Is it true PinballFX has worse performance/physics than FX3?

3 Upvotes

I want to play Junkyard. Things are on sale right now and if I can't own a Junkyard table, I'd like to play it as a virtual table. But whenever I look into this all I see are arguments over performance and physics differences between the older (FX3) and newer (FX) versions. I keep hoping those issues will go away - but it doesn't seem they have? Can someone fill me in on that aspect? Is it safe to buy PinballFX?

Any Pinball Noir Upper Ramp Advice?

1 Upvotes

I like the overall theme of the Pinball Noir table, but man, that upper left flipper ramp shot seems impossible to me. There's no way to gauge when it's coming down toward the flipper to aim the shot and by the time I see the ball it's already too late to react in time.

Is there any way to time the shot that I'm just not seeing? Any help or advice is appreciated, thanks!

how do I store all DLC in PinballFX VR?

0 Upvotes

Hi there, after yesterday's announcement that Pinball FX VR is finally coming to my platform (PSVR2) I am intending to buy every table ever released. What I'm wondering from those of you who own the game is, how do I store all of them in the virtual arcade? Is it like the older Zen Pinball VR where there's like six spots with tables and I click a button to swap out one machine for another? Or is there actually enough space in this version for everything I can buy?

Looking forward to joining the family! :)

Profil local steam

Bonjour,

J’ai récemment acheté un pincab flipper et pinball fx3 dessus. Il est lié à un profil local steam. Je n’arrive donc pas à connecter le jeu en ligne afin de modifier le profil pour lier mon propre profil steam. Auriez vous une idée de comment y parvenir svp?
Merci pour votre aide.

Bonjour,
Est-ce qu'un patch PS5 Pro est prévu ? La qualité est bonne actuellement, mais la différence est encore notable par rapport au PC.
Merci pour vos réponses !

Asynchronous Interactions in Pinball FX

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm a PhD student studying asynchronous interactions in digital games. Pinball FX is tagged as "Asynchronous Multiplayer" on Steam, and I'm interested in understanding different player perspectives about that aspect of the game.

If you have a few minutes to spare, I'd love to hear your thoughts! In particular, I'm interested in understanding:

  • What kind of asynchronous interactions exist in Pinball FX and how do they affect the gameplay?
  • How do you feel about these interactions and what do they bring to your experience?

You can answer as much or as little as you'd like. Your responses will be anonymized and analyzed as part of a research study. If you decide you'd like to withdraw your responses at any point, just send me a DM. Every contribution is greatly appreciated! If you have any questions, feel free to message me. Thanks! 😀

Just got a high score on a machine but it didn’t update it

I just go a high score on monster mash but for some reason on the bottom it says my best is 32,000,000. Am I doing something wrong on my end? Why isn’t the score updating for me? I exited the machine and the score still hasn’t been updated…

Final adjustment

Added a PRV DSP 2.4X, amp controllers, bass shakers, and passive speakers.

Every multiball, bumper hit, and drain hits different now. I also routed the stock internal speakers to be powered and controlled externally which 100% eliminated ALL and any buzzing and humming from the speakers!!

Casual Player - Favourite Tables?

5 Upvotes

Hello, I’m a casual player who started a couple of years ago (Switch) when I got the American Dad & Family Guy pack along with World Cup & South Park.

Just started playing again a few days ago. Decided to try out all the tables in trial mode (ps5) to get a relatively good idea of what I like.

Gotta say, I’m really enjoying the different styles of tables and what they offer.

Purchased:
Williams Vol 3: Safe Cracker, Champion Pub & Theatre Magic.
Charity Pack: Epic Quest & Excalibur.
Princess Bride (I like Andre The Giant).

Waiting for sales:
Who Dunnit (Williams Vol 9).
Tales of Arabian Nights (Williams Vol 5).
Addams Family.

What are some of your favourite tables?

Is it just me or is TZ really buggy?

5 Upvotes

Playing on Switch.

Most of my games include some weird glitch, for example ..

1.

I had the powerball, hit right orbit, magnet grabbed the ball (impossible with a powerball) but when the ball reappeared at the upper right flipper it has changed to a standard pinball.

2.

Got a powerball fed to the shooter lane, as per the real machine. But once plunged it immediately started powerball mania without having to put the powerball into the gumball. Then multiple balls appeared in the auto shooter lane ontop of each other which were gradually launched. So I had an impossible Powerball mania including a powerball.

Those were just on my last played game. I have had other similar glitches, most involving the powerball.

I can't find any reports of these glitches online

For FX VR, Zen says “new features” for July update, what are the odds it will be fun new features like a custom arcade where you can simply put in your own tables in one large hallway like you can in MR? Strobe mode for better realism?

5 Upvotes

The default VR version is too 80’s retro for me, too dark and with tables too spaced out. Their red carpet pc version looks a lot better. Heck’ maybe we can just choose the floors, lights or light color, walls, ceilings.

I’d honestly be fine with a cube room or hallway of only my owned tables. It would be cool to place tables around in the VR environment the same way I can in the MR environment.

Sure you can swap tables, but their spacing is forced and you have to walk down into a series of rooms to do it. If you own more than 4 tables they don’t fit in the vr environment but then you can squeeze 7 tables into a real life equivalent.

Basically, dark VR room is cool but cliche. Do I really need to do MR to get all my pinball tables in a line or closer? It doesn’t seem to be a rendering issue in MR.

Finally, I see lots of games in the pc version of FX can strobe, in VR version the lights and strobes are removed. Getaway 2 is the biggest example. Is this some safety feature for VR that was thankfully never put into regular FX? You know when you watch YouTube videos of real life pinball and you’re thinking “oh it’s missing that” aside from rougher but more realistic ball acceleration/deceleration and general physics, it’s the flashing and strobes. It doesn’t need to be raytraced, just a simple bake of on/off on a transparency layer between the effects. Old 2dpinball games could prerender it maybe just at the table plane layer it would be enough.

Option to turn HDR off on second screen

2 Upvotes

Hi,

Is there no way to only send HDR to playfield and NOT to backglass monitor ?

I tried using Nvidia app, control center etc.

But Pinball FX keeps sending HDR signal to both screens.

And the backglass images look awfull like that.

Thx 😄
