    Bug CV game crashes after scoring local high score

    My new White Water #1 game crashed silent after entering initials for the local highscore. I won't play TPA until it's safe to go for a good score...

    BlahCade 61: U and I Gotta Talk

    What's the difference between arcade, simulation and user mode? I haven't figured this out yet..

    What separates the best players here from the rest?

    I've played TPA with a simple PC keyboard until the beginning of the year. The nudging capabilities are limited with this interface. You can shake to prevent an outlane or middle drain, that's allmost everything. After reading some posts in this forum I've switched to a XBox360 Controller which...

    What separates the best players here from the rest?

    I've thought about to write an equal comment. It's not necessary to get such a lot #1 scores in only one half year with a playing time from more than twelve hours every day as Dizzer2012 has done. Not surprising that there's no time for life. I've got my scores over nearly two years. And for...

    New UI Public Beta

    The new UI is horrible and buggy too. After entering initials for a new 111B White Water hiscore the complete TPA application closed without any comment. The score is lost. I won't play the game anymore until this bug is fixed... :mad:

    Zaccaria Pinball - PC Steam beta

    The UI is great and the configuration options are impressive. The tables? Zaccaria. :p i've taken a first peek and can't find any table that really interests me. Maybe at the second glance. The ball physics are mediocre only. Has anybody ever get a tilt? I can nudge unlimited...

    Favorite and least favorite wizard modes in TPA

    Yes, it's possible. I play for Australia, Nord America and South America only. After one continent round the modes activates letters again.

    (An attempt at) The top 40 TPA players from leaderboard scores

    "Only" 12 hours. I used the strategy from this thread: http://digitalpinballfans.com/showthread.php/11053-Severely-extended-Ultimate-Challenge This time I've build up the left ramp bonus to more than 700M... Finished for security at this point, not sure that the table will count a trilion and...

    Getting tired of all the buggy tables

    I've made a third attempt to beat the #1 score. This table is buggy. I've played very safe and didn't double my 1.3 B continent score during the 100 B rollover and later. Finished for security at 119 B this time. No chance, came as 89 B. Maybe the only way to beat the #1 is to hold the double...

    Mobile Space Tourney (6/3)

    I was on holiday and won't play with a small notebook and a bad WIFI connection. That's my second reason. :p

    BREAKING NEWS: New Difficulty Mode w/ Separate Leaderboards Coming!

    I can imagine the TPA nudge style becomes more realistic if Farsight simulate the weight from the table as heavy as real...

    Why are most, if not all, Gottliebs mediocre at best?

    Not without a reason Bally and Williams were leading in the pinball market in the nineties years. I would say Tee'd Off is a good exception from Gottlieb.

    Most Difficult Table

    Yes, it's annoying when a video mode is required for a good score. If you're interested here's a perfect route from AntonR, found in this thread: http://digitalpinballfans.com/showthread.php/8666-Harley-Davidson-Tips-and-Strategies Same problem for me with AfM. I'm unable to get the video...

    CONTEST: Predict Season 5 & Table Packs 39 & 40!

    Same for me. Pinball 2000 was the beginning of the end.

    CONTEST: Predict Season 5 & Table Packs 39 & 40!

    Yes, the backbox combos are always the same few shots. but I would say this table should be in every good pinball collection. It's an historical milestone like Revenge from Mars. That table design was one of the poorest without the video screen. And at least the King of the Hill music is one of...

    (An attempt at) The top 40 TPA players from leaderboard scores

    As a long time real pinball player I agree. Most of the original ROMs aren't made for the easy TPA physics. I can remember the question back in the old days: Does the table count the 10 Billion digit? Meanwhile the same question for the same table in TPA is: Does it count 100 Billion? You're...
