Fixes and changes - FarSight's 1 month break between S6 & S7

City of Gold in portrait(dont play landscape) could use some new camera positions, only cam 3 is servicable.

Pause menu applies a fade to the playfield right? well if you're two menus deep it's applied twice and you have to guess when you're adjusting light levels, not a major hiccup but something to think about.

Pause, help & options, controls, keyboard and mouse: applied four times, as an example.

Another portrait issue being pressing left/right at the top menu to select options changes your ball skin.

This is awesome news - I can't wait to play Genie, CV and CftBL with updated physics. I'm interested in the tuning that is being done to Twilight Zone, will it make it even harder like in real life?

All in all, if the updated tunings and bug fixes come out the way we should expect them to, this month off is a huge gift to customers/fans. I'm really glad they are able to do it.

Any love and attention to the existing tables is greatly appreciated.

Is this month break to just concentrate on pc fixes, or other formats too? Like PS4!?
