Pinball FX 2 - bugs/issues and recommendations

[rooter]

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.

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

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.

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)

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.

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.

Hello, MuddyWolf. Welcome! I don't know what's up with the steam forum. I've tried to access it myself, but it's not working.

I reported the invisible left tube twice already. It's so annoying! I can't even play that table because of that!

[BarbieBobomb]

Yep--for some reason the Steam forums are "hidden to users" but I can still see it. Looks like we'll have to call Valve and see what's up. Thanks for the reports!

Is there any plans to put an option into Epic Quest so that the table doesn't level up?
That idea goes against the concept of pinball, the playing field is not level, and I am loathe to even record my high-scores because quite frankly I don't feel that I've earnt it, because most of the work was done on my previous attempts.
Please remove this feature or allow those of us who like tables to be fair to be able to play it normally.
This was really, really, not one of you guys better ideas. And thats putting it politely.

Well obviously people are split on this. I've heard a lot of people say they love the leveling concept and want to see it more. I do like the table a lot -- it's a unique and fun concept -- but I agree the scores are skewed based on how much you've played and I wouldn't want to see it used across the board, either (which I doubt they are planning).

I don't know how they would be able to remove or change anything on it at this point, either. What would you do, lock you to a certain level or something? What level? 1? You're not going to get any high scores then. 100? People would say that wasn't fair. And what equipment would you have? That affects the monster fights.

Just play the table for fun and don't worry about the score so much (there are tons of other tables for that). I wouldn't expect it to be a tournament table or anything.

[LoadedWeapon]

Yep I would say just play and have fun.. Epic Quest is more of an arcade game than pinball and I myself love the concept.. I really don't care about high scores I just play it when I can and enjoy them all very much..

[LeanderL]

Epic Quest is great the way it is. It resembles an RPG with level ups and disabling XP would rip the heart out as the table is all about character progression, fighting monsters and loot. There are many other tables without the level ups so there's a fun table for all personal likes and dislikes.

[tizerist]

Ok I'm sorrY if that sounded a bit blunt, I agree, it is awesome. Yeah I dunno, perhaps an option to lock at a level. It would take a lifetime to reach the real goodies, but....the playing field would be more fairly balanced.
The whole concept of 'those three balls' is a bit skewed otherwise.

[ericleroi]

I would like an option to improve the resolution of the reflections as they seem a little blocky; this may have been mentioned elsewhere before..

I would also appreciate more camera angles and the ability to move the DMD to a second display.

Have all the tables on the 360 and appear to have bought them all again for Steam. Looking forward to more tables soon ...

For those with bloom issues, SweetFX will sort this out for you
