What's New in Version 3.9.2

Minor bug fixes (Victory, High Speed, Totan)
Orbals special pinballs

 

[MadScience2006]

Since a few versions (v3.8.0 if I'm not mistaken) back, the HUD setting is no longer being saved as it previously was. In the past, the setting would stick and stay stuck. Now the HUD seems to always default to ON which makes a mess of Circus Voltaire since you are basically seeing two HUDs...the one built into the table and the floating HUD. You can easily turn off the floating HUD but the next game or exiting the table altogether, then running it again will re-enable it.

The app updated but the listed tables did not re download when I started them. Was this a silent update or should the tables download again.

 

[MadScience2006]

No, it was not silent. The tables that were updated were Victory and Diner. The High Speed and TOTAN tables were not included in the actual download. I believe fixes for these two tables were in the app itself. The tables themselves were not updated.

What is "Orbals special pinballs" if anybody knows?

Custom balls, I imagine.

CV needs some love.

Also, would be nice if they fixed the corrupted sound file in HRC.

On the whole, good fixes though.

So what got fixed in Victory? Played it and the ball was still small and floaty.

I think they need to let some air out of the table...that'll make the ball bigger. As for less floaty...will letting out out of the table fix that too?

I played some TOTAN and thought I saw two changes: definitely a wider and therefore easier accesible left orbit. On the other hand, the left outlane, and maybe the right one too seem also wider and are more brutal. But I could be wrong because I played a lot of HD 3rd edition before trying TOTAN after the update. There is also a plastic on the left return ramp that I just now seem to have discovered, but that may have been there already
The few games I have played I would say that the easier orbit doesn't offset the more brutal outlanes, making this a more difficult table.

I recently reported a problem; when launching the ball lightly, sometimes it would drain without the camera switching to flipper view, so you couldn't flip. It looks like this was fixed! Thanks Farsight!

I couldn't pick any fixes in High Speed at all. The high score sounds are still jumpy and uneven compared to the PC version (which makes no sense!), and the full-plunge is still unreliable and won't consistently make the full loop.

But remember, "physics are the same across all platforms" LOL

Oh, but they are as far as that goes. The full plunge is unreliable on PC as well

Keep in mind I own a High Speed and every single full plunge will make it around the loop. It's a horrible bug because you need to full plunge each time you start multiball and if it doesn't work, it means you only get two-ball instead of three.

Works fine for me... iPhone 5, iOS 8... As long as you've already got the tables downloaded. If you have to download one, you'll get this error:

Proof it's online:

Fails out on cell data too.

Edit: I'm also on 3.10.0 #5 if that makes a difference

Graphics are screwed up now on iPhone 6. The previous version worked fine. In landscape mode, the flippers are now below screen level. The score display on High Speed is now smack in the middle of the screen. And all text for the link boxes (My Tables, Options, etc...) run off the actual buttons.

 

[MadScience2006]

[MENTION=504]Jay[/MENTION]...that doesn't sound good. One of the first things I would personally do would be to wipe out the TPA install, then reinstall from scratch and see if the the problem is resolved. Many times, this fixes things but it can be a pain in the butt to do so.

Probably, not many of TPA's beta testers out there even have the iPhone 6. I do remember this happening when the iPhone 5 was released with it's different screen ratio (from the iPhone 4) causing issues similar to this.

 

[Jay]

Thanks! That fixed it.

 

[MadScience2006]

Great to hear!
