from scratch in Unity, and have been working on it for about 3 years now in my spare time. As I don't know C#, I opted to learn UnityScript (JavaScript variant). The first thing I did in creating my options page (that is accessible before and during a game) was implement...
There would have to be daily updates for a month to fix this app at this point. Look at the Google apps...how many times do each and every one of them update every week? At least twice? Nothing really new seems apparent, but they update all week long anyway.
With PBA, there is a laundry list...
Yes, there is now a composite HoF screen in the high scores section, but we have no clue what each HoF rating is per table. We are getting there, but the process is slow. I just can't help but think how everything was laid out before and miss it dearly.
I play with my devices plugged in, so battery is no issue for me. For some reason, the devices don't get warm playing PB like other games, which can get my Nexus 7 2012 smoking hot. I also turn off the tablet when I sleep and let it rest and cool off over night, especially in this heat. I used...
I have a paltry 1GB of RAM on the tablet I play PA on. It runs fine, but other apps can be difficult like web browsers with multiple tabs, so I constantly look for memory eaters and eliminate them as I can. Having 2GB or more isn't an issue, but first generation devices need a more watchful eye.
Going into processes, you will notice there is a PA memory resident entry of about 3MB that constantly insists on being in memory unless you are rooted and turn it off. Why this needs to be constantly in memory is beyond me. Normally I will delete games that pull this stunt, but I had to make an...
After I finally manage to exit the app, Cleaner Master pops up a window to clean out the memory. If it doesn't, I will use another app to flush the memory by killing all processes. From what I have seen, PA leaves about 273MB of residual memory usage after the app is closed.
But you have to be on the home screen to do that, and it also requires a swipe up on some devices that only have soft keys. All apps should have a proper exit method, no matter which screen you are on at the time.
I have found a fix for most of the recent problems. When you start the app, just wear ear plugs and close your eyes through the game session. When you are finished, just push the off button since there's still no exit button. I've been much less annoyed since I started playing this way.
There haven't been proper changelogs since 2.0.was released. What I did notice with the current update is that the Goals are now marked properly per table with icons. However, there still doesn't appear to be any way to tell what your composite HoF actually is for all tables. Other than that, I...
So, basically, this new UI is drafted over from their Stern project for continuity in both products. So, we can look forward to yet more of what we see now in the Fall, while PA will probably remain broken for quite some time to come. I really don't need another large pinball app on my devices...
I'm not current on my Farsight news, and I haven't been on board since the beginning, or even the last UI. What is this Stern deal they have going? And why tear apart the UI for PA if they are balancing yet another major project and trying to stay on course with season 6? The more I hear, the...
Those are interesting statements regarding the longevity of the project, but their actions don't seem to match what you are driving at, or at least in no logical form. Let's say sales are drying up a bit and they are considering the future down the line from now. Why trash a perfectly...
Agreed. Nobody is trying to create unnecessary static or warfare, or even shoot for the year's Top Troll Award. However, the outstanding bugs from 2.0 have not only not been fixed in three patches, but seemingly ignored as well. Head over to the Android section here and check out the six pages...
Well, that's a terrific suggestion, but alas, the testers have also mentioned in this very forum many, many times that their requests, observations and reports go completely unchecked with the dev team and fall upon deaf ears. Reports get sent in and things don't get fixed. This is not just a...
You saw them reply to negative reviews because they were once positive reviews that changed! They won't reply if it's negative. As for testing, I understand they have some free testers from the community and that's it.
Hundreds have said it and I'll say it again; they don't listen to their...
Oh, I change the sound settings and play up a storm, then exit the app normally and it still doesn't save. I will try that method again with draining and exit, but I can't get it to work. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
