Patch Notes 1.0.3 (106734)
The first update of Pinball M brings a brand new table and several fixes, almost as many as the bodies you have piled up while playing the tables. Big day, big jackpots!
[h2]New table
[/h2]
System Shock Pinball - Flip to the death in the depths of space. Guide the Hacker and defeat SHODAN.
[h2]General changes[/h2]
- The maximum player profile level has been increased from level 100 to 110.
- Adjusted the appearance of the floating scores on all tables.
[h2]General fixes[/h2]
- The Rite of Passage achievement can once again be earned.
- The mini leaderboard for arcade mode will be visible now in the table play corners.
- After playing a daily challenge game, the post-game result screen and daily challenge screen in the main menu will correctly show the player's global daily rank on the vertical line, instead of the rank for the specific challenge played.
- In case a score for a tournament cannot be uploaded to the leaderboard at the post-game result screen due to connection issues, the game will reattempt uploading it each time it is launched, as it does for other game modes.
- In the tournament list and tournament table play corners Dread Challenge games will correctly show their type as Dread Challenge, instead of Survival Challenge.
- In tournament games with unlimited play attempts, the restart game option in the pause menu will now work correctly. The restart option is still disabled for tournaments with limited play attempts, to prevent accidentally wasted attempts.
- The sound notification for the last 5 seconds of game time in Shiver Challenges won't play constantly when the game mode is played without a time limit.
- When inspecting a player's profile, the table awards and powerup levels will correctly show what the given player has achieved.
- In the profile stats, the number of spotlighted tournaments created will be correctly tracked from now on.
- The options menu will correctly reopen after backing from the Personal Data menu.
- On the post-game result screen for tournaments, the spotlight progress bar won't go above 100%.
- Various minor onboarding fixes
- Activating the cabinet mode multiple times in a game session won't result in lower and lower frame rate at each activation anymore. Please note however, that using cabinet mode may still reduce frame rate by about 10-15%, depending on the exact hardware configuration and video settings, which is due to the additional viewports the game has to utilize.
- In cabinet mode, the LCD display for Duke Nukem's Big Shot Pinball is now correctly aligned vertically.
- The upscaler mode in the advanced graphics settings now has its options listed in ascending order and shows none when no upscaler method is selected.
- The progress for the current level of the Endless Tournament mastery won't reset when the player doesn't play Daily Challenges for a day.
- The voiceover associated with new community feed entries won't play when playing on a table. If the community feed finishes updating during gameplay, instead the voiceover will be delayed until the player exits to the main menu.
- The shield time in Survival Challenges won't expire earlier, based on how much time the player has waited before launching the ball.

- The ball cannot fall inside the slingshots anymore in some rare cases.
The Thing Pinball

- The Who Goes There? mode being lost won't cause one of the Wizard mode target lanes to be inactive, preventing the Wizard mode from being completed.
- The next Husky target should always correctly appear now during the Lockdown mode.
- Finishing the Fire Frenzy mode with a ballout or by the game ending won't result in the mode being won.
