Season 3 released on Steam

[norbert26]

why only pro season 3 pack? I want to buy normal season 3 pack, the 30 bucks pack, not the 40 bucks pack!!!

i was offered a choice of standard non pro for $29.99 or the pro pack for season 3. start over you accidently skipped the screen.

Mike tell us something about tokens from new UI screens - this little circles with a hole.

We'll announce more about the UI later. In all honesty, I'm not involved in the UI change so I'm not sure the details.

FarSight, you've done a great job on Fish Tales! Thank you.

And with the new updates for 1.21.3 everything looks way better.

More of this quality from now on please

Hopefully we might start to see some updates for the older releases, in order to bring those up to a similar level?

Would like to see the Gorgar flipper pivot fixed and I'm looking forward to the emulation updates for this table, Firepower and Black Knight.

Would also be nice to see animated DMDs on the backglasses for those tables still without them.

Thanks again for the great work on FT.

Lets keep the rest of Season 3 on par with this!

Great job with the dual control flippers. Seems 10% is the sweet spot.

 

[JPelter]

Any word on if the steam friends leaderboard thing coming, Mike? I think you said you'd take a look at it last month and I'm just wondering if it's something that's going to eventually happen or is it just not doable?

 

[infernogott]

I would like to know something about the steam leaderboards, too.

I concur

I had to play with my Xinput emulation settings to get it working and I may still mess with them more to see if I can get the staging a little more controlable. But I'm super happy with the 10% as well. The previous 6% was not working for me at all.

I'd like to know this, too. I'm holding off buying season 2 and 3 packs until there are Steam boards in the game.

- nVidia AA fixed

what was done to fix this? Since this latest update, I've got jaggies everywhere and the game looks better on my android tablet! My laptop has 2 GPX cards in it. Nvidia and Intel. Switch between using Optimus. TPA config tool only shows Intel card.

Worked perfectly before and looked great. Now looks terrible. See my post here : http://digitalpinballfans.com/showthread.php/6840-PC-Version-1-21-3-Bugs?p=123114&viewfull=1#post123114

fixed by using the new Texture filtering options under the graphics tab. Lost the "blooming" now as sharper. Kinda preferred the blooming to be honest .....

Im not computer guy and don't know much about directx and all that stuff but I can see Fish Tales looks much better then other tables. Is it because its using DirectX already or DirectX is totally different thing?

All tables use DX9.
In the future you will be able to select DX11 in the configuration utility. That gives you advanced lighting (if your graphics card supports DX11)

Fish Tales looks like it has much better (higher resolution) images for the textures (the playfield especially) than previous tables. I can read the inserts now!

 

[JavaJack]

looking forward to the emulation updates for this table, Firepower and Black Knight.

Dare we hope? It seems like there's very little emphasis on fixing up past tables. Maybe I will be pleasantly surprised sometime in the future.

good will as very little money in it for FS. It's not like we pay a maintenance contract

 

[Crazy Newt]

Hmmmm....maybe cash-entry tournaments could be introduced? FS could keep a small percentage of the entry fees. I know it is an extemely unlikely event, but it would be cool if there were tournaments that players could join that were similar to online poker sites.

 

[infernogott]

I really doubt that. They would need licenses, check for underage players, etc.

Pinball should be for entertainment only, like the machines say

Pay tournaments are entertaining. ..Aren't they?

Just downloaded 'Fish Tails' via Steam... no 'Whirlwind' in sight and a busted Config App.
