DEAD If youre addicted to pinball like me, you WANT the new humble bundle!!!

For those wondering, this is for Pinball FX2 tables/packs on steam for windows. It's $1 to get six tables, and $5 for 10. (for $5 you actually end up with 14 tables as some packs have more than one table)

Totally worth it in my opinion if you like pinball.

$1:
Super League Zen Studios F.C. (Football / Soccer)
Guardians of the Galaxy
Star Wars Balance of the Force Pack
Iron and Steel Pack
Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron
Venom

$5 (all the above plus):
The Walking Dead
Civil War
Ant-Man
Star Wars Rebels
 
Separate Steam keys for each pack.
Star Wars Balance of the Force Pack was in a previous bundle (and Civil Wars?).

Check out Pinball Arcade, also on Steam, for digital versions of real arcade pinball machines. I believe the base game was free, and included the Tales of the Arabian nights game. Keep hoping to see a sale on this one that goes below 50% off.
 
I grabbed them. Now that they work 'better' on virtual cabinets I'll be adding. REALLY wish they didn't need Steam though.
 
I can't figure out how to enter the keys... any help?!


Never mind... figured it out.

I bought this, but found the latency using a keyboard (win10) is ridiculous. Do I have to buy an xbox 360 wired controller?

I have windows 10 and have no problems with my keyboard, or wireless 360 or xbone controller, something with your system maybe?

You might see an improvement going to borderless window mode instead of full screen or vice versa. Also I use RadeonPro to set flip queue to zero on my AMD card with this game. I think for Nvidia the option is called "max frames to render ahead." Setting those should reduce input lag.

It has nothing to do with his system. Maybe your perception is too slow to notice the lag? I've tried this over the past few years with three different computers. ALL of them had input lag. I've tried it with wired and wireless keyboards as well as a wired xbox controller (well, a 3rd party madcatz one). This latest one is with a wireless steam controller. There has always been a very slight delay from the point I hit the button or key to when the flipper flips.

Rather than suggest it's his system, maybe a simple google search would reveal that this has been a well known problem for years with this game.

Other than the lag, it's a decent pinball game. Decent graphics and sound. Table design and rules are a little weak for some of them but it's still fun.

Also worth mentioning is that the lag is common for several of the popular pinball games. It's not limited to FX2. It's just that pinball and fighting games (which I personally don't like) are two of the most sensitive to input lag.

So, youre saying Im slow huh? Making fun of a persons mental limitations isnt very "PC" now a days buddy 😛
And I didnt think to check on Google, Im too slow to think that fast to look :O
You also didnt have to yell at me, I did say, maybe 🙁
Geez
Now that you said Im slow, I suck at the game...
I hate you
I have feelings you know
Does his system have feelings?
No
But I do
Im sad

If you're continually getting input lag it might very well be your display:

On my setup and settings bumper strikes feel pretty much instantaneous to me.

Edit: Just to put a number to it, at 60hz you're talking 16.67ms between each fame. If you're rendering the default three frames ahead that's a 50ms delay, which probably starts to become perceptible, especially if your display then adds to it.

Any idea of how much lag we are talking about? Personally I've played this pinball series of games and noticed a huge difference in lag between 1) a wireless keyboard, and 2) a wired logitech gamepad.

You seem to lump the lag together regardless of whether it's wired or wireless, and that raises a red flag to me that perhaps your lag is *NOT* from the input controller, but something else that is sort of a lag "bottleneck" and creates the illusion that you see the same lag whether wired or wireless. Maybe it's something with the display? I dunno, I just found the game was almost unplayable with wireless keyboard lag, but was near instantaneous with a wired gamepad.

Perhaps your display is using some fancy image processing, like how some TVs will perform certain image processing that adds lag? Try turning that off so your display is more responsive, then you might see differences in lag between wired/wireless controller inputs (which I'm guessing might be masked by your display lag if you have some extra display processing going on).
 
Glad I saw this, love this series. Already have most of them on PSN and played the crap out of them on my Vita. Got them here just in case I ever get around to making my virtual pinball cabinet.
 
I have an extra copy of the Star Wars Pinball Balance of the Force Pack. You must have at least 50 posts and post in this topic if you can use the key.
 
Whoa... the "Weekly Bundle" tab is gone. Usually, they at least have a placeholder and say "Coming soon" if they don't have something to post immediately.

UPDATE: The Blog says they are going with a couple of two-week-long bundles, one coming out every week. The tab is gone, but they may occasionally bring back a weekly.
