Steam - Season Pro Upgrade

[crazywolf]

Hi,
the Newsletter tells that today the pro upgrade is on sale, but how do i upgrade? I just can upgrade tables. I have season 1 and 2 bought in the game, so the steam shop dont show season 1 and 2 as purchased, but i can play them. So where is the function to upgrade a season?

The Newsletter tells you the prices for all platforms, but, as far as I know, the Pro Upgrade is not available on all platforms.

It should be available on Steam as well, but I can't find a way to buy the upgrade as well.

I'm having the same problem, but I think what Biff is saying is that the sale may be on all platforms but the ability to upgrade a season seperatly may not be an option. I know on my Kindle I can select upgrade the entire season but Steam doesn't give me that option.

 

[Xanija]

Ah, ok, I didn't remeber there are already upgrade options on some platforms like PS3. Then it makes perfect sense, although it's about time to get this to PC (and I would love to take the discount for S1 + S2)

Steam PC/OSX doesn't have the Season One Pro Upgrade or the Season Two Pro Upgrade, Just the Season Bundles.

Why?

 

[gypsyshred]

Yes, why? You guys are leaving money on the table. I'm not sure what you have to loose by offering the upsell, and quite a few quick buys by not. The single table upgrade rate is abhorrently high, but I'll happily kick you guys a small fee per season. I didn't buy the pro seasons before because the tables were so fuzzy and low rez they weren't worth looking closer at. You guys have now solved that problem, so take my money lol!

 

[FlippyFloppy]

I'll write up a report and see if we can rectify the issue. I had thought the PC had all purchase options available like the other platforms.

August 3rd, still no option to upgrade (except in-game, which doesn't work nearly as well). Please add this before the sale ends! I'm already kinda mad I missed the sale in the first place...

What's the "doesn't work nearly as well" part? I also did not have S1 or S2 Pro so went through the process of upgrading those in game. No issues. Is the problem with the additional step of adding funds to the steam wallet? It adds the exact amount you need to do upgrade.

 

[tenparts]

The problem isn't the bit about adding funds to the Steam wallet. Also, for the record, you actually have $0.01 left over per item.

The problem is that TPA is an incredibly temperamental program and has a habit of crashing if you even so much as go into menus in a certain sequence. Sometimes TPA will even lock itself in a bad cycle of corrupting certain files almost every time you dare to play the thing, requiring you to recheck it every single time this happens.

Alt+Tab and the Steam Overlay are two big vectors for this. If the upgrades were just normal DLC options on the game's Steam page, you'd at least alleviate the problem a bit. Plus, it's just nice to have that option.

I would have bought this if it had shown in the actual Steam store. No way was I going to bother with doing it from within the game.

 

[Crawley]

FYI it shows up in your Steam purchase history when you use Steam Wallet to purchase it in game.

I would definitely be interested in the pro upgrade option if it were available.

 

[Xanija]

It is available for a whole season. Click on a "Go pro" button on a table and then "Buy all" - you will get the pro upgrade offer for the season of the table selected.

It's not possible to buy it as DLC in the Steam store.

Great. Thanks.
