Farsight giveth and then Farsight taketh away. I was hoping to get my DMD dialed in so I could do some hardcore TPA playing later after I abuse my liver tonight. No morning update yet.
They pulled the cabinet version off of steam for sure. I forgot to turn off automatic updates so a new version 1.70.6 was installed and now PBAConfig.exe doesn't have cabinet settings and the specific exe for it is gone. Doh!
This utility was for Pinball FX actually and specifically for setting up the DMD location. I quickly used it to get Arcooda going though so it works. Might have to tweak the numbers but it gets you close quickly. I take no credit for it, I just found it online when I first was putting...
Yes, that is confirmed. I lost my cabinet mode since I forgot to turn off automatic updates on steam until Farsight puts the new version back up.
There is a settings file called dx11_settings.dat in users\yourname\Pinball Arcade the holds the PBAConfig settings. It isn't in readable text...
You have to get the right screen coordinates. It does not have a notion of monitor numbers. I did get it working in 2 and 3 screen modes. I have a utility I downloaded that shows screen positions and it is a huge help
It might be pulled already on steam but I had same problem at first. The issue was I had opt in for beta enabled so the version it downloaded wasn't right. The cabinet Exe file wasn't installedm. Once I opted out of beta the cabinet mode downloaded. All nearly 4gb of it
Arcooda posted this on FB.
Arcooda "Sorry, just received notice from FarSight there is a technical problem which they are repairing. They will have the revised version up and running in the morning."
I don't youtube but Farsight is already going to have to patch it. It never asks for an unlock code which was interesting and I already found a bug in Cactus Jack (was randomly selecting tables). 3 of the 4 views are corrupted.
That being said the cabinet mode is going to rock once they...
I did see that, I like the fact that it looks like it is a system wide dmd location which means dmdext should work great for those of us with a real dmd. Hopefully freezy just adds direct support like TPA but since it can screen capture it should be simple to get functioning.
I am sort of surprised they didn't offer to let those who purchased the key help beta test it. Seems like the more people who are looking at it the quicker they can get things resolved before they hit the June 30th deadline. I am sure there are people on the fence waiting for the Steam...
That would be ideal. If we can get a few people in and he has interest I would certainly kick to the beer fund. I bought the steam license so hoping to see what it is all about in 4-5 days.
I just hope that cabinet support is something they maintain going foward and we aren't stuck with "76" tables and done. The work has been done, now continue to support and improve it. I don't care if they increase prices for cabinet mode users to pay for the extra development. With all...
