    Bug High scores and objectives vanished

    Unfortunately I didn't add anything to the logging code to put out messages for this kind of situation. We should have the cloud stuff in soon. Until then I would suggest doing manual backups (copy the highscores file somewhere else). Even after the cloud stuff is in I would still recommend...

    PC Version 1.22.7 Discussion and Feedback

    Close High = All balls get updated every frame. Low = One ball gets updated each frame and it alternates. None = No reflection at all. Resolution of the reflection is the same for Low and High, and "shininess" is a different issue.

    Bug High scores and objectives vanished

    Sorry you are experiencing this. I'm not sure what the issue is (so far you are the only one to have reported this). We are hooking up the Steam Cloud for backing up saves, once that's in I'm hoping it'll help with the issue. In the meantime I'll see if we can have someone here reproduce the...

    Where randomness is good in digital pinball.

    It's actually not randomness, it's an issue with hardware. On computer hardware we read the input 60 times per second. In real life the input is read in an infinite amount. Lets say you pull all the way back, release, and the timing is such that the controller input reads the controller at...

    Timeframe on DX11 (Side Debate on the Effects of Piracy)

    when will we see cabinet options?

    I've been working on cabinet stuff in between table releases. Many of the issues are quite complex (like rendering on 2 screens...just mostly solved that). I can't give a time frame cause I'm not sure how much longer everything will take.

    Still hope for Xbox 360

    I don't know the details about the announcement of a new publisher. It's possible they backed out, couldn't get the licensing or approvals from MS, or numerous other things. I haven't heard anything about it so I'm not sure what state we are in with them. It could just be waiting on contract...

    PC Version 1.22.7 Bugs

    Special is set to award points. It says 0 but that is a bug with the real rom. You get millions of points it just doesn't show it on the special display. Your score does go up.

    Bug Black Rose leaderboard bug

    When entering initials we enable the start button on the table so you can enter each letter. The problem here is that it takes awhile for the game to know initials have been entered. And this allows you to press start and start a new game, which then breaks all the flow. My suggestion for now...

    Backing up goal progression.

    The highscores file contains your goals as well. Stuart has been working on getting the Steam cloud save stuff working. That'll be in a future update.

    when will we see the next update?

    We ended up rebuilding all the tables (thanks to Stuart) so it's on all of them. The patch will be larger than normal for this.

    Still hope for Xbox 360

    Contract isn't the only issue. Getting a new publisher is harder than it seems. Microsoft only gives out a certain number of XBLA slots to publishers based on how many printed disc games they get. Most publishers aren't willing to use their slot for a Pinball game. As for the...

    Launch without configuration utility?

    To clarify. If you launch the game from the Steam Client, you will get asked if you want to run the config tool or the game. If you launch from the exe from the steam installation directory (Commonly "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\PinballArcade") it should launch the game...

    Launch without configuration utility?

    If you haven't used the config before (or in some cases where we add new features) the config will come up when you try to run Pinball Arcade since it needs you to set the settings first. Once they are set you should be able to run Pinball Arcade by running PinballArcade.exe and it shouldn't...

    DirectX 11 support

    Not really sure yet. We didn't have an ATI chip in the office here before, we do now, so that won't be a problem moving forward.

    DirectX 11 support

    They claim the PS4 can do 1.8 TFlops processing power. That is similar to a GTX 660. If you are going to go with a 660, I would suggest the 660 ti as it is a little more powerful for the same or nearly same money. Most of our PC's here are GTX 660s, so the lighting will definitely work on...

    timeframe on dx11

    While I don't know the sales numbers, this is the impression I got as well. And it's doing well enough that I've not been told to stop supporting it. So I wouldn't consider it a failure.

    timeframe on dx11

    So what would you have done when you attempted to sell the individual tables on Steam and Valve told you "You can't do that, you need to sell them in game using the micro transaction system"? PC isn't a port of mobile, it's a port from Xbox 360. Uses same assets, DirectX 9.0C, that comes from...
