Another small update, no version number change. Just changed updated Configuration utility, didn't realize it changed when I built the 0.023 build.

Don't have a clue but I am guessing that T2 will be the first portrait table and will be shown at the expo this weekend.

Thanks fellas!

Nice to see some visual improvements on the logos, icons etc. although Post Processing is still spoiling most of that good work.

Navigation in menus is a lot slicker now too :)

Not for everybody, at least it wasnt. Explain that one to me.

Logged out and back in, no T2. On another note, man o man, the tables and menus are looking great. I notice I can now page through the tables using the flippers, very nice. Everything will be ready to go once cabinet gets up and running.

Great work.

That's an easy one to explain, the table is tied to user account not the beta build. It must not of been activated on your user account and I assume you need to email support@pinballarcade.com and a staff member can activate it. If I recall that is what I did, but I can check my email if needed for more specifics.

The email below was sent 8/23

Hello there,

We want to let you know that you are officially able to beta test Terminator 2 for PC, if that is your platform of choice.

Just a reminder that if your FarSight log in is different from your Kickstarter log in, please let us know at support@pinballarcade.com.

We are just a bit away from releasing for PC and I/we hope that you are as excited as we are.

Thank you.

From where we are now, I would be happy with the following artwork fixes before release:

1. Post Processing problem persists
2. HUD DMD is dull
3. Something could be done with the navigation bar
4. Also, we really could do with a better quality environment in which to sit the tables! Even if it's just higher resolution wooden flooring or something.

I would be very grateful if higher resolution table textures and better quality lighting come at some point, even if it's a while after release.

Thanks for all the hard work :)

First, thanks for the update !
Great looking landscape mode HUD and Interface, it really works great.

So many things that were fixed and not listed, good stuff.

Thanks for the fixes in Scared Stiff - Stiff in the Coffin Multiball Animation. So many others.

It's been noted that we can successfully noted that portrait mode kinda works. It is great to play even with the aspect ratio a bit (LOL) off and Hud/Interface Elements distorted and off screen. In Portrait mode the vertical space is less compressed and angles seem more natural even with the screen aspect ratio off.

Once support for a VPin plunger is supported I have ordered a plunger and will work on ordering a DMD driver/Display setup. It will be a vertical VPin since I don't have much horizontal space available. Besides, that dang thing is too heavy (400+ lbs) to get up 4 flights of stairs, but I will have a homebuilt VPin hybrid setup.

Thanks again, everyone involved.

Oh right, no I defo don't have T2 in my table list, I'm signed in also. I selected T2 for the PC as my platform of choice so should I be seeing T2 in my games list?. Maybe I need to contact FS

This, Lettuce.

Somehow they must have left you off the access list. Give them an email at the link above.

First time I've encountered this in all beta versions. Was working just fine yesterday.

No longer boots from Steam. :(
