[QUOTE="Tann, post: 266087, member: 2327"] Hello, I was cooking a changelog since the 2.32 (US)/1.30 (UE) release in November, but one month later, surprise, a new update (2.33 in US, 1.31 in EU). I planned to create a topic about that, but as there is this one (moreover with a dev roaming around! Hail to Tom Devaney!), here we go: [B]TPA 2.32 & 2.33 (US) 1.30 & 1.31 (UE)[/B] (Note: an update make re-download the whole game, approximatively 3.3Gb) [U]General:[/U] + Physics 3.0 on [U]all[/U] tables. Yeeess, finally. Makes a huge difference on the majority of the tables. + "Shiny" lighting and reflection FX toned down on the ball (and this is a good thing) + All challenges added + Non-purchased tables now have their own music (not ToTAN music playing for all tables) - Input lag still awful in 1080i/p. Ball stuttering is even worse. I guess it will never be fixed. Too bad, as in 720p, no input lag but 2D assets on the playfield are weirdly messy and aliased as hell (huge dithering in 720p, not in 1080i/p). - Translucent ball bug still there ([url=http://digitalpinballfans.com/showthread.php/13012-TPA-NA-v2-33?p=266260&viewfull=1#post266260]see this post[/url] for steps to reproduce) - Friend leaderboards partially fixed: ToTan, HRC, ToM, JD:SS, JY, MM, NGG, BK2K, NF still display IDs from my PSN friend list, which don't even own TPA. + Black Hole leaderboard re-synced (but in the process, all PS3 highscores from the previous BH leaderboard have been erased... bye-bye my 16M score) - FunHouse leaderboard still de-synced: PS3 highscores are not posted to the "official" leaderboards (those on the TPA website) - Sound settings (Table music, table FX, Menu music) don't stay saved. It has to be set again each time the game is launched - Font for the Challenge table result screen is too big (the one asking you if you want to continue or use another credits). The score display is trimmed (ex: let's say you scored 59.6 pts. I will be displayed: "Your score: 5") - Tournaments partially fixed: no problem to enter a tourney, to post scores. But when a tournament is finished, trying to check the tourney final rankings, it still says "You did not participate to this tournament", although you did. "None" is displayed instead of the final rankings (when pressing the X button). However, All-Time Rankings (when pressing the square button) take into account the latest tourney results. [U]Tables:[/U] + ToTAN multiball start fixed: the first ball is correctly caught by the magnet each time the shoot is attempted. + CV yellow bulbs fixed (OMG, this one was sooooo old!) + TAF: the Power has been weakened (good!) + ST:TNG : Final Frontier camera view fixed - The Champion Pub rope event still broken in 720p. The ball does not jump at all. Fun fact: pressing all buttons to find a way to make the ball jump... deactivates the flippers. Yes, when the ball is released from the Rope place, flippers don't work anymore. ^^ - BK2K camera bug still present: after any multiball ended (Ransom or Double Knights Challenge), the camera does not zoom in anymore on the upper playfield (even if the camera view is unlocked).

The Bally challenge shows a black screen at the first table already.[/I]". Seems fixed, ScotchYeti said so. ----------------- If you noticed something else I didn't catch or forget, let us know! ----------------- Now, the 1 million question: as TPA on PS3 won't be supported anymore due to "technical limitations" (#BestJokeEverFromFarsight), can we assume that this Xmas update will be the last? Thanks for reading! [/QUOTE]
