When the game is launched by selecting play via Steam, the game does not respond. A blank window opens with heading (not Responding). Receive the error everytime I attempt to launch The PinballArcade BETA.

Were you able to get it to run at all?

Try deleting your save file. To do that, delete all files in their Pinball Arcade folder inside My Games.

On Win 7 it’s in C:\Users\username\My Games\Pinball Arcade\

It's failing on setting the resolution. If the above doesn't help I'll need to make some changes to the resolution set code.

I checked in the folder suggested, and it does not contain any files, folder is empty. Unable to get the game to run. Game doesn't load, just get black window where game should open. I have used Steam client before, as I have existing game(s) account.

Hi, I just received my E-mail to be a beta tester for Steam. No. 1 i'm not sure my Computer can handle it, but I would love to try. and No. 2 where do you go on Steam to find Add a Game, I have looked everywhere for it so I can put in the Code I have. Also I can't find The Pinball Arcade anywhere, I think I would be better off being a Beta tester for the Ipad 3 then the PC. because i'm always on my Ipad 3, and when I got the Ipad 3 for Christmas I have been asking you guys if I could be a Beta tester. I have found some glitches Emulation with sound and music, also ball flows and words not right on the Cabinet. So to Whomever let me know I would be interested, I'll try PC but if it doesn't work I would like to Beta test Ipad 3, Thank you all.

Lower left hand corner in the steam client you should see, "+ ADD A GAME", click that, then click activate a product on steam and use the key you got.

Well if that is true then I guess I'm out of luck being a PC Beta tester for now! Any suggestions for an awesome AGP Graphics card with 3.0 pixel shader to replace my ATI x850xt Platinum Edition?

I think you're out of luck on that one. You're going to need a full system overhaul.

Sorry I missed the X850 the first time you posted so I didn't realize it was DX9b/Shader Model 2.

If you can find a used card, GeForce 6800 or 7800 both come in AGP.

Found a NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT on Ebay. So in a week or two I should be able to beta test. Thanks Mike

Labeled as "Fixed" as thread creator's video card fell below minimum specs.

I get way more lag at full screen Jeff. Unless I choose to run full screen at 800x600, then no lag but graphics take a huge hit.

Jeff gave it a 2nd try at 1024x768. Play great so far. I had to auto re synch my Analog RGB to get it to work at full screen, and no lag! :)
