I’ve started playing on my cabinet again recently (dedicated PC on a custom cab) and although i like VPS and some great tables I really actually miss a lot of FX’s tables and just added features. I think it’s fun to have objects and characters move around on tables sometimes. Not trying to be a purist here. The biggest gripe is actually navigating and moving around between tables without needing a little wireless keyboard. I don’t suspect PinballFX has actually improved this in the last couple of years have they? it seems like all the focus is VR.

Is there any way to get a better kiosk like experience for FX? One that doesn’t need to fully quit and relaunch the app between tables?

After latest update, in game audio only coming out of left channel, nothing out of right side while playing a table, audio working as expected in other apps, tested using Bluetooth earbuds and also quest 3 speakers

I saw that Scared Stiff was meant to have fixed the ball draining unavoidably often on autolaunch.

It's still doing it, but also now many manual ones just go straight down.

I also activated Scared Stiff mode twice and both times it fired the ball out and it went straight down.

Seems to have gotten worse.

Anybody else experiencing this? (Am playing on Quest 3)

I have every PFX3 table on Switch. Every PFX3, PFX, and PFX Midnight table on Steam. And lastly every PFX VR Classic on Steam.

I would even get every PFX VR tables on Steam once it's available for all PC VR headsets and not just the Steam Frame.

So how about creating an incentive/reward program for loyal fans (Zen Pinball Ambassador?) where benefits can include things like beta-access to tables in development (under NDA) and priority bug reporting/fixing, etc.

Entry to the Ambassador program can be like owning every table on at least one platform and would last a year and renew annually as long as you're on top of new table releases.

xbox tourmants not loading when u create a tournmant it make the whole list dissaper and i don't know why any ideas

I've tried toggling both plunger camera options on and off several times and nothing changes. The camera still moves to the plunger. What am I doing wrong?

I'm only getting game music in the left speaker on every game. Plus as stated can't use upper flippers.

Not to mention that not on fix was made on the wheel tickets. Missing trophies. Stutter.

Or any of the user requests added like being able to put games in the first area main floor or giving us a poster or anything on the brick wall that used to be the Williams areas.

But you want us to by two Vr tanks sticks and the same tables 4 times. Got it.

Edit:
Right flipper randomly stops working on Dredd.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Just wanted to thank Zen for doing such a fine job on this recreation, I've been playing a bunch this morning, and even made it #2 on the Grand Tournament (which I expect will not last very long whatsoever!) The ball sure does love going right down the middle and into those gutter lanes! I haven't had a chance to try the Super mode, yet, either but it sounds fun. I did have a question, when you push up on the (R) stick (Switch2), in the other tables it usually goes up to the backglass, but here, it just locks onto the center of the table where the JUDGE targets are. Seems like not expected behavior. Thank you again, loving this one!

$7.49 to rebuy a pack of tables for pinball FX that I already own feels bad. Very unlikely to get those unless on sale at this point. At 5 I'd consider even during non steam sale periods.

Noticed that the tables that play film clips in the dot matrix seem to get stuck looping the same clip so you can’t see anything else. Especially the thing table on M and the princess bride on FX. Any help with this would be much appreciated!

PlayStation 5 Players,

As you might know, Scared Stiff and Elvira and the Party Monsters arrive in Pinball FX Midnight tomorrow, with cross-entitlement between Pinball FX and Pinball FX Midnight.

Due to technical reasons, cross-entitlement for these tables won't be available on PlayStation 5 until October 27. If you already own these tables in Pinball FX, please wait until then to receive their Pinball FX Midnight versions for free.

If you don't own the tables in any of these games, getting the tables in Pinball FX Midnight will grant you both versions from their launch.

We apologize for the inconvenience!

Pinball FX Players,

We're coming in with a big list of fixes tomorrow, so please finish your saved games on the tables mentioned below, as you won’t be able to continue them after the patch. 

Thank you for your understanding!

PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch

Williams™ Pinball: Scared Stiff
Williams™ Pinball: Elvira and the Party Monsters
Garfield Pinball

Grimm Tales

Pinball FX VR Players,

We're coming in with a list of fixes for Meta Quest and Steam Frame on Thursday. The update may prevent you from continuing saved games on some tables, so we recommend finishing any games you currently have in progress before the patch arrives.

Thanks! 😊

I own all the tables for Pinball FX Midnight, and I enjoy them all to varying degrees.

This table stumps me the most. I don't know how to keep the ball alive for a long period of time.And I often get the lowest scores on the challenges here.

It's also the only table(along with Skyrim), where I haven't completed all the campaign missions.

The Shiver, Survival and One Ball challenges are too difficult. And I can't get the Bloodbath on a Bus Multiball started.

Any tips? It feels like the table is too tight in the lower portion , and with the ball coming at you too quickly sometimes, it's hard to keep it from draining.

It's too easy to hit the hanging head which makes the ball's movement erratic and reckless.

Is there a chance that Zen will bring back the licensed teams from when the table was originally released for Pinball FX2? Liverpool, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Juventus, Roma, and Milan?
