Bug report megathread

[Akos]

Hi everyone,

this a centralized bug report thread, please submit them here in the future.

Edit:(thanks ragefifty50 for the suggestion!)

Please include the following:

1.) bugs inside the tables themselves:

- which table were you playing
- what game you were playing (Classic, Challenges, Tournament, Matchup etc)
- 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, collection screen, at startup)
- what happened
- pc specs
- any error text, if available



Thanks!

[Matt Beeching]

I'm having the "sticking flippers" issue with my controller that's been brought up a few times, but none of the threads I've found have provided me with a solution that works.

I have used the Steam controller mapping thingy and set it up to the Zen official thingy. I have also set my NVIDIA settings to "max pre-rendered frames: 1". Both things have been suggested but neither have worked for me.

It happens seemingly at random, on any table. It doesn't matter if I'm online or off. I'm using a Windows 10 machine with an Intel i7 processor, an NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super GPU, and I'm using a Logitech F710 controller.

Does anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks. Love the game other than this annoying bug.

Never used an F710 but it supports XInput and DirectInput, I would try:
Xinput + Steam Input: Disabled
DirectInput + Steam Input: Enabled

FX3 has native support for XInput so it shouldn't need Steam Input translations, you can enable / disable that feature in FX3 > Properties.

You could also try disabling analog triggers in FX3's control menu, the default control scheme accepts inputs from shoulder triggers and buttons. If that resolves the issue there could be unintended inputs on those triggers.

Thank you kindly for the prompt reply! I will try your suggestions, but I'm afraid I'm kind of a geezer and not particularly tech-savvy. When you say I can enable/disable the feature in "FX3 > Properties", are you referring to something I should do in Steam or in Windows? Pardon my ignorance.

Right click Pinball FX3 in your Steam Library and select Properties. Select Controller and you should find this override for Steam Input. Default / Enable / Disable.

According to the F710 manual the slide switch should be set to X(1) to enable Xinput mode.

The in-game controls default to: LT-RT-LB-RB. I would try setting that to just LB-RB or LT-RT as halving the inputs could help narrow down the issue.

There are still high FPS issues with the game.

On Noir, the top left flipper retracts when multiball starts. See https://youtu.be/EbN3GWhbBLA

I think I have reported this exact bug a long time ago, at least experienced it, but it's disappointing that it still exists.

Noir is a PFX table: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2328760/discussions/
Your video is currently set to private but pretty certain the upper flipper retraction is intentional.

Thanks, I put this into the wrong place :(
Nevertheless, I have updated the link visibility. I have seen similar glitches before, and in case of this table, there is a ramp blinking, which is accessible from that flipper only.

I tried your suggestions and everything seemed fine for a while but unfortunately the flippers are sticking again.

steam deck screen size issue

Any further details? FX3 defaults to 1920x1080 (16:9).
Have you tried a resolution with 16:10 aspect ratio like the Deck display?

- 1280x800 (native)
- 1440x900
- 1680x1050
- 1920x1200

I'm getting constant crashes now with some tables, Safecracker is one, Jurassic Park another.

FX3 has likely defaulted to Intel Graphics which will crash. You just need to override the GPU choice in either Windows or the Nvidia Control Panel.

Option 1: Type 'Graphics Settings' into the Windows search bar.
Add Pinball FX3 as a Desktop app and in options select the Nvidia / High Performance GPU.

Option 2: Open Nvidia Control Panel and Manage 3D Settings.
Add Pinball FX3 and select Nvidia / High Performance as the preferred Graphics Processor.
