![]() ![]() I'm sure that will change as Windows 8 gets closer to general availability at the end of the month. ![]() You can't get all 30 that you can get on the Xbox, just Sorcerer's Lair, Mars, Epic Quest, and four Marvel ones (Avengers, World War Hulk, Fear Itself, and the Infinity Gauntlet). ![]() Not really an issue, but something else to keep in mind, is that there's only a limited number of tables on the Windows 8 version right now. It only lets you alternate between a few selections for the controls. The only problem for cabinets is that you can't fully customize the buttons being used. I turn off the floating score junk but left the ball trails on for now.Įdited by epthegeek, 02 October 2012 - 06:23 PM. One of the zen guys said on their forums that it's windows 8 only for the foreseeable future - as it's a metro app. I had win7 on my cabinet before this, and was thinking about redoing it as XP to try to boost VP performance, so I figured since I was going to rebuild it anyway, I'd try this win 8 thing. You put windows into rotated portrait mode before you start the game. What O/S does your cab normally run and does the release preview dual-boot or something?Įdited by settingsons, 02 October 2012 - 05:38 PM. I turn off the arcade effects like the ball trailing which I can't tolerate - I can imagine that playing it FS in a cabinet with force feedback and a second screen would still be an enjoyable experience so I look forward to an XP version if they release one. So does the PFX2 software actually have a portrait mode in the options, or do you achieve it by rotating the windows display settings?Īlso for me PFX2 doesn't give me the true pinball experience like I get with VP and PA, however since the kids got an XBox depending on my mood I do enjoy playing some of these fantasy tables which I am too lazy to get up off the sofa. Nice one epthegeek! Thanks for the photo as well- I hadn't heard of this at all and I am surprised no-one including the Zen reps have mentioned it before. The only bummer about it is navigating the menus you have to use the mouse/keyboard. Still plays like PFX2 of course *cough* but it works fine. The portrait mode PFX2 works just fine on a cabinet. Managed to wrangle up a RTM version of Win8 from a developer friend of mine. I forgot that Windows 8 is tablet friendly so that makes sense. Yeah, if you rotate the screen to portrait mode, which I do on my tablet running Windows 8, then it does show a fullscreen layout which would probably work well on a cabinet. Originally posted by J - DND plz folks __<Īll Pinball FX 2 fans that are currently suffering with this issue. There *IS* a workaround, but it's convoluted and involves making another Steam account and downloading it on that. It didn't start downloading anything, and seemed to be frozen, so I made the stupid mistake of completely uninstalling the game and tried reinstalling it.Īfter Steam said it was done, I tried running it, and it said "Missing Executable", so I checked the games install folder, and sure enough, all that was there were the usual DirectX redists and a single file with an extension that Windows didn't recognize. I verified the cache, and it said there were 138 files missing, and that they were to be downloaded right away. I'm having the same issue dude, you're not alone in this.įor me, I had the game installed and all was well, but I own a lot of packs, and none of them were installed, so after restarting steam, it started downloading some data, but it stopped at 6%, 98MB, and stayed there. ![]()
