timeframe on dx11

[pm1109]

I plan to look at portrait in the next few days.

Thanks Mike

Mike ... we really appreciate it. I think most of us here in this thread would agree that once you go portrait .... you never go back. Those of us who have gone portait have dropped some cash into our setups and the dx11 update will be a true game changer and a much anticipated upgrade to our homemade simulated pinball machine setups.

+1

I just said to myself "wow" that would be amazing to see. Talk about utilizing an older tv you've always wanted to upgrade. Here's an excuse!

DX11!

Great job Mike!

Portrait is the only way to play. Hell, I didn't even install the top shelf on my desk because when I flip my monitor, it doesn't fit.

 

[Shaneus]

If portrait isn't working, maybe the guy with the custom camera thing could get it up and running? Or at least let us take a peek if it's deemed too buggy for FS to allow for it?

Will the post processing bug be fixed with the direct x 11 update? Currently TPA gives me a horrible jaggy image when post processing is turned on. I think it's tied to the fact I'm in portrait mode at 1024x1280. I'm using a gtx 750 ti w/ a i5 3570K, plenty overhead for this game. Hoping with dx11 portrait mode (re-added) this bug will finally be fixed. Anyone else using 1024x1280 get this bug on the normal TPA?

I was just reading the last couple of pages and thought poor Mike.....so much we ask from him.

Thanks for all you do. We really do appreciate it.

He's all that and a replay!

That is almost poetry

The same happens for me using 720p. I have roughly the 860m card and the game looks flawlessly in my 1080p monitor. So I always assumed it was just a low resolution to handle the post-process

[MENTION=36]Mike[/MENTION],

Have you and your team determined if a public beta is necessary? If so, will it be rolled out before you research/develop Portrait support?

Thanks

A really big thank you to Mike Reitmeyer for the info and even more for all your hard work. We really appreciate you!

Where can the DX11 option be seen on the steam version? I played last night but didnt see

 

[Mike Reitmeyer]

I need to discuss with management how they want me to handle the release and/or public beta.

I wanted to get all the major bugs fixed so everything looks good before trying portrait. I'm hoping it won't be much work. Unless something major pops up today I might get to it today, if not tomorrow.

It's not available yet. When you click play, it should bring up a dialog with 3 options that say play dx9, dx11 or config utility. The DX11 one will give you an error, since the executable is not there yet.

 

[Snorzel]

Ok thnx I Mike Im gonna have a look I played a bunch of season 4 last night but that option never came up for me.

Off topic but I just want to say the level of polish on new tables is increasing noticeably IMO. Season 4 has played great for me so far on PC.

You only get that if you click "Play" from within Steam (or select the game from the Steam systray icon?)

If you use a desktop shortcut, you won't get the menu, since that points directly to the .exe.

So for anyone who wants to default to DX11, I assume they're going to need to create a new shortcut.

 

[Snorzel]

You only get that if you click "Play" from within Steam.

If you have a desktop shortcut, you won't get the menu.

That explains it then thanx for the clarification

 

[Mike Reitmeyer]

If you need to create a shortcut when it comes out, just point it to PinballArcade11.exe instead of PinballArcade.exe. Both will be in the same folder.

Tension is getting more intense by the minute...I already opened the shortcut properties and changed it to 11.

 

[Snorzel]

Yes, the intensity makes me feel tense

 

[SilverBalls]

Maybe a new pinball is in order:

I had the feeling my english was a bit off there
