Pinball FX2 on Xbox One FAQ

[BarbieBobomb]

I've been having problems with the achievement Pathfinder-25G. This achievement has popped up twice during gameplay. When I tab over to the achievements column it shows I haven't unlocked it. I've unlocked other achievements on this table like normal. Is this one achievement glitched? I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the whole game and table. Any info on this subject would be appreciated.

Does it add to your gamerscore or does it not unlock at all? Some people have reported that achievements take a while to fully unlock - let me know if you are still having issues.

So what do we do if we had to buy the core set but had already owned it on 360. Talked to MS support already and they said to take it up with you. Wouldn't even offer a credit to buy tables I had never owned.

We can't give refunds as we do not have access to player transaction info, you'll have to request the refund from MS, sorry.

Oh, so before I buy anything online I should be required to search the internet for faqs to make sure the company is not misleading me in any way? No, Zen SHOULD HAVE posted a warning on the page you buy the product off of. It would be up front, and direct. I assumed everything was good with crossbuy on the system after the major complaints last July. I was wrong. I've been a major support of Zen over the year with rebuying the same tables on various platforms since the original Pinball FX but this makes me question even buying on the PS3 anymore. They knew that the crossbuy thing was a major issue before and they should have known to post a warning on the page where you actually buy the table, and not hidden in a faq in their forums. You can defend them misleading people all you want, but that still doesn't change the fact that most of the gaming population does not search out forums to find a faq before they buy every little thing. This is especially true with something that cost $3. And again it is not about the price, its about the fact that they were not upfront with it on the page I bought the table on. You also notice the lack of responses from Zen themselves to forum comments about this? They were all over things a month ago when the crossbuy thing first hit.

Sorry - I was traveling to a convention and didn't get time to respond until now. We originally thought that because we were able to make legacy tables transferable, that new releases would not be any different. We did not know until just before release that this would not be the case, but as I said in the FAQ post at the top of this thread, it is something we are working with Microsoft on. Working on a brand new platform and making content transferable is no easy task, but we are really pushing to get this the way it should be.

Unfortunately I don't have anything listed as ready to install. One thing I forgot to mention that my gamertag that is linked to Pinball FX2 on the Xbox 360 and Xbox One is ozbundyboy

Any update on the core tables problem?

Is there any news on the core tables unlocking for those who an bought on the 360 and waiting for the tables to transfer to the xb1?

I've just checked again but still won't transfer free. I also checked achievements on xb1 to see if they show I had the tables. They show an achievement for all tables I bought, so it's recognised that I had the game on the xb1 achievements list, but won't transfer. I've tried pretty much each day all the suggestions in this post.

They'll let us know when it's available. It will probably also appear in the game's main menu.

. . .

I'm one of the many people disappointed with the fact that certain tables aren't crossbuy enabled, and it's not mentioned anywhere else but here that fact. Before I'm told "You should've read the FAQ!" . . . well, no.

See, I went off the press release from awhile back to all the major gaming sites that said "Don't be angry at us anymore! The tables will be crossbuy on Xbox One! Hooray!". So, when I went to import my previously bought tables and it worked, I said "Sweet!". Then I purchased the Walking Dead on my 360 (so that I could play it on both consoles) . . . and no import. So, I searched for a solution, and find this thread.

Seriously disappointing. It may only be $2.99, but that was my $2.99. I followed the directions as given from the console, expecting a crossbuy. And instead got nada.

So . . . how do I go about getting a code for the Xbox One version? Or am I just out of luck for however long while it's figured out? And if that's the case, when is a press release going out to advise everyone to avoid making purchases that were marketed as "crossbuy", but aren't in actuality?

Pinball FX2 on Xbox One FAQ

There is only one table that is not crossbuy, The Walking Dead, and if the developer's own blog and forums are not a reliable enough source of information for the latest updates, then I don't know what is.

Due to the niche nature of pinball, I highly doubt that the big gaming news sites see it as being in their best interests to report on every little happening within the world of Pinball FX2, just the big stuff, such as crossbuy, and new table announcements.

As for the $2.99 issue, one solution perhaps might be to get a refund from Microsoft, and put it back on the Xbox One version of the table?

I do agree that the crossbuy for twd makes no sense as to why its not working. Its the newest table announced after the crossbuy was announced as working. I do think it was a bit deceptive if not unclear that it wouldn't be included in this crossbuy. Nowhere does it mention on the 360 marketplace that this would not be compatible. Nowhere are they putting out a press release telling x1 owners that the 360 twd doesn't work in it. Anything mentioning that is buried in the sites faq. I'm pretty sure alot of people bought the 360 version expecting rightly so to be able to crossbuy it.

My guess is they are hoping for customers to find out when its too late that it doesn't crossbuy and customers go oops! only to point to the faq and go see you should have read the fine print. My impression is that they are trying to play off customers ignorance or will try to stretch this out as much as possible under the guise of working on it. At least thats the impression I'm getting off of it as a vibe. Hope thats really not the case as that is pretty sh---y thing to do

Its a new board. Nothing is being imported its standalone x1 table. Conversion already done. Just link it to purchase history. Why do i feel like we are being blown alot of hot air?

Hi there,

I had a question, the Marvel pack (blade, wolverine etc) wasnt released at launch, but I have seen people who played it in the last couple of weeks (on trueachievements.com).

Is the marvel core collection available or is it still not available? I cant find it in the xbox live store.

Thanks,
Martijn.

They'll let us know when it's available. It will probably also appear in the game's main menu.

I know they will let us know, I was trying to get some information on when we can expect it.

What do the prices say on the marketplace? They should be listed as free for you, if not, let me know.

Is there any news on the core tables unlocking for those who an bought on the 360 and waiting for the tables to transfer to the xb1?

Not yet - sorry for the delay!
