Quoted from Joe_Blasi:

what hooks are they doing the emulation to make it fail like that?

The app has a couple failure modes like that, poor error handling I'm assuming. Probably tied to the graphics and not the actual emulation. When I tried SPA it would immediately error and quit, turns out that even though I have a DX11 system, their app doesn't support Intel's DX11 driver - why not detect this instead of just crashing?

Table seems like a hog in TPA even under DX9 mode, but hey, at least it finally came out.

Tried to update the app on my phone but google play is now saying my S7 can't run it? Weird.

Built a new PC last night, finally able to play in DX11. Big difference having lighting! Playing in DX9 was like every machine had stadium lights. I like how you can adjust the room and bulb brightness.

Quoted from Who-Dey:

Isnt that how they do it now? I really like TPA and ive always kind of taken up for Farsight but i have lost all faith in them. I also hate to be critical and sound like a dick, but have you seen the two immature kids that does their streams? All you have to do is watch one of their streams and its easy to see why Farsight puts out a bad product and why it takes them forever to produce these tables.

They should take a page from the Rocksmith guys, they also do a weekly stream including at least one of the devs and they demo the latest DLC with good production. It's an actual talk show.

I wonder what those guys actually do at Farsight, they're definitely not developers. Hopefully not QA.

Quoted from tjsynkral:

This was probably about money. Rick wanted more money and TPA didn't have more money to pay.

From what Farsight is claiming, WMS decided to take their ball and go home.
