    Is this it for Farsight / Pinball Arcade?

    Yes I was pleasantly surprised, the binding issue took 9 months to fix so I feared the worst. I'd love to see something new from Farsight to keep things interesting, but unless there's a complete engine overhaul the Stern licence could be put to better use elsewhere.

    Is this it for Farsight / Pinball Arcade?

    Farsight pushed an update last night (1.71.27) which seems to have fixed the key binding issue. Unfortunately it has also introduced issues launching a number of tables in DX11 and immediately crashes to desktop (e.g. Ghostbusters, Cactus Canyon, Star Trek TNG, Ripley's). I've uploaded the exe...

    I use those Challenge slots to store tables I rarely want to play (Safecracker/Junkyard/Champion Pub). Easy challenges tend to be the most time efficient for parts/coins and I skip many of them to maximise earnings. I reckon Party Zone One-Ball is the quickest as you can win off the plunge...

    I received the notification, though likewise I received a server error and was unable to claim. The same problem occurred with the free tickets in December, it's a one time opportunity.

    Just noticed this Bonus Challenge has appeared in the store (100 coins). Fairly certain I previously spent coins unlocking an additional Challenge mode :confused:

    Williams on Android - ramps and nudging

    Yeah I made that call on the ball spin and it may still play some part in it - I believe I got a response from Zen saying they'd investigate. Wish there was a dev-tool we could access with numerical data as it would be possible to make clearer observations, perhaps as a beta/test function as you...

    Happy New Year everyone, hope you all had a good Christmas! I eventually managed to connect to the server though I was awarded no tickets, just a notification that I had already claimed the offer. Shame but no great loss.

    I usually receive their VIP/e-shots although not on this occasion, according to Twitter the reward link is: http://bit.ly/WMSMagic The app does open but it takes an age then gets stuck on a Fetching Data prompt, but that could be due to the rampant server issues.

    I've now maxed all the tables, though I'll keep playing a few challenges a day to top up my dwindling coin and ticket balance! A subtle but perhaps noteworthy observation, my Grade 4 tables are no longer classified as 'owned' in the Arcade section. Clearly a change made to better comply with...

    Williams on Android - ramps and nudging

    No it's not just you, several of the Williams tables exhibit this unusual behaviour (Android/PC). Presumably those ramps and rails have been assigned a friction value, if the ball speed is not of greater value it changes direction. This window of opportunity seems to be fairly narrow so the...

    Williams' Collection Volume 5 impressions

    TOTAN - Aside from the sound issues good job overall. CV - Excellent presentation but gameplay feels off and I'm not enjoying it. (playing the real cab was one of my pinball highlights of the year). NGG - Really growing on me, I hated the TPA version. It feels cramped and looks somewhat...

    Yeah that 50000 included four promotions (12000), though the final upgrade requires Zen coins. I do have enough to max everything but that would leave little incentive to play challenges for several months.

    Just blown a cool 50000 tickets, although I still have another 50000 in the bank :eek: Latest progress: CFTBL 4* MB 73/100 CV 50/100 NGG 29/100 TOTAN 62/100

    “Pro” Cabinet Mode?

    I got into VR way back in 2014 and confident it will breakthrough eventually, at least as a partner format. I'm also pretty desperate for Williams in VR, keen to pay something for that privilege but would struggle to justify paying for every table pack twice. I consider myself a huge fan but...

    It is indeed mysterious, here in the UK it's £9.49 for grade 2 (versus £7.19 for Steam versions) and immediately unappealing unless you're living a care-free lifestyle. That same amount would pay for 350 coins > 17x Vol 5 boosters > 87 parts. You'd prob get the Monster and Vol 5 tables close...

    Williams Pinball App Discussion

    I'd rather pay a couple of quid a table for select mobile versions but Zen opted for a different approach. I won't pretend to understand the mobile market and it's highly doubtful I'm their intended audience for the platform, although admittedly I do enjoy the occasional play. I'd be utterly...

    “Pro” Cabinet Mode?

    From reading the Steam forums, I'm slightly suspicious that most cabinet code requests are made to unlock portrait mode. Zen should make that a standard option as it clearly skews the true number. Many users get extremely angry when you inform them it's possible to play in portrait mode if...

    Yeah same strategy, though I spent a good 100 coins on those booster packs! Wish I'd started spending a coin on those challenges flips a little sooner, only discovered they contained parts a couple of days ago. I noticed your comment about the plunger issues on NGG and can now confirm it...

    I've upgraded TOTAN and NGG to Grade 2 though CV is falling behind the others (10/15). There's a similar imbalance with Universal Monster, CFTBL is currently 51 parts ahead of Monster Bash.

    SPA VR for Oculus Rift

    I currently own AC/DC, ST, RBION and GB. My fear for the long-term is the app getting pulled from the store entirely, I've also seen many apps break over the years when they don't get updated to the latest Rift SDK. One thing I can confirm is that in-app table purchases work without logging...
