Pinball FX 2 - bugs/issues and recommendations

[MuddyWolf]

My first post on this board so hello all

I just wanted to add that I’m experiencing the same sound problem as GipsonLens and Fpala.
I own all the tables and on some it’s worse than others.
On Spiderman it’s hardly noticeable but it’s immediately apparent on Rome.

I hope you’re able to fix it ‘cause I really love that table.
Actually, I love almost all off the tables.
Great, great game you made Zen.
Best pinball video game I’ve ever played.

BTW
Are you aware that the Steam forum of the game is down?
I tried to access the board a few times this afternoon but I got re-directed to the store page.
I can reach the forums of my other games just fine and my last visit to the FX2 forum was last night.
No problems then.

I didn't really pay attention until Fpala mentioned it but there does seem to be something wrong with the audio mix. It sounds as if it's in mono. It's easily noticeable when comparing it to a YouTube video of a console version. The left flipper sound comes from the left speaker and so forth.

More smaller mistakes:

1) Biolab: the instructions of the minigame in which you have to feed or cheer up the creature are in English (German version)
2) Biolab: left tube/ramp not visible, image not shown (already reported by other players)

Do you plan to update and correct the sounds in game (dolby SR or 5.1) ?

I don't play anymore with this steam version: All the sounds in game are in my center speaker (except the sounds of the interface)
In the ps3 version, the sounds are well distributed, musical themes for each table are in the others speakers, this is so much better...

I will not buy on steam any tables until the problem is resolved...

Do you know that there are people who have home cinema in 2013, i am not the only one with on steam, i hope...

Thanks very much to awser me finally, third posts and no response from: Corrects sounds in game are not very important for you, that it is sad...

I've not heard any other reports of this but I'll make sure the team is aware.

Steam achievements: the German version has a Spanish description for the Star Wars table.

Hahaha wow! Thanks for the report!

You can go into your options and make the dmd small and move it to the bottom left of your screen and it will put notifications on the bottom right..

Thanks! I had checked the options for this when I first got the game and didn't see them. They either added this in an update or I am an unobservant knucklehead.

I don't know if this is a bug or the table is supposed to work like that...Boba Fett is extremely fast...especially the lanes left and right of the flippers. You can hardly aim.

It's normal! It's just the way the table is designed. It's the same on the PS3 and Vita versions. I personally rely heavily on nudge passing and bounce (dead flipper) passing to get the ball under control on this table.

The way it returns the ball into the inlane is just fast because it drops it straight down. Just wait until they release Civil War - that one has some ball returns that bypass the inlanes and dumps the ball right on the flippers. That really catches you off guard.

I know what you mean about the speed of BF. At times I have to hold flipper up to let the ball transfer to opposite flipper. If I just shoot at the 80mph speed its usally a risk that leads to a lost ball. For sure one of the more challenging tables, extra balls are rare also. If you dont mind your scores not going to leader boards adjust the slope of the table to slow it down. I tried that before along with adding more balls in the options just so I could play the 80m missions. It helps a ton, but local scores only get posted. cheers

The rumble feedback with my XBOX360 controller is strange, too. Seems as if some parts have been forgotten.

Just had a really annoying bug in epic Quest. I finished the Skeleton 2-ball and found an epic item...all purple but I wasn't in the loot kicker. The epic item was displayed and I had to choose between it and my current item but the ball was still in play and landed in the cave where I had to pick one of the monsters. The DMD was still all purple because I hadn't chosen the item yet...the monsters were all purple but although I didn't select an item nor a monster the "ball lost" message was shown and the game ended.

Is there a way to move and/or rescale the DMD and all the highscore notifications? On some tables the sit right on top of things that I need to see. For example, it's hard to hit the ball with the top left flipper on Ghost Rider because I don't see the ball until it is already on the flipper as it is covered by the DMD and notifications. Of course, the best solution for me would be to able to place them on my second monitor. For now it would be cool if the notifications were small and on the bottom of the screen. I could look at them when I wanted to. The DMD needs to move because it is cut off on my screen (running off the left side in portrait mode).

Not yet. I turned challenges off so no more overlays that overlap the upper left flipper in Ghost Rider.
