Request Beta of Pinball Arcade for PC?

[netizen]

Can you stream this event Carl? You might be able to get some backers on Kickstarter for something like that

 

[Mike Reitmeyer]

QA is testing the build I gave them now. Most likely they'll have a list of must fix bugs for me. Once we get those fixed we'll be able to do a beta. Hope to have some news soon.

Thanks Mike! I'll try to keep Carl and the rest of the gang from exploding and drenching the studio in blood until then...

Challenge accepted.

It's amazing how well your avatar suits this post.

Is Virtua Pin support definitely in? I'm guessing post-release? Supporting three outputs (playfield, back glass, and DMD)?

 

[SpiffyRob]

Even portrait mode won't be supported at launch, so it it'll be a while until there's full cabinet support. I'm holding out hope for two-monitor support, but I really doubt we'll ever see DMD support.

Please someone at FarSight give us a date ! I think a lot of PC users have been waiting for the PC version for so long. Even if you aren't sure give us an estimate, anything. I want to buy all the tables for PC right now.

But then it won't be a BETA if its bug free...

He said a "list of must fix bugs".

They said August.

Don't worry there's plenty of bugs to go around.

I've joined the crowd of explosive waiters ( Not a reference to beef and bean burritio's). I am so ready to play on a computer ! Surely there will be the option to use a controller like the Ps3 or xbox. So many times on the Kindle I miss a shot by sliding over the flipper and nudge is just plain awkward; at least for me.

So far it doesn't run on one of our XP PC's, looking into that. That would be a must fix bug.

It has support for 360 controllers.

Thanks Sean

Since a lot of cabinets run with XP, that indeed is a must fix.

I am here, using my computer for something other than TPA. Thus, TPA has not been released.

I don't understand. So even if we already run our screen in portrait instead of landscape on the computer in general, the game just won't start because it doesn't support vertical resolutions?

 

[rob3d]

I sure it'll start it just either wont scale correctly or it'll maintain landscape aspect ratio. It'll be added eventually, I thought I read somewhere they bought a pincab so they could add support for it.

I remember Mike saying in chat one night awhile back that he was able to make the menu scale to portrait very easily, but I don't know if he's made progress on the table views yet. Hopefully he can chime in and give us an update on that.
