[QUOTE="trash80, post: 296013, member: 7578"] You are obviously new here. Shutyertrap is one of the people behind the blahcade podcast, has an extensive history with both Farsight and Zen, and has been a mostly fair and balanced critic of Pinball Arcade and Pinball FX. Outside of a handful of participants (And they are all over here anyway), the Steam forums are generally a waste of time and filled with uneducated and out of context rants and responses. Plus, Zen has never participated in any meaningful way on the forums since BarbieBoBomb left a few years ago. If you want to report a bug, submit it to the support email. Zen has responded quite well to the cabinet lag, sound and DMD bugs with the latest pack considering the current state of things. Are there other things they could work on? Sure, but this isn't going to happen since development is focused on the new Pinball FX platform. Farsight, FP/BAM/VPX devs, etc. have never collaborated with Zen and to suggest this is absurd. There is more that I could share from back when Zen took over the WMS license, but it wouldn't further this discussion. Just know that you should consider your thinking so far out of the realm of possibility that this should be the only time you mention this if you ever want to be taken seriously again. So why did the latest Williams pack have so many issues... Music channels are tied to Sound channels in the ROM, this is different from all other tables. Alpha Numeric display does not work correctly with the proprietary Zen DMD display layer. The physics are still the same old Zen and Classic/Pro physics found on the previous pack but with table specific tuning (like always), including a slightly lower perceived playfield slope which results in period correct "floatiness." Why doesn't Zen tell us everything? Zen is a company that manages many licenses and platform partners. You cannot announce things before contracts are official, business doesn't work that way.
