ST:TNG is a fun, but frustrating game. Those outlanes are fairly brutal. You can sometimes bump the ball out of there, though, so this will be a game I'm going to have master bumping the machine in PA. In any case I hope we hit that goal.
New update to fix some bugs created an even worse bug. App crash ass soon as I press start to play CV. Do not update. iPhone 4s
I just downloaded the update and played a full game of Circus Voltaire on my 4S. Tried backing in and out of the table, not seeing the issue. Have you tried the usual restart and/or redownload yet?
I tried a restart and reinstall and it still crashes. When it loads back up it starts at funhouse table instead of last table played. I did manage to launch the ball once and as soon as I hit the flipper it crashed. I reinstalled previous to update version for now.
Playing new version... I've played CV and MM, and no crashes, and no bugs so far... and it now remembers your camera/DMD settings. You can also disable the multi-ball camera. That may have been in the last release, but I don't recall seeing it.
I've had nothing but problems since the last update. First, CV would crash every time I tried to start a game (all other tables were fine). I deleted everything and reinstalled the app. Now I have no camera controlls and cannot access the pause menu during play. I am also having a lot of issues where the camera no longer tracks to the ball after certain events (if I activate voice in BoP for instance, it will zoom in and never zoom out again. I am going to reinstall again but I am disappointed. This has been by far my favorite app, but it's unplayable for me currently. I am on a 3GS Edit: The second reinstall did fix all the problems I was having. Still dislike that I've now had to re-download every table many times now, but it *is* my favorite game, so I'll deal with it.
I'm a bit late for all of you that just reinstalled, but there's a way to back up your scores & goals file, which I outlined on this post at Pinball Arcade Fans: http://pinballarcadefans.com/showthread.php/811-Back-up-your-scores-goals Hope that helps people out in the future.
Turning off the multiball camera was in the last version too. Having to redownload the games every time sure is annoying, and it's only going to get worse. Imagine what it will be like when we have, say, 30 machines in the game. Ouch. Hopefully they figure out a way to do this updates without requiring a full game download.
I didn't have to download all tables. CV needed a re-download, but only because it was bugfixed. Unchanged tables like Ripley's and and Bride of Pinbot I could jump right back to without a re-download. So look at downloads as the price you pay to get bug fixes and graphics upgrades.
Same for me, I only had to download 3 or 4 tables, all because of bug fixes which are welcome of course. So when we have 30 tables, the oldest ones will probably be stable, and only the newest might have some tweaks. P.S. Anyone still holding out for better incentives on the Kickstarter, please read the latest update: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1067367405/pinball-arcade-the-twilight-zone/posts/241865 They added a new $20 and $40 tier with more benefits. Please contribute so we can get Star Trek: The Next Generation!!!!!
Great update. Fixed everything for me. Cool to finally be able to play Black Hole again (I have a love/hate relationship to that table and need to beat it). Also Believe It Or Not was running sloppy before the update, now it's fine again. On Kickstarter, I just jumped from 25 to 40 bucks, since appearing in the credits is a cool offer Still, Pinball Arcade is pretty much the only game I've been playing, for weeks now.
Same here, I've been pretty much addicted to it since it came out, hardly play anything else except all the async stuff I have to make my moves on. Funny thing is I had zero interest in pinball before I saw the previews of TPA on touch arcade, and I hadn't even played a real table until 2 weeks ago ( I'm 46! ). Now I can't get enough of pinball, watching all the videos on YouTube etc, and I'm planning on going to the uk pinball party in August, all because of a video game.
Yeah i'm similar, wasnt a huge fan of pinball before, but love Pinball Arcade as i think its great how theyre simulating the real tables i've watched on youtube. I know some purists might have the odd issue with the app but i love it, good amount of tables now By the way Kevlar, make sure you go to the computer show in Manchester in October (retro/modern etc!)
Its http://www.playexpo.net/ Been in Blackpool the last few years but now just moving to behind the Trafford Centre, should be great Tons of pinball machines, retro stuff, new-gen stuff and more.

Welcome to the TA forums. Glad you jumped in for a sec. And yes, keep listening to this thread. There are a bunch of VERY dedicated iOS gamers in here
I guess I'm the 1,980th backer now with a $20 pledge. Thanks farsight! Keeping my fingers crossed for the Adams family, the first pinball table I beat in a bar in San francisco!
