BUG REPORT MEGATHREAD

[Akos]

Thanks, RodRov for the reminder!

Feel free to use this topic for table bugs or things you encounter.

1.) bugs inside the tables themselves:

- which table were you playing
- what game mode you were playing (etc.: Classic, 1 Ball Challenge, Tournament)
- what mode was running (multiball, main mode, minigame etc)
- what happened

2.) Bugs in the game/interface:

- where did it happen (in options, game mode, my tables screen, at startup)
- what happened
- pc specs
- any error text, if available

Thank you!

I can't buy coins for some reason. I try to proceed checkout (with a 220 coin pack in my cart), and a steam error page loads instead.

I submitted a ticket, including screenshots.

Update: I could purchase coins after I enabled steam overlay. I enabled overlay and clicked on 220 coins through the in-game shop. The steam overlay allowed the steam browser to open and then I only had the option to add steam funds instead of paying directly with my card. Anyway, now I can finally get a stinking pinball pass. Resolved.

After setting up my DMD and backglass on 2 monitor cabinet, leaving and reopening the game keeps cabinet mode active, however the backglass is not showing up on the menu or when loading tables, the DMD is still in the correct position as set but no backglass.

"Cannot view protected content" W10 error upon trying to launch PFX, requiring hard exit. Sadly uninstalled.

As mentioned in other topic, almost nothing is synced between devices, no collectibles, no progress, bo badges, just scores, but partially - you dont see a trophy from the tournament

This is a general use bug. When running the game in WINDOWED, using ALT+ENTER to switch to Fullscreen is not working.

My system is configured with 2 displays -- my primary display is 3440x1440 set for Landscape mode and my secondary display is 2560x1440 set for Portrait mode. I use this configuration to play FX3 all the time, I would launch the game in WINDOWED, drag it over to my portrait monitor, hit ALT+ENTER and enjoy full screen vertical pinball. Loved it.

With PinballFX, when trying the same thing, ALT+ENTER does nothing. I can double-click PinballFX to make it fit the window with the correct aspect ratio -- but I've still got the Windows taskbar on screen.

Also when switching tables, PinballFX will forget it's resolution and default to Landscape mode.

Finally, when setting PinballFX to fullscreen on a Portrait display -- it squishes landscape mode into the portrait mode window, making everything have a funky skinny incorrect aspect ratio.

Please make it work like FX3. Thanks.

Are you running in cabinet mode? If so you have to set both screens in windows to landscape mode and turn your pkayfield to 270 degrees in the games options menu. You also need to set the game for borderless fullscreen.
Also, unlike pinball fx3, you have to keep DOT matrix turned on. Well it's under dot matrix size, you can choose disabled, small medium large. Pick any size, it will not matter as the size will be what you set in the csbinet mode dot matrix options section. Hope that helps you alittle .
You def do NOT want anything in portrait mode, it will throw off setting up your backglass and dmd.

Did you download the backglass images and put them into the correct folder?

I made a video showing how to setup cabinet mode and in the video description I have a link to all the backglass images for you to download.

Playing Fish Tales in Portrait mode, 1080x1920. High graphics settings, 120fps cap raytracing off.

16GB Ram, RTX 3060 12GB, ryzen 5 3600

Ball drained down middle, right as next ball loaded to plunger, controller vibrated for 10 seconds and game crashed to desktop. Couldn't tell you why, is there a crash log anywhere I can upload? Not sure where the game stores user files yet.

I open the game from the desktop app and get an error message.

Having a issue with Fish Tales where everytime i shoot the ball up through the left spinner into the video mode scoop it gets stuck and won't come down unless i TILT the machine.

After deactivating cabinet mode and searching in the events tab I encountered a strange bug:
Premium events were all greyed out (free 24h pinball pass still active and I own at least one current premium event table) and only free ones available. One of the free event tables was fish tales and after the second round the game crashed at the game over screen (fish tales shouldn't be in rotation right now).

Table:Crypt of necrodancer
Mode : Tournement (Flip challenge specifically)
From what I can tell the game will never end because I'm out of flips but the ball keeps relaunching and I assume its because I still have hearts (Which arent going down as the ball goes down.)

Installed the game at launch, did not play the tutorial or do anything pinball pass related, bought some tables, then bought all remaining tables, entered the game and got the message "Pinball pass expired"...awesome message after buying everything. :)

In the epic games version, early on, i experienced some flipper lag when hitting the button when the ball is at the very end of the flipper, and travelling at a higher speed. I thought i was imagining it, but I'm definately experiencing the same thing in this version.

If the ball is travelling rather slowly, nothing is affected, but if it's moving faster and i try to flip while the ball is at the end of the flipper, it will delay the flip a very long time, resulting in an exasperated miss. Not sure what's causing it. I have a pretty standard system.

Ryzen 5 3600 at stock speeds
16GB DDR4 3200
nVidia RTX 3060 12GB.

Game runs at a locked 120fps on high settings. This lag is infuriating because i know i can't try shots at end of flipper if ball is travelling at any speed above a crawl.

A good example i Just witnessed, is on the Rogue One table, when plunging and trying to hit the shot off the left upper flipper, if i let the ball roll to end of flipper then hit button, it feels like a full second before the flipper activates. If i hit the button early, it's an instant response.

Edit: Testing at 60fps lock, seems to not happen, but i'll play a few more hours.

[Leander.quest]

In FX3, you can hold flippers, press pause, do something in the menu while holding both flippers, go back to the game...the countdown appears and you continue with both flippers being held...this no longer works...both flippers are automatically released when entering the game again.

-Bride Of Pinbot
-Classic
-Metamorphosis

It seems the big light wheel in the middle got not triggered.
I locked in the two balls at the last human face, but nothing happened.
(i am still in this game, if this helps about stats/logs @ dev. will pause after! )

I found the bug recorded here, 9 months old. :)

(behaviour of the table was exactly the same for me)

Please take a look into devs, thank you!
