Direct links to store for Season 5. They should show up at some point linked to Pinball Arcade. Not sure how long that takes to propagate.

I bought it out of the game this time. Worked fine.

Did avast quarantine the exe?

No it did not, it just stopped the game from launching and once done checking the file it just did what I described, even removing files and redownloading did not fix it

Bought Season Pack 5, and still it won't launch, it just keeps shutting itself down and relaunching over and over It worked fine on W10 before this update, don't get why it does this.

Rebooted Steam and now it does work.

It's in there.

Is it? The song sounds weird to me. Not at all how I remember it sounding. The voice samples are also weirdly off. Like they're played back way too low. Can't quite describe what is wrong with the music. Playing at the wrong sample rate maybe? Anybody else noticing some strangeness?

- GI fix for all emulated tables

What does GI stand for?

 

[Robert Misner]

general illumination is my guess...which tables are emulated is the trick to me.

Flipper Physics 3.0
We're proud to announce that the flipper physics 3.0 enhancement has been expanded to all tables on Steam. You will now be able to Live Catch, Drop Catch, and Tip Pass on every table!

OMG no way did i expect that!!!!

The song sounds weird until you realize it's a synth cover of the original, not the original. "Real" songs didn't get into Pinball until Red & Ted.

General illumination.


This is awesome Mike thanks! Was a total surprise as I had no idea there was a new table coming this soon or that it was one of my most wanted!
I already have the front end scripting done to incorporate it into my cab. So far it all seems to be working great (haven't tested any other tables yet though)/.

Beat me to it. You are not the only one.

i dont' think this actually happened.
I just tried monster bash and CFTBL and both flippers are still doing the full throw no matter how rapidly i tap them.
Theater of Magic is definitely in tho... gonna try the rest of the tables that were tuned and see

 

[SCAAMMM]

Bought the pro version of season 5 (upgrade). But the game says I have the non pro version.

 

[SCAAMMM]

On closer inspection it has rebought the season four pro pack! Help!

Thanks farsight! Awesome job!
Great newsletter with great news! physics 3.0 on all tables?! Wow.
Keep up the great work.

Great newsletter with great news! physics 3.0 on all tables?! Wow.

I know it's in the newsletter, but I doubt it.

 

[crazywolf]

The Fullscreen Bug on DX 11 is still there. How hard is it to fix it after months? On Highspeed II the right Flipper seems to me to shoot too far to the left, the left Flipper looks ok.
Scores and Table Targets are still gone since last month, my Backup of the Highscores-File is not working.
Whats with the new UI, announced for 1 or 2 years? Custom Ball Selection is very confusing...
The rest, good work.

 

[Nimrod]

Nice one thanks mate, can't wait to play on the tables with fantastic new physics!

 

[suffocater]

Steam is funny.

In browser or in the main programm, there is no season 5 listed.
The direct links to the two versions of season 5 work, but steam thinks i don't have bought it.
The game remembers that I have bought the season 5 pro pack.

 

[Robert Misner]

So I was doing some testing and I think just the tables that were adjusted got the new flipper physics I tried all of them and they all have the newer flippers.
I've gone thru the rest of season 4 and all the others don't and all the ones in season 3 i tried that weren't on the list don't either.

The Getaway is awesome..and like how JackBot has completely replaced Pinbot for me, I think this will replace Highspeed completely.

 

[Sir_LANs-a-lot]

Just updated to the new version and grabbed a Season5 pass. Getaway looks great. Nice work guys.

Oh no, I get that. What I mean is that the music sounds different from what I remember coming out of the actual table. I was wondering if licensing ZZ Top fell through and we got a designer impostor cover version instead.

I captured some video. If this is what it is supposed to sound like, and what the real table sounded like, ignore the ravings of this crazy man

 

[Kampfhendl]

Waiting so long for this one!!!!!! GRRRREAT MIKE!!!
