Pinball FX 2 - bugs/issues and recommendations

[GipsonLens]

Also, now that I tried playing some of the old tables, something's changed with the camera. All of the camera views are now too zoomed in when using a portrait orientation. Some of the outer lanes are no longer visible like they used to be. I first noticed this on The Avengers.

I tried playing today and everything's back to normal again. Weird.

I got the bug again where the menus and camera were incorrect in portrait mode. I had to restart my computer to fix it. The only thing that I think was different was that my computer went to sleep.

That's odd.. let me know if it keeps happening!

could we please have the DMD spacing around the edge of the screen reduced or removed completely?
IT seems to be code left over from the Console version that is probably the 15% over scan distance to ensure older tv sets don't clip off the hud etc.
However this isn't needed on the steam version. It would make using the large DMD in portrait mode much better(alot of the tables you can't use a large DMD due to the spacing forcing the DMD over top of parts of the playfield. This would fix that

heres what i mean before and after(rough shop sorry)

Will the table breaking Epic Quest bug be fixed in an upcoming patch?
It's been there for months now.
I've reported it back then and hoped it would be fixed with the new tables patch but no cigar

Please don't forget the old tables.
There are still a lot of fans of those too.

My problem since going to DVI

I recently moved my monitors to a DVI bus. I use Steam to play FX2. I always play fx2 in portrait mode on my main monitor. When I play Star Wars Clone Wars or one of several other tables, the left side of the screen (about 1 1/2 inches) looks likes it's wrapped around from the right side of the screen. It flashes from that to normal during gameplay. I don't know what to do to fix it. Otherwise I love the Pinball FX2 tables etc. best money i've ever spent. Just this thing that seems to be glitchy.

XBox One Controller Issue

I've got a problem with the XBox One Controller I'm using. This has just started recently, and is only happening on some tables (Portal and CastleStorm are the ones I have noticed it on today).

When I pull back the analog stick to launch the ball, the action is as though I hit the "Enter" key on the keyboard, or "X" on the controller. The plunger pulls back quickly to its fullest extent, then slowly creeps forward. Once this has happened I have full analog control. This generally happens each time I try to Launch a ball on a few tables. On other tables this is not a problem. For example I have had no problems with Launch control on the South Park Super Sweet Pinball table after I noticed the action happening today on both CastleStorm and Portal.

This is a minor annoyance on tables where you can measure your plunger pullback, but on others like CastleStorm where it is difficult to tell it's very frustrating.

Paranormal PC bug

I have seen it only on yt's gameplay - when activating cube the soundtrack is not changing like on zen for android and remains like in normal gameplay of table. There is possible, that this bug has been addressed and corrected already.

Portal does not allow me to save my initials

The Portal table does not allow me to enter my initials. It simply shows "save?" and the letters AAA. I cannot enter anything at all except to go ahead and save. Other tables I have to not exhibit this issue.

reflection and look ahead.

I have owned and played all of the FX2 pinball games for a long time now, and always look forward to the new ones that come out.
I have a PinCab, and I am grateful for all the changes and added features you guys have worked on to help the Cab users.

I have a few items to bring up again to keep them up-to-date and fresh.

1.) I have seen a request another mapping of a Fire or enter button. I assume the reason for this is some cab builds have a plunger, and not an enter button, or if they do that button is below a plunger like mine is, and it is hard to reach that to fire and also move right or left during some missions. (just my 2 cents) this option at first I was like yea add it, but cab users can always add or remap a different button to also = that enter, so I would place it as a low priority.

2.) I have seen people request a slightly different view angle for cab users. I also agree that you lose a bit of the cool look of ramps and such in a 3d version with what currently works as a view in a cab. There are plenty of views to choose from, and I know how much work it is to add another view, as you have to do it for each table and it is more work than most know.
(my 2 cents) I think a better view for cab users would be nice, but also low priority, would rather see a feature like starting view save.
So if I want to use view 7, it is saved so the next time I start it remembers that setting.

3.) I have seen some request the ability to add backglass options to add your own picture or video. Again would be a cool feature, but a ton of work to add that feature. (my 2 cents) low priority as this would only benefit cab users.

4.) I would like to see the Street Fighter table added to PC/Steam? I know it is out there so I would hope this would be less work to get it added.

5.) A feature I think would be crazy awesome, add a table that is a Juke Box to read your music folder.

6.) New table ideas. I know you get these tossed out from all directions everyday. I also know it is in your favor that if you get a license to do a table type that the ability to push out 3+ is in your favor for time $ spent. SO here are a few I think would be great.

Lord of the Rings / Hobbit (my top pick) Would love to see a option at the start, to pick the good side (day) or pick a dark side (night)
Batman / Dark knight.
Transformers
A top gun, or original made with fighter plane/helicopter type.
Ninja Turtles
Then the endless amount of tables others requests.
