[QUOTE="Tom Devaney, post: 267217, member: 7016"] So... It seems weird to do this post as the patch I put out had some bugs that I still need to address. But it seems I accidentally deployed this patch instead of 1.19. I went home yesterday and checked out the update history, and it listed it as 1.20 and with Pistol Poker, so I realized my mistake right away. 1.20 I was getting ready for a release along with Pistol Poker in a few weeks, and I forgot it was already approved and everything, so when I seen the most recent patch available to publish, I published it. So that's why people are able to play Pistol Poker. If there are any bugs with it, it's because we were unaware of it, not because it is unfinished. If anyone can solidly reproduce any of these, tell me, and I'll look into it. Sorry for the confusion. Luckily, this little mistake I did doesn't harm anything. So I'm going to post the changelog and go into it here, but know that today I'll be spending it looking into the all the big bugs: trial mode, tokens, and highscores. [B]Patch 1.20[/B] Table Added: -Pistol Poker Features Added: -Added friends leaderboard -Added "You beat friend" HUD -Added new goal completion HUD -Added goal completion sound -Triggers skip through owned tables faster -Separated PS4 tournament from PS3/Vita tournament -Changed tournament all time rank logo -Changed tournament logo Bugs Fixed: -Fixed bug where if player wasn't signed in when they launched the game that even if they signed in later they couldn't access online features -Fixed bad frame in goal completion animation -Fixed high scores menu where you go from newest table to first table, and you skip over Gorgar -Fixed horizontal line showing up in middle of playfield for Addams Family, Cactus Canyon, Dracula, Earthshaker, High Roller Casino, Lights Camera Action, Phantom of the Opera, and Starship Troopers -Fixed bug where going into table exploration prevents fly by camera -Scrolling through leaderboards now works better -Fixed custom ball 8 ball texture being stretched -Fixed stretchy, low-res Pinball Arcade logos on menus -Fixed X button showing up in upper left corner of menus on load -Upper left bumper in Dracula now stays lit So this is a pretty decent update feature wise. QA mentioned how they thought a friends leaderboard was in the PS4 version, but it wasn't. So I added that to the game.

Try not to post them in 1.19 if you think it's a bug caused by this specific patch. [/QUOTE]
