Damn. Ok thanks. I never used the mod before since I wasn't willing to give up the action cameras (I really like them), but would if it had got rid of the new UI.
After trying the new UI beta and seeing how hellishly bad it was I started keeping a full backup of the entire Steam TPA folder of the prior non-new-UI version.
So as soon as the new UI hit I tried it out. Saw how horrid it was that they had listened to none of the feedback they were given over...
I'm sticking on version 1.5.10 since the new UI totally breaks the game on my cabinet.
Normally I buy the entire Season for PC, PS4 and Vita, but it looks like I won't be buying any more until the either give us command line table launching, cab support or get rid of the horrid new UI.
There's so much wrong, broken and less convenient with it that the only real way to fix it would be to go back to the previous UI.

They opened pre-orders and originally it was supposed to ship a year & a half later. Then the 3rd movie got delayed so was supposed to ship 2 years later. But then they hit licensing delays, had to re-design the entire playfield art, lost the original designer, had manufacturing delays...
What's there seems like a finished game. It's had 4 code updates since it shipped and is on version 1.21 now (which is what mine cane with). There are a lot of updates to come though. They still need to add 2 more mini-wizard modes. The final wizard mode. Whatever ties those additional modes...
Yeah I have the playfield protector on it. It is super shiny, but has also picked up ball streak and scratches you can see if you get down low at an angle. Still, those are all scuffs that my playfield itself didn't get.
I'm surprised the footage came out well. I grabbed my phone and...
Just got Smaug Multiball, then stacked on Beast Frenzy multiball, then stacked on Feast Frenzy multiball for Triple Multiball Madness! Believe me this video does not even remotely convey how bright, flashy and intense it is when you're playing it in person.
Shortly after this my Wife just...
Cleared the first 5 goals and got to the mini-wizard mode Into The Fire.
Pretty cool as all the goal arrows converge on the center of the screen and explode into the "Into the Fire Text" and Gandolf yells "Out of the frying pan and INTO THE FIRE!" (Maybe he doesn't yell, but I have the volume up...
Well it arrived safely. No loose bits or disconnected parts. No dings, scratches or damage at all. No adjustments needed to be made to anything. Fired up and worked perfectly once it was all setup.
I have it set at 7 degrees and it certainly isn't slow. It's really, really, really fun...
Smaug Edition. Ordered it on 12/1/2012 so it's been 3 years and 8 months since I ordered the damn thing.
Wish me luck on it arriving in one working piece and that we can even wrangle it into the house without breaking it.
Yeah. It really is that bad. Our Excel UI's and reports at work are better looking than this.
Not sure if there's any way to revert on your Fire without pirating.
Thankfully on Steam I made a full backup of 1.5.10 before it auto-updating so I can stay on that version. I'll just never buy...
On a positive note the TPA review score on Steam has dropped to only 29% positive. Ha! 71% thumbs down votes and every single review on their store page is negative.
