    Egg Shaped Ball at top of Cab Views

    This has all been very strange but thanks for the "refund". I will live up to your "terms".

    Arcooda announced their pricing!

    That video was very fair in its assessment. He lays out very well the risks people are taking when buying these products sight unseen with no trial and no refunds. All the risk is on the buyer. The product may never work and the company selling it doesn't have to make it work. He seems to...

    Egg Shaped Ball at top of Cab Views

    You needn't worry. I, of course, tried to take him up on his offer but I don't think he is going to follow through. It was weird. He came up with these conditions on what I could and couldn't post about even including words I couldn't use. I agreed to all of it but when I asked for the money, so...

    Egg Shaped Ball at top of Cab Views

    This sounds good and all but, I have looked at the table from many angles and it always does the same thing for me. The back end looks really stretched downward and everything looks distorted. How come nothing else on my cabinet does this? How come no other video game I play has this phenomenon...

    Feature Request for Arcooda Software

    Would it be possible to add an option to use FarSight's original views in addition to the ones provided by Arcooda? There is still slowdown and frame rate issues for me in 3 of these views but even if the slowdown is eventually fixed, I do not like the design choices that were made to achieve...

    I would be very interested in knowing if some of the issues we are seeing in the Steam software exist on their cabinet. I am specifically interested about whether the perspective issues described in the "Egg Ball" thread exist on their cabinet. Nudnick describes this very well in his post. There...

    Egg Shaped Ball at top of Cab Views

    To be honest, I'm more concerned about the overall distorted perspective nudnick describes than the ball. His post describes exactly what is going on in my cabinet. I have to believe that this distortion is in everybody's cabinet. It has to be. It's the method used to create the fake 3D effect...

    Egg Shaped Ball at top of Cab Views

    I also can't think of a logical reason why this particular issue would be different on different machines. It doesn't seem to relate to performance like the slowdown/frame rate issues would. This is a software algorithm issue. It should behave the same on every machine I would think. The reason...

    Egg Shaped Ball at top of Cab Views

    So I guess you're agreeing that you also think this stretching of the playfield items in the rear is by design (except the ball). If that's the case then that is not an effect I want. It's really almost like the playfield tilts down toward the back rather than up like it would on a normal table...

    Egg Shaped Ball at top of Cab Views

    When I select the different camera modes, it pretty clearly stretches everything on the top half by increments even when not actively playing (just switching the camera) . It is definitely more than just the ball that stretches. I believe this is by design. It does achieve a somewhat 3D effect...

    Egg Shaped Ball at top of Cab Views

    Agree with everything here. The perspective is all wrong. This is why I don't think this issue will ever be fixed. It is not a bug. It is a design problem. It seems the method chosen to acheive the illusion of depth was to just stretch everything on the back half of the table. That may get you...

    Arcooda Software Refund Process

    I know I'm beating a dead horse here so this is probably my last post on this topic. Just including my response to Arcooda to close this out. Some will agree, some won't. I get it. I still hope we end up with a decent product in the end. Well, this is disappointing to say the least. The...

    Arcooda announced their pricing!

    This is actually a fair point. The reason I view this situation differently is that the policy is generally posted somewhere and that this software was sold with a lot of known serious bugs and a very tight window to fix them. In that case, I think it imparitive to make it clear that it is beta...

    Arcooda announced their pricing!

    I did not slam their hardware. You're right, I have no knowledge of it. My advice is more speaking to their business practices and just to advise overall caution. Based on the issues surrounding the software, I now view them as shady. Shirking questions about refunds (referring people to this...

    Arcooda announced their pricing!

    Glad you think it is sound advice. I purchased the software from Arcooda. Arcoodas logo is all over it. They should take responsibility for it. If I buy a cabinet and it craps out because the parts in it are crap and there are no refunds, do you want me blame the Chinese parts maker? No. That's...

    Arcooda announced their pricing!

    If you are planning to sink this kind of money into their product, I advise reading every bit of fine print. Do not take anything said on this or any other forum regarding "promised" support as gospel. Read the actual legal terms of your agreement. Also understand that this is an Australian...

    Arcooda Software Refund Process

    OK, I just went through the entire ordering process on a test basis and there is no mention of refund policy. Also, a refund policy is nowhere to be found on the site. HOWEVER, at the very end of the ordering process, there is mention of a EULA. You have to click it to read it but if you do and...

    Arcooda Software Refund Process

    I just think they should clearly state "All sales Final. No refunds" on the order page. To not include this in their FAQ is clearly deceptive IMO. Now it appears they have been evading the issue when others have questioned. This software runs very poorly on my system except in the overhead flat...

    Arcooda Software Refund Process

    I do not recall seeing anything during the purchasing process but i guess thats possible. It wasn't obvious because I have seen multiple posts here that suggest people think they can get a refund. I cannot imagine anyone buying the $500 version under these conditions. Not to mention their...

    Arcooda Software Refund Process

    This is very interesting to me. So you did ask and they "deflected the question". I feel like flippy floppy did the same in this thread. Very disappointed in that if he knew and just didnt say.
