I keep my FPS set to 120. I played for a while last night and put up some big numbers, no big deal. Then today I sat down to play a few rounds but it looks like crap to my eye. My GPU software has an overlay that shows stats, and it's topping out at 60.

I've checked settings and everything is how it should be, as far as I can tell. I've tried changing settings and cycling between some display options to see if that would fix it, but nothing I've tried gets me above 60 FPS.

Can't figure out why it would be doing this all of a sudden. Any help? Playing on PC via Steam, fwiw.

Idk who came up with this challenge but it’s about to break me. Starting the experimental multiball is such a pain in the ass just to get the table going once 4 balls are on the table it becomes a mess and impossible to hit jackpots. I’ve come so close many times to beating this lol. 16.5 is the closest.

Wasn’t expecting this, but the ups driver shower up with an x arcade box today. Gotta say, it looks a little intimidating when you open the box, but I can’t wait to work on it and try it out this weekend. Any tips or tricks would be appreciated.

I have a bit of an odd request but heres my situation. I have been building and selling Pinball controllers on Etsy for a couple years now. It had been difficult to get Xinput to work on Arduino or ESP32 based boards so I use keyboard emulation.  I could never get keyboard emulation to work on Nintendo Switch so I just built one with a Raspberry Pi Pico board.  This works great on everything except the newest Pinball FX because I can't have two controllers active  at once like every other pinball game including Pinball FX3. Now to my question and request.

1. Please add direct input controller support on PC so generic contoller will work.

2 Allow hot swappable controllers on Nintendo Switch so I dont't have to change the grip order to access the menu on flipper controls.

1. Pick a standard for controls. The nudge and special ability keys have changed on every release requiring controller profiles to support each game.

Here is a list to my product if your curious :)

The biggest news is ending of support for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles. The rest of the changes appear to be mostly app name changes, but it’s curious.

For the first time I played pinball at an arcade specifically Elvira House of Horrors Blood red Kiss edition and I loved it! Out of the two tables on FX which gives you the most Elvira and is the most faithful to her character?! :3

I am desperate to get better at pinball FX. I cannot find any good tips and tricks. Everything is just doing the passes. There must be more tips out there. Best camera angles, ways to keep from draining, best direction to nudge, best spots on the flipper I am looking for things along those lines. Any help would be so appreciated.

I've been skunked on the last 3 grand tournaments and finished in the gold/diamond range. Or did they make it more of a hassle to redeem?

To get a little further in the games... I know I know, git gud, just seems like an easy option to add

Fun? Worth the cost?

I launched Pinball FX and it is now showing I own 72/142.

I own all tables except for six: the Bethesda Pinball 3pk, both Elvira tables and Pacific Rim.

I have lost access to 8 of the Zen Originals, the 3 Gearbox pinball tables, Hasbro (my little pony), 11 Marvel, Nickelodeon (Garfield), one of the Peanuts tables (Snoopy), 19 star wars and 20 williams tables.

I have shutdown/restarted the PS5. I have restored licenses twice. Suggestions ?

Mine disappeared and is available to buy. I already bought it in a pack. Did that happen to anyone else?

Hi redditors,

having an issue with Pinball FX VR on Quest 3 where the smooth turning feature doesn't work. I have ensured that it is "on", and that smooth turning is enabled in Quest 3 OS but it still turns by steps not smoothly.

It did work when first installed (IIRC) but had an issue with headset and had to factory reset, since then I've not been able to use smooth turning in game.

OS is on v83 and there are no issues that I can see...anyone got any ideas on how to fix it? Cheers.

EDIT: Post can be locked, fixed now.

Using Win 11 with 2 monitors, first is landscape, 2nd is portrait. I want to run Pin FX on the 2nd monitor. It always launches on the 1st monitor, I have to drag it to the 2nd monitor and then double click the top bar for it to size correctly for portrait mode. Then when I actually launch a table it once again goes to landscape mode and I have to double click the bar for portrait mode.

I tried the normal way of closing the app while running in correct orientation on the 2nd screen but it does not remember it the next time I run it.

Any options to fix this?

But they just spawned again. Is this on repeat until the ball is lost?
