[QUOTE="Tom Devaney, post: 267845, member: 7016"] Hey everyone. So the past couple weeks I've been working on the bugs that were unfortunately introduced into Pinball Arcade on the PS4. And I spent a lot of time on the lighting as well (I will go into that on a different post though). Here's the things that I added: [B]Patch 1.21[/B] Features Added: -Presence, which allows you to see what tables your friends are playing -Added settings menu underneath main menu's options -Added global table lighting values that change the lighting values for all tables -Added brighter ball and option to turn off in settings Bugs Fixed: -Controller image now shows camera lock button -Leaving table after beating friend but before posting will no longer prevent beating that friend -Fixed Fireball crash -Fixed Elvira and the Party Monsters crashroperly read in now -Lighting settings are being properly read in -Bulb brightness saves now -Fireball doesn't crash on loadup -Fixed bug where you lighting settings wouldn't save if same as last table's settings -Friends leaderboards shouldn't show friends who don't play the game -Fixed Creature from the Black Lagoon's flyer So before I started working on the bugs, I managed to get a new feature into the game. Presence. You might've seen how one of your friends was playing Fortnite: Battle Royale, and it tells you how many left alive there are in their match. I added something similar to Pinball Arcade, but it says what table you or your friends are playing. Here are some photos showing it off.
