Now, if we use the term infestation, I can get behind that. On four of my devices, I noticed missing textures on several tables within the first 20 seconds of play on each. The new table update for Gorgar force closed within two minutes for some odd reason. Selecting balls per table on any device yields a nice black box where the dot matrix window usually is, and the same for below where the ball preview is displayed. There are missing textures on bumpers on some tables, which I found almost immediately hitting the new random table button. No clue how many total Hall of Fame points I have now. The little icons for the HoF are stretched into ovals, and no checkboxes exist per goal to show what you need next. Icons don't display next to the settings options until you switch an option, then they also appear stretched. The Who's Pinball Wizard song is cute, but way too loud and the volume settings won't save. The first impression I got with this update was that someone from Zen had broken into FarSight HQ and uploaded a faulty copy to kill ratings on Google Play. Now, *that* was successful as the one-star ratings are now pouring in by the dozens while there is major disbelief and panic from their customers. Has anyone even seen the slew of bad ratings and comments on GP? I understand this was a global public beta on all platforms, so perhaps the Steam kiddies are also setting their PCs on fire in protest? Is the office locked until Monday? What's going on over there?I would expect something like this from Microsoft, but to unleash a beta in the retail channels, especially one so hideously broken, is just an epic oversight of quality assurance on FarSight's part. From what I can tell looking at the list of issues thus far, and with their schedule for new tables, this is going to take a good long while to fix. And why not work on the UI and get it streamlined, functional and working before putting it in line with a live retail update? If I had the PS4 version, I'd be kicking my TV right now. Why mess with a functional UI and replace it with a broken one that frankly looks like some Linux menu from 1987? I'm a huge fan of black UI, but the title textures aren't even centered and it looks like a disgraceful mess with no care taken whatsoever. The high score input of the dot matrix look was so cute! It blended in with the theme and it just felt right. Now it's just an ugly black box with no personality. I could post 4 gigs of screenshots here to show the numerous graphical problems in this release, but I won't waste my time. I barely consider this update to be alpha, let alone beta. They can release an Indy 6000 table and 12 more for free, but I won't be part of this until things are at least half as polished as the former version, which still should be available in the retail version until something *stable* came along. I'm very disappointed and headed back to Zen until things are fixed.</blockquote>
