[QUOTE="ODB123, post: 296009, member: 8007"] This steam forum poster claims zen devs are/were collabing with VPX and suspects this might be the reason for the problems. None of us have any way of knowing. However, if the collab dates back a year or so, it is a bit of an odd coincidence that Volume 6 is so bug ridden when all previous releases played smoothly: [I] PinballVirtual.es-Victor has Pinball FX3 Oct 25, 2020 @ 8:36am By changing the resolution of the playfiel from 4K to FHD (1920x1080) the tables already run smoothly with DMD. In Virtual Pinball with a newer computer than mine and with a better graphics card, they don't give problems either. My Intel Core i5 is already a few years old, it is fourth generation and the graphics is a GTX1060 that for the FHD I was doing very well, but it seems to have fallen short for the new Zen tables. With that computer I was moving Visual Pinball (VPX) without problems, when VPX has always been much more demanding in terms of PC requirements, apparently now it is just the opposite, we need a more powerful computer to move FX3 than to move VPX. With that computer all systems work fine in 4k except Pinball FX3, VPX OK, TPA OK, Pro-Pinball OK, Zaccaria OK, Wicked OK, Future well, it's Future, but fine, Malzbies OK, SlamIt OK ... Just I have problems with Pinball FX3. Zen always had in mind to maintain a balance to reach the largest possible number of "customers" being a commercial game, however [B]I heard a little over a year ago that VPX developers would collaborate with Zen and since then it seems that something has gotten out of control Could it be a coincidence? Perhaps, I do not believe coincidences.[/B][/I] [url]https://steamcommunity.com/app/442120/discussions/0/5063694237350012822/?ctp=2[/url] It's obvious that zen employees worked on zen products. The question is, did they consult or collab with others which may have slowed their progress or created unnecessary problems? Too many cooks spoil the soup as they say. No one has been able to explain why these tables have so many problems. On my google pixel xl, the volume 6 tables play very differently than any williams tables prior. There is ghosting, slow ball movement, and a very limited number of ways that the ball behaves meaning shot trajectories are extremely predictable, similar to Sorcerer's Lair (a 2012 game?). As far as steam being a sh*tshow, it is true that there is one isolated racist troll, but aside from that, the complaints are all legitimate as far as I can tell.
