    Yup, same problem here. Locks the device and finds the app to be reset after unlocking.

    I emailed them and there will be an update at the end of the month to fix the issue. So they know about it an are working to fix.

    The Pinball Arcade for Xbox Live Arcade is releasing on Wednesday, officially, so with any luck that means we get Bride and Medieval for iOS around then. But they didn't exactly give an assurance of that. Just a hope that the new machines would be out for iOS at about the same time. Still, one can hope. LOL.

    Still no update, no new tables. I can´t believe it. Someone told, today 28.3.
    the xbox 360 version would be released and the new tables for ios.
    Nothing happens, so sad!

    Major Nelson himself tweeted on Monday afternoon this week that Pinball Arcade was coming out today but sometime yesterday that tweet dissappeared from his twitter feed, i.e. he deleted it so its a bit of a mistery atm. Farsight have been extremely quiet on the subject. Hopefully it will still come out today. Who knows.

    I'm still loving the app but they said originally 2 or so tables a month, well thats obviously not going to happen. Still a great app but just wish they would add more tables frequently

    I always thought they were a bit ambitious with their plan, trying to release on so many platforms almost at once AND release 2 tables a month. Hopefully things will speed up now the ios/android versions are out and the 360/ps3/psvita versions have been submitted.

    Yeah i must admit i didnt believe the 2 tables a month thing, loved the sound of it as this app would have a lot of tables in the future. But 2 every 2 months would be okay, just hate it when youre hit by a wall of silence by the dev

    On Facebook they reported that the new machine DLC will be submitted this week, but then it has to go through the approval process, so they are estimating 2 weeks:

    If it makes anyone feel any better, the XBLA version of Pinball Arcade has been delayed a week. It doesn't, though. I wanted the XBLA version today. :( Oh well.

    They have also confirmed that the ios update to be submitted this week has been optimised for the new ipad and the 4s, with higher polygon count and higher rez textures. Can't wait.

    Would be nice if they could bump the texture quality up on the iPad 2 as well. Oh well. Also I really hope they fixed the problems in RBION with the ball getting lost and it messing things up. Did they make any mention of those kinds of fixes?

    Those are very good news! :D THANKS!

    Same here.

    Must be a good feeling for the employee(s) in Apple's Apps Approval Department being the only one(s) in the world (besides devs) with new table(s) for two weeks. :rolleyes: A triple A feeling.

    Two weeks? I've never heard that a submitted game takes two weeks to reach the appstore.

    Even if they do want to try and keep up a two month release schedule, I wouldn't ever have expected that to start happening until the game is finished releasing on all platforms. Sometimes its wise to temper expectations with a healthy dose of reality...

    Yep! A month ago here on this thread I predicted they wouldn't come through with their 'ambitious' promise of 2 tables a month. Actually, when they first stated that, I was thinking, 'no way, that's not gonna happen'. Well, on the positive side, there's almost two weeks left and they could still come through with 2 more tables, and that would equal 1 a month, which aint too shabby. Would really like to see the devs actively clean up the bugs in their existing tables, though. Then they could move on and we can be happier campers! :)
