Pinball FX3 Developer Update from Mel Kirk

[JaySTeeY]

Good luck with the launch! Looking forward to both FX3 and the new tables!

Good news! Hope there won't be any issues forthe purchase that came from Xbox 360.

Are you guys going to keep selling the tables on Pinball FX2, will it delisted? Like you guys did for FX 1? If it will not be delisted, will you guys still be doing sale?

Xbox 360 > Xbox One should be smooth, but we will of course be checking all the different variations of entitlements available (remember when we made Paranormal free for a week - we need a special entitlement for that!).

Xbox 360 will still have tables for sale and will not be de-listed. However, new tables, such as the new Universal Classics Pack will not be coming to Xbox 360. We need to focus on these newer consoles at this point.

Clarification

Ive asked this already, but how will we be notified as to when pinball fx3 will be available for ps4? Will we get a notification of an update like in most games assuming of course you already have zen pinball 2 or will we just have to keep searching the psn store?

None of this went smoothly for the XBOX One

Not a single table will import. It gets stuck in an endless store loop. This is a blatant case of developers not having a clue how Microsoft licensing works.

Says 109 Tables imported, but there is absolutely NO WAY to download them. Not in the game, not outside the game, not in the manage game... nothing.

Will not spend a dime on ( 68 ) tables I already have purchased before. Game basically says I own 95% of all tables ( it says 109 tables ), but it has no clue how to handle the DRM from Microsoft as ALL links are going to the XBOX One ( microsoft store ) page for DL, rather than where it SHOULD be looking, which is both the old XBOX 360 and 2010-2014 game purchase databanks. Microsoft splits their database into Xbox One/Windows LPA, and there is a legacy base for titles purchased before they combined the two. Ever noticed the difference in game versions on the MS store? the default is to load the new XBOX One/Win 10 titles.

Zen has no clue how to handle DRM. Sorry, but sometimes being candid is the best approach. This should be old hat for them as they went through it with FX2.

Just reporting that I downloaded for PS4 today and the import when smoothly. I kept having to go between the game and the PS store as it went and found each of my packs, but overall no complaints at all as far as the smoothness of importing my tables.

I had no issue importing my tables that I originally bought on Xbox 360 to Xbox One and Windows 10.

UPDATE - 36 Hours In

We are aware of a bunch of import problems and are on the case literally around the clock. We expected there would be some level of issue with imports, so we are not surprised here.

Just know we are working to clear the situation.

You will only need to import once, so once this is out of the way, you do not need to worry about it again! What a nice thought.

Please know, we're not trying to be mean, evil developers. Just the opposite! Hope you all see the effort we have made to make this happen.

Thanks for your patience.

Best,
Mel

Were you involved in the dev process or on the email thread with Microsoft that started in April of this year? Do you know of any other dev other than Harmonix who tries to go out of their way to provide THIS level of backwards compatibility service for their players? No, so to be quite candid - you have no idea what you are talking about.

Bravo,
I had no problems importing every table to both Xbox one and Steam so thanks very much and i really appreciate your efforts in allowing free imports as most companies would ask us to pay for them again and you've given them a little spruce up too.
You will never please everyone, some people were born to moan and criticise.

When can i import my tables i bought on Windows 10?

Were these purchased in PFX2 on Win10? If so, please email [email protected] and they will get to you.

If purchased in PFX3 on Win10, these should be available in Xbox One now.

Hmmm, worked fine for me, all of my tables imported. Yes, after clicking import, game went into the store for each individual table download, but it wasn't endless. I just kept hitting back until it was done. Then went into 'manage game' and clicked 'install all'. From there, started playing... <shrugs>
