Went to play Dr. Who on PC today and the game felt off. It was way too fast, the lighting, the ball, everything moving about double speed. That's never happened before.

My monitor is 120hz and it seems that in a recent update the game is now syncing the physics to your refresh rate. Anyone else having this problem?

WTF Rick?!

Quoted from iloveplywood:

Looks like no VR support ever for Bally/Williams games. It was probably a long shot anyway, but I had a tiny bit of hope that it would happen. Anyway, kind of a sad about this. Oh well, at least all the Stern games will be merged with the main version of TPA now -- I couldn't stand the Stern version of TPA. The UI and loading times were ridiculous.

Decided to play devil's advocate here for a second... I love Pinball Arcade however they have been leveraging their B/W license and the nostalgia those titles have rather than innovating with new features and technologies - or heck even a decent UI.

So maybe Rick thought the B/W virtual pins needed a re-think, a modern update. A new license holder might give us VR Medieval Madness and actually have balls that respond like real pinballs; hitting the glass and bouncing over plastics. They also might give us a better online or competitive system. How about split-flip play with a friend across the state?

Basically I'm saying Farsight has brought us all a wonderful product but maybe it's time to pass the license on to some new blood. They've had years and years to innovate and improve things but they've simply stuck with their multi-platform money printing formula.
