    Is this it for Farsight / Pinball Arcade?

    Yes I was pleasantly surprised, the binding issue took 9 months to fix so I feared the worst. I'd love to see something new from Farsight to keep things interesting, but unless there's a complete engine overhaul the Stern licence could be put to better use elsewhere.

    Is this it for Farsight / Pinball Arcade?

    Farsight pushed an update last night (1.71.27) which seems to have fixed the key binding issue. Unfortunately it has also introduced issues launching a number of tables in DX11 and immediately crashes to desktop (e.g. Ghostbusters, Cactus Canyon, Star Trek TNG, Ripley's). I've uploaded the exe...

    Williams Pinball App Discussion

    I use those Challenge slots to store tables I rarely want to play (Safecracker/Junkyard/Champion Pub). Easy challenges tend to be the most time efficient for parts/coins and I skip many of them to maximise earnings. I reckon Party Zone One-Ball is the quickest as you can win off the plunge...

    I received the notification, though likewise I received a server error and was unable to claim. The same problem occurred with the free tickets in December, it's a one time opportunity.

    Just noticed this Bonus Challenge has appeared in the store (100 coins). Fairly certain I previously spent coins unlocking an additional Challenge mode :confused:

    Williams on Android - ramps and nudging

    Yeah I made that call on the ball spin and it may still play some part in it - I believe I got a response from Zen saying they'd investigate. Wish there was a dev-tool we could access with numerical data as it would be possible to make clearer observations, perhaps as a beta/test function as you...

    Happy New Year everyone, hope you all had a good Christmas! I eventually managed to connect to the server though I was awarded no tickets, just a notification that I had already claimed the offer. Shame but no great loss.

    I usually receive their VIP/e-shots although not on this occasion, according to Twitter the reward link is: http://bit.ly/WMSMagic The app does open but it takes an age then gets stuck on a Fetching Data prompt, but that could be due to the rampant server issues.

    I've now maxed all the tables, though I'll keep playing a few challenges a day to top up my dwindling coin and ticket balance! A subtle but perhaps noteworthy observation, my Grade 4 tables are no longer classified as 'owned' in the Arcade section. Clearly a change made to better comply with...

    Williams on Android - ramps and nudging

    No it's not just you, several of the Williams tables exhibit this unusual behaviour (Android/PC). Presumably those ramps and rails have been assigned a friction value, if the ball speed is not of greater value it changes direction. This window of opportunity seems to be fairly narrow so the...

    Williams' Collection Volume 5 impressions

    TOTAN - Aside from the sound issues good job overall. CV - Excellent presentation but gameplay feels off and I'm not enjoying it. (playing the real cab was one of my pinball highlights of the year). NGG - Really growing on me, I hated the TPA version. It feels cramped and looks somewhat...

    Yeah that 50000 included four promotions (12000), though the final upgrade requires Zen coins. I do have enough to max everything but that would leave little incentive to play challenges for several months.

    Just blown a cool 50000 tickets, although I still have another 50000 in the bank :eek: Latest progress: CFTBL 4* MB 73/100 CV 50/100 NGG 29/100 TOTAN 62/100

    “Pro” Cabinet Mode?

    I got into VR way back in 2014 and confident it will breakthrough eventually, at least as a partner format. I'm also pretty desperate for Williams in VR, keen to pay something for that privilege but would struggle to justify paying for every table pack twice. I consider myself a huge fan but...

    It is indeed mysterious, here in the UK it's £9.49 for grade 2 (versus £7.19 for Steam versions) and immediately unappealing unless you're living a care-free lifestyle. That same amount would pay for 350 coins > 17x Vol 5 boosters > 87 parts. You'd prob get the Monster and Vol 5 tables close...
