    It looks better than other comparable tables. It's a great alternative to classic pinball machines that are expensive to buy, maintain, and repair.

    • @EvrydayErik
      @EvrydayErik  5 місяців тому +2

      Yeah, I think it’s fine and a huge improvement over the Arcade1up. Are there better options of available? Sure, but this works for me. I can’t deal with the size, cost and maintenance of real tables.

    Great review! I have real pins and the AtGames HD pin. When the HD had lag when it came out then I moved to one of my real pins I was hitting the flippers way to soon. I want to get the 4K but I am holding off till they get the bugs worked out. By the time I mod my HD pin for 4K, I would be in it for more than what this pin cost. Zen on PC has no lag if you have a good gaming PC. I think the lag could have been avoided with beefier hardware.

      Hey, thanks! I don’t have a real good gaming PC right now. They have come out with a few updates and the tables are playing better, even Addams family. I’m actually playing Addams family with the visual extras on now and it’s not bad. Not perfect, but not bad.

      Thanks Digital Victory! it might be just me, but the latest update might’ve improved the lag a little bit. And you’re right, after a few plays, you do get used to the timing. I’m probably gonna do another update video where I’m a little more positive on the machine. Twilight Zone is excellent, imo.

    • @lorenmorgan1931
      @lorenmorgan1931 4 місяці тому

      I have said this all over the forums on fb. I don't think it's the graphics, I think the api is not prioritized over the physics. If you play it you will see the lag gets worse when physics are calculating. If I had to guess, I would say that whenever Zen laid off half of their staff writers I started recording these things, they laid off a couple of key people who know how to get the latency down on different hardware. I'm going to guess that they don't know how to prioritize what is going on with the API request right now, and they don't have anybody smart enough to code it. They most likely go to port, I thought they were done, and just kept on people who were able to run, or build automation that can continue to keep porting the assets. If you play Addams Family you will notice the lag gets insanly unpredictable during Seance Mode when the physics are being worked the hardest. To the point it's honestly unplayable for someone who has the lag timed. Hopefully they get it straight because they announced yesterday, 45 more game packs which means this should get the bulk of what Zen has to offer natively on Pinball FX Aside from expired licenses.

    Setup mine last Friday.. the trick I did getting out of box was opening top, lift box up to stand, cut tape off bottom and unflapped cardboard, then very carefully say back down hold unit inside. The just lifted box off. Then stood back up to put legs on.
    Lag wise, garbage until I turned off both trails and number popups. I kept animations on. Playable after. The ball does to a lag stutter rolling down sometimes, very annoying. Haven't bought Adam's or Star trek, waiting to get better

Otherwise you do get used to it how the zen tables play. I think if they could just give it one more tweak, they’d be done. Still, the table that needs the biggest tweak is Adams family.

    Received my Attack from Mars 4K pinball. Couldn't even play it due to the server issues that were down for almost a week. Once I got it up and running, they mapped the solenoids to where they aren't the same button on each side. Then you have the flipper lag. On top of that, three pixels just went out on my play screen. Put in a ticket and they proceed to give me a link to a UA-cam video with 39 views explaining how to change out the buttons? Absolutely horrible.

    I think the pc board they designed was just not powerful enough. They try to cut absolutely every corner to make this as profitable as possible. My suggestion is get a pc, get 4k virtual pins if possible. I wish they would make an unbranded, zero license pinball. Pass the savings down, let us provide our own software and use their pin as the peripheral, especially with 4k monitor. Not sure why they don’t. It would be the best deal hardware wise. Other virtual pins r at least 5k if decent.
