Bug Report thread for Pinball FX

[Klopzi]

Update (2023-03-30): Issue resolved. Thank you.

----

I just realized that none of my scores are being saved for any events on PS5. I didn't have this issue until I started playing today.

Update: I deleted and reinstalled the base game and all tables. No change. My scores are not being recorded for any of the events on PS5.

Update #2: Saw a note from Zen on Reddit stating that dev team is aware of this issue and working on a fix.

What do you mean by "arms"? Are you referring to the flippers?

Yes

Is there anything more been on my issue with Bride Of pinbot? Do you want me to upload a video? I've still seen zero interaction between devs in the community here... I will put the effort in to share whatever you need to resolve this because my confidence in playing that table is at 0% until it gets fixed. But we're on here trying to help you make the game better so is this the right channel for that or is this forum a waste of time?

Update (2023-04-06): Issue resolved. I can see season progress again. Thank you.

Following the most recent patch on PS5, completing any event generates an error message saying that the server connection is lost. I hadn't previously seen this error. And I don't get any errors playing any of my tables in the "MY TABLES" tab.

I also can't see my season progress. Before the patch, I was at around 350 season points. Pressing square on the Events tab showed my progress. The button no longer works. 😔

I haven't completed the tutorial again. Is that contributing to the issue? If yes, do I get another day of Pinball Pass when I complete the tutorial a second time? 🙂

I appreciate any help. Thank you.

Same issue as Klopzi above me. No server connection since patch 1.03, no season on top of events page, no season progress. I'm on PS5.

EDIT: Just found a solution to the problem: I had cross play turned off. Turning it back on brought back the season and server connection!

I'll give that a shot tonight! Fingers crossed. Thank you, HairyKong!

Several badges are still locked once we get all prerequisites on PS5 = namely table awards10, 20, 30, still locked, for decorating all pinhall too still locked, and several other ones too. I'm on PS5, pinball PASS. I know a couple are reserved for table owners who paid without pass, but for the rest is it a glitch or intentionally time gated for pinball pass owners?

I've played over 100 hrs so far with LESS than 8 badges to choose from lol...................

Update: the issue is still present, these ships are still missing in game from the windows, it is the 13th of April.

Hi, I have a relatively minor bug here on Xbox Series X, on the table "The Empire Strikes Back" every single star destroyer ship in the background is missing, they will pass by the windows,

I have a screenshot showing Pinball FX3 here:

And I have the table in the new game which is missing this neat little detail:

Keep in mind I waited a long time and these ships never appear in the new game Pinball FX like they should before.

Update: I downloaded the Bride of Pinbot trial table: this resolved my issue. Would it be possible to offer this option to players looking to play events if they haven't downloaded the table? Seems obvious but I missed it.

--

New events started today on PS5. I am unable to play the free Bride of Pinbot event. There is no option to start playing: table is grayed out.

Please let me know if I can provide further info. Thank you.

There are certain tables that won’t save scores at all, BOP is one that I know of. It also doesn’t keep track of billionaire club scores. Cirqus Voltaire is the same with names recorded on the cirqus members honour roll, it resets to default every time the table is exited. Other games that retain info in the ROM like Addams Family don’t record the Thing Flips, they are reset every time the table is exited as well. I don’t know if these issues affect other games that rely on the ROM to store data, but this is kinda frustrating.

Edit: Yep.. there are other games. The same thing applies to the Lost In The Zone score on Twilight Zone.

I posted elsewhere here, since I missed this topic. Just sharing here too that on PS5, when doing the flips challenge on Junk Yard, sometimes when the ball drains, the game ends, even with flips remaining. The number of flips doesn't seem to matter. I've had as many left as around 160 flips left.

I just did the FunHouse flips challenge, and had the same problem here, though I got down to 33 flips left before the game ended.

Right now... Everything is broken on ps5.
shop doesn't contain any items, there is a failure.
Season points stopped working too.
No new tables in the in-game store.
Really a mess

[Klopzi]

Update (2023-04-14): Season points are now being properly added to my season total again. Great!

I also noticed that Funhouse is no longer an event table. I'll take the workaround. 🙂

Thanks very much. Time to get back to the tables...

After today's update, I've noticed two issues (PS5):

1. Points are not being added to season totals. Reward timeline is unchanged after playing multiple events.
2. Events - Funhouse - Flips challenge: I've had multiple games end with flips remaining. Most recent: Frenzy mode was running, Rudy was asleep, I drained the ball and my game ended with 91 flips remaining.

Thanks very much. I'll update this ticket once the issues are resolved.
