PC Version 1.20.4 Discussion And Feedback

[JPelter]

Nudging and staging flippers works perfectly for me on my 360 controller.
Not sure why people have such a problem with staging. To me it seems like 25% and not 5% for it to trigger.

I did a test on the windows controller panel test and funhouse and it's almost exactly 5% for me. It might be that some settings files aren't getting updated for everyone. Going to delete everything and reinstall and see if that helps.

e: Didn't help. I'm out of ideas.

Playing with my wired xbox controller, the staging flipper feature seems pointless for me as it is now.

Perhaps 10% is the magic number. User definable is even better.

It would be nice if Farsight put release notes for each update/patch under their "Product Updates" channel of their Steam news page so people can see what each update fixes while they're downloading the update instead of being forced to come here.

The portrait mode cameras are set up for general portrait monitor play and are centered on the flippers. The cameras should be centered on the table's width in the cabinet version.

I am assuming that the overwhelming majority of portrait mode users (with or without a cab) would prefer the playfield to be centered left to right and NOT centered on the flippers.

Let's have a vote.. Please chime in people..
I vote for it to be centered obviously.

If I'm wrong and I'm in the minority then I will shut the f up.

Nope it's not there anymore.
Only in the Configuration Tool outside of game (that auto-runs on 1st launch)

Thanks for that.

What a pain... some games are fine with it, but others (El Dorado for one) look much better without... I preferred looking at the difference to see dynamically but now that's gone :/. Hopefully not too long a wait until it's enabled.

When TZ was released FS centred the view on the cabinet and there was a huge backlash because the flippers weren't centred. perhaps feelings have changed. Who knows Pinheads are a fickle lot aren't they.

and almost forgot: glad finaly to see option to off vibration, so now only one vibrating thing left here is me when i try to get another wiz goal.

I agree that this probably makes sense for a landscape view because the view field is so short but I would argue that in portrait mode, centering the playfield would be preferable whether you have a cabinet or not. Better yet, would it be too hard to provide a choice ?

Any non-cabinet owners have an opinion here? Anyone know how to post a poll?

I'll make a poll in a separate thread

Thanks for the solid build.

Love the event camera toggle.

Anyone else get the first character of their initials cut off on the high score display while on portrait mode? It works fine in landscape mode.

By the way, what happened to HoF points on the PC version?

This is old already... HUD has the wrong aspect ratio for any not 16:9 resolutions! 1280x1024 is a mess.

 

[crazy7892]

Thanks for letting us kill the music. I've never been a fan of menu music in any game. It's always the first option I find when I buy a new game.

same here (thank goodness no offense but the menu music was killing me)

 

[BonzoGonzo]

great update!

absolutely LOVE the event camera toggle - now i can fully appreciate the metamorphosis on bride of pinbot

Has anyone else lost their high scores and table goals? I lost all of mine after my computer froze while playing. Wasn't a BSOD, it just froze. Had to hard reset and now I have lost my save.

Portrait mode views tend to be cropped too tight. Funhouse is virtually unplayable.
Need to be able to see any part of the table where the ball travels.

 

[hammr25]

It would be nice if the game automatically paused if a controller became disconnected during the game.

Any news on the next update?
