It's out! (PC Initial Release Discussion And Feedback)

[Mike Reitmeyer]

Thanks for the reply Mike. I tried that before, I only have 2GB. Just verified the game data and something seems to be wrong there, I hope that will fix it.

Hopefully that's it. If you still have this issue, create a new thread so we can track it (and it doesn't get lost in this one), and copy the Log.txt and the very last line of MemLog.txt (says "Largest Size = #") into your post. Those files will be in the Pinball Arcade installation, usually it's under

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\PinballArcade

Hi Guys, sooo glad we finally got this....just FYI...

UK season pack purchasing seems to not be working at the moment, if you try to purchase a season pack it just hangs then kicks you back to the previous page....
Also the prices are marked as (ERROR)???

Hope I can spend some cash for TPA soon!

I'm reminded of a story of my Grandfather having a yard sale with a tool that had 25 cents on it. And a guy asked if he could do better, so he crossed it off and wrote $1. Be careful what you ask for

;-)

I went by the pricing suggested by Valve.

A lot of studios do that, unfortunately. It just means we pay 35% more (assuming the price tag in US$ is 4,99).

Can anyone else please confirm that Class of 1812 and Victory did indeed make it into the initial release?

Unfortunately that didn't help. Largest size = 276463616

I'll see if I can open a topic tomorrow, it's getting pretty late here already.

Thank you!

Confirmed again if needed

I noticed one small issue with the game. I bought the Season 1 Pro Pack and the pack description said I'd get the Twilight Zone and ST:TNG ball skins with purchase, but I don't see those in the available skins lineup when I select a ball. Otherwise, I'm overjoyed at this release! The lighting on ST:TNG in particular looks so much better on the PC compared to the PS3. I'm not regretting switching at all. =)

Seems like I need to dust off my old i7 Dell PC soon!

 

[debuggiest]

I was able to get it installed but I haven't been able to get it to run yet. Stupid atom pc... It wanted to set my resolution to 768x1366, which turns the screen sideways and gave me a black screen. I tried setting it to 1366x768 and it froze. Tried rebooting, but windows updates kicked in, so I'm gonna have to reboot again before I can test again. When I eventually get around to installing xen on my i5 laptop I can try it on there as well.

 

[Cem Nahit Köne]

can you post some screenshots? aching to see some while I wait for PA to download (incredibly slowly)

Sure, here it is running on my pc @ 2880x1620 with modified nvidia inspector profile.

Good evening everybody. I have been lurking this forum since many months waiting for the announcement of the pc release (I own the discontinued Xbox 360 version too...). Today for me a little dream come literally true and I must say: this is my most expensive videogames purchase ever, 70 euro in a row (my everlasting record was 45 euro ) . I must be gone mad! But I am happy!
Greetings from Italy!

 

[crazy7892]

after two years I have finally switched over from the IOS permanently thank you farsight
P.S my pc is a high end custom rig looking forwarded to more pinball tables, in HD

And the MemLog's last line:

"Largest size = 276463616"

Pro Mode question:

If you set up custom messages on your DMD (such as "Welcome To Pinball Arcade), does it save that message and display it during the DMD attract mode like it would a normal pinball machine? If so, does it save the custom message and other settings once you leave the table? Does bookkeeping actually count plays?

 

[infernogott]

Prices for the season packs in EUR:

Season 1: Price: 27.99 € US: $29.99 -> Converstion to EUR: 22,19 €

Season 2: Price: 36,99 €, US: $39.99 -> Converted to EUR: 29,59 €

So the Europeans get screwed again, like usual.

I guess it's time to start the download and start walking the road of disappointment of finding that my pretty new, crappy computer does not have the uummph, power, for the pc version of TPA.

At least I am prepared for the disappointment that my computer will not run TPA.

The one super bonus is that if this little crappy 'puter does run TPA, my joy will be almost the same as the joy I had this morning after my 89 year old mom called me the second time from the emergency room saying that she did not break any bones when she fell. She also made me happy when mom said that should be okay to go home in a couple of days. If the TPA and my 'puter does not get along, I still have the great joy that my mom is okay.

I will update you with the outcome or if I need help.........May all of you get the best scores of your life on the pc version of TPA.

Yes, but you have to remember to turn on the operators mode each time after you quit that table or the app.

Start off with all reflections, Post Processing and AA turned off in the config tool, and work your settings up from there until you hit the pint where performance degrades. Then you will know the limits of your laptop. My POS laptop will play at 60 FPS with no effects in a windowed view. it;s not great, but I can try it out, lol

I hope your Mom's OK Frank.

 

[LamerDeluxe]

Hi There!

I have the same problem, like LamerDeluxe!

"Largest size = 276463616"

Exact same largest size, seems like a bug.

My config:

Windows XP SP3 32-bit
2 GB Ram
Intel C2D 6600 @ 2.4 GHz
NVidia GTX 460
Asus P5B Deluxe motherboard
Creative X-Fi XTreme Gamer

I've tried freeing HD space from 3 to 8.5 GB, closing all programs, rebooting, nothing changes.
