PiN WiZ · Nov 4, 2013

This thread is for posting bugs for the PC version 1.19.6 ONLY (new bugs as well as lingering issues that haven't been fixed). If you want to post general feedback or comments, then please use THIS THREAD instead. Anything posted here that is not a bug will be moved or deleted.

When posting a bug, please use the following format:

Bug report template
You must be able to reproduce a bug more than once before reporting.
And make sure to reproduce it yourself more than 10 times to accurately calculate the frequency.

Title Bug: Begin the title with one of the following: Crash, Art, Display, Performance, Physics, or General. Then state where the bug occurs, followed by a brief description. Ex: “General – Scared Stiff: Ball goes through Crate at high velocity”
OS Version: Windows 7
Graphics Card: NVIDIA Geforce GT 555m
Ram: 8GB
Version #(Bottom right of game screen):
Display Mode: “Windowed/Full Screen”
Display Resolution: “640x480, 800x600, 1024x768”

Frequency of Occurrence: “60% of the time” , “Every ball that enters the crate”

Expected Result: “During 'Crate Multiball' ball enters the crate and is launched back into play from the right”
Actual Result:”Entering the crate at maximum velocity causes the ball to fly through the crate into the deadheads”

Comment: Please be descriptive. Explain the steps taken to produce the bug and explain exactly what happened as a result.

In cases where it crashes before the main menu:
Contents of Log.txt, and possibly the contents of MemLog.txt (only if we request it)
Both of those files will be in the Pinball Arcade installation folder within steam.

\SteamApps\common\PinballArcade Under the steam installation

For most people that is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\PinballArcade

Please also remember to email any bugs you find to support@pinballarcade.com

Title Bug: Flight 2000 standard goal "Score at least 750,000 points" awarded for less

OS Version: Windows 7
Graphics Card: Radeon 7870
Ram: 16GB
Version #(Bottom right of game screen): 1.19.1
Display Mode: “Full Screen”
Display Resolution: “1920x1200"

Frequency of Occurrence: Unknown (at least once)

Comment: After my third game of Flight 2000 I found that I was awarded the "Score at least 750,000 points" even though I scored far less - in the 200,000's. All three games were around 200,000 so possible it just added the 3 scores? Or is the standard goal supposed to be 250,000 points?

BUG: screen alignment messed up
OS: Windows 7
Graphics card: NVIDIA GEforce GT 610
Ram: 3 GB
Full Screen
1024x768

Frequency: 100% of the time

All screens (even title screen) are improperly aligned with monitor-and there's no option to change the resolution in any menu. This results in about 20% of each side missing.

And the MemLog's last line:

And on Steam there's 2 files failed to validate and reacquired, but it seem's there's no happend.
Beacuse when i'm running again the validate, the result is the same.

The memory issue is that your PC doesn't have a large enough single chunk of RAM to allocate. We had similar issues in the beta, but I was able to fix it, but unfortunately it seems many PC's end up with much smaller chunks than our beta group had.

I'm going to look into fixing this, this week.

Closing down as many unnecessary apps as possible, making sure those app's don't start on bootup, and rebooting may "temporarily" solve the problem.

I'm hardly running any program.
Only some program start at the boot.
I'm use 650 MB of the 4GB.
And the reboot not solve the problem either temporarily.
I do not know what else to do,I'm waiting for the fix.
Anyway thanks for the quick reply, Mike.

Best Regards.
George

I'm noticing everyone reporting this has the exact same size chunks free

"Largest size = 276463616"

Wondering if this is some sort of Win XP limitation in some configurations. I have a solution I think will work, I plan to try it out tomorrow, maybe I can get a patch out soon after.

General - Genie: Ball Stuck in Score Bonus Kickout Hole after Tilting

OS Version: Windows 7 64-bit
Graphics Card: NVIDIA Geforce GTX 770
Ram: 16GB
Version #: 1.19.1
Display Mode: Full Screen
Display Resolution: 1920x1080

Frequency of Occurrence: First time it ever happened. Never had this scenario occur before, so it may be repeatable.

I tried to pausing the game and resuming, using the Call Attendant, and using the left thumbstick on my wired Xbox 360 controller to attempt to shake loose the captured ball from the kickout hole.

I don't know if this is a bug, or at least not a system-specific one, maybe just an option someone forgot.

After the initial set-up, how do you change the screen resolution? I see no options for this within the menus.

Art issue:

ToTAN
Harem Lamp Insert doesn't fully light up.
Not really sure how to explain this properly but the insert looks like it's partially lit and partially not lit (like a blend of two textures).
ATI Radeon 2600 Pro Mobile 512MB
Windows 7

Title Bug: General - display settings not saved
OS Version: Windows 8.1 x64
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670
Ram: 16GB
Version #(Bottom right of game screen): 1.19.1
Display Mode: Full Screen
Display Resolution: 1920x1080

Expected Result: Screen settings to be saved by using the setup utility
Actual Result: Settings not saved by initial run of the setup utility

Comment: Upon first launch, Steam offered the choice of playing the game or going into the setup utility. I went into the setup utility (changing several settings such as the resolution, post-processing and anti-aliasing) and I then saved the settings. That took me back into Steam, so I launched the game again and clicked "play". The same settings window appeared but my choices had reverted back to the defaults. I saved the choices again and when I went into game they'd taken effect. It looks like changes made by the initial run of the setting utility weren't saved.

You'd have to relaunch the config utility, it's not in the game itself.

In my case, it's at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\PinballArcade\PBAConfig.exe

Or you could close TPA and Steam both. Re-Launch TPA and you'll get the option to run the config utility or the game.

BUG: Can't start the game
OS: Windows XP
Graphics card: Nvidia 9600GT (1gb ram)
Ram: 2 GB

Same problem with Win XP. I believe it can be fixed, as the game doesnt use a lot of PC resources - my Pinball FX2 runs perfectly on 1920x1080 with max settings . Please Mike fix it today! Or...or...

Title Bug: Graphics - Post-processing
OS Version: Windows 7 64-bit
Graphics Card: AMD HD6970 using Catalyst 13.9
Ram: 16GB
Version: 1.19.1
Display Mode: Fullscreen
Display Resolution: 1920x1080

Frequency of Occurrence: Always when post-processing is enabled.

Expected Result: Post-processing is supposed to enhance the lighting of the tables.
Actual Result: Post-processing produces a very ugly blurry / aliasing effect across the whole table which is clearly unintended.

Comment: The tables look fine when post-processing is disabled, which means that the sole culprit is post-processing. For some reason it isn't working correctly with some cards.
