I'll still be following the Visual Pinball side of things. I also went into Steam, into each store page for the other pinball simulations, and told Steam to Ignore so that they're not being considered for recommendations based on my play patterns. The Zaccaria thing put me over the edge, even with being a completely separate publisher yes, they probably have literally cost someone else a customer in the long term, as well as themselves. I was on the fence they're changing to Unreal Engine this year, making a new version for that just called Pinball FX, it's going to be exclusive to the Epic Games Store for a year, and on top of it I'd have to rebuy all the DLC to get it with their new physics. I've pretty much decided to not buy the last DLC pack for Pinball FX3, which was going to be a package of Star Wars tables. I really wanted to have the machine be as legitimate as possible that's incredibly difficult when it's being made clear by at least one publisher that what I have set up is NOT in their intended market. Yeah, that's pretty much the thing if the gray market stuff like Visual Pinball is now presenting a fraction of the friction, then that's where I'm going to be. No one needs any added stress after the last year, so if their handling of things is going to turn your hobby into another aggravation, good riddance. I'm probably going to add "must be out a year, have cabinet support, not break cabinet support at all" to my criteria list for commercial pinball simulation going forward.
ZACCARIA PINBALL ASK HOMEWORK SOFTWARE
I completely uninstalled the software from the cabinet, from my desktop, and even the version (that I paid for DLC separately) from my phone. I changed my review to "not recommended" and made edits to point out why. I will not be buying their DLC going forward. I have not, and will not buy the table that was in the mode breaking update. If they did not actually price the feature into the pricing of the DLC, that's on them and not on me. This is a feature that I expected that I was paying to have when I was buying DLC. This is a feature that's been present in the software since August of 2017. This was posted by their social media guy to the Discord channel. Do I want to subscribe to at least a half dozen of those for software I regularly use, just to get official support that should be provided via the service on which I actually purchased? No, and I should not be expected to.Īnd today? I found out through the grapevine that they consider those of us asking for cabinet mode to be fixed to be asking for something for free. Do I have a Discord account? Yes, I do, as Black Aeronaut can attest. Now, as awful as I've heard the forum tools on Steam are, that's not good. Basically, if you want regularly monitored support threads, you have to subscribe to their Discord server. The third problem is that they are not communicating reliably on Steam. OK, fine, I can be patient and merely remove stuff from the menus until it's fixed. The second problem is that they decided that the fix could wait for the next table to be released. I won't play it single screen that way, that's not the way I want to run the cabinet. Realize that I only play virtual pinball simulations on my home-built cabinet. Everything but the freebie pack-in table started to just crash to desktop, 100% of the time, unless the software was set to use a single screen.
ZACCARIA PINBALL ASK HOMEWORK UPDATE
Unfortunately, that update broke the multiple screen support that enabled full Cabinet Mode. So, February 24th, one of the commercial pinball simulations I was running on Radiant Silverball, Zaccaria Pinball, had an update pushed for a new table. And today, I've achieved a level of livid that I'm not used to getting to.
