Yes, finally it's there, thanks so much guys! This is beyond awesome! My favourite pinball machine of all times, I am sooooo happy right now.

You did a great job on this (as usual), it feels like being back in the 80's, spending hours and hours with friends playing this table.

Thanks, thanks, thanks!

I think I already can guess the answer, but did any of the old tables get the updated lighting that High Speed uses?

 

[infernogott]

I like the new challenge mode

 

[lettuce]

I like the new lighting technique they are using on this table. Any ideas if this will be added to previous tables at all??

 

[mpad]

Other changes in older tables?

I can't purchase HighSpeed on steam. The price in TPA appears as ERROR. Clicking BUY does nothing........................ disappointing.

I'm not keen on the dark lighting either. Having played the Android release with new high quality textures I actually much prefer the Android version on my Nexus 7!!! :-0

Besides from High Speed and the "Challenge" tab, there's really nothing different about this version...

I get CTDs at random, 4 so far (I think), 3 in High Speed, once (just now) in Attack From Mars. All since upgrading to 1.25.10, and also all since starting to use an X360 wireless controller.

These are not genuine CTDs, in so far as the PinballArcade.exe process is still running, and there's still an icon on my taskbar, but I can't force the game back to the foreground and I have to kill the process. I can't reproduce it - it happens at random. I sometimes see similar things happen with other games, but only after I've deliberately pressed Alt+Tab. I'm definitely not touching the keyboard when this happens, both my hands are on the controller.

System specs, in case they're relevant: i7-2600, Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit, 8Gb RAM, GTX760 2Gb, 1280x1024.

I'm split. I really like the way they use the false GI lighting to over accent alpha planes during the light shows. I can totally imagine how it would be blinding on the HD resolution of newer 'droids, but at the same time I do appreciate being able to see all the little details with no mipmapping and higher LOD settings in a "brighter" atmosphere.

it's a balancing act to try and show what can be done in many ways.

Exactly. I'm glad they chose to try it with HS though, because the light show kinda looks arse without the GI effect on iOS.

 

[lettuce]

Well hopefully they add an option in the future to have this lightning tech enabled or disabled

 

[Shaneus]

Really? It's not like the balls ever in play while the GI is fake off. I think it's a great look personally. You can barely even see it with it disabled.

Agreed, I hope they try something like this with AFM for strobe multiball.

Yup. Although strobe is just a few flashers (vs GI flashing), yes? I don't see any reason the lighting couldn't be faked for that as well, at least on PC.

Good thinking!

 

[Rhandos]

I hope they continue to bring GI lightning into both new and old tables. The current tech on HS still looks a little bit weird, like a texture getting replaced instantly, but it's a welcome start
