Pinball Ride 1.2.x Updates

Pinball Ride 1.2 is our second major update for the game. With this update we really pushed a lot of new content in the game but unfortunately a few bugs got in too.

Pinball Ride 1.2.1 is fixing a few important bugs and restoring Ranking.


 - Fixes offline/online Profile sync.
 - Fixes Facebook Connect issues.
 - Fixes minor in game display issues.
 - Fixes collision issues.
 - Ranking now displays properly.

Some bugs remain in the version, and we are working on it right now. We're also looking to improve our update rate so that fixes and improvements come more regularly.

[Update 09/17: We've submitted an update to Apple, please read this post for more info]

We want to provide a list of recurring bugs we're working on and we'll keep it updated.
  • Boss Multiball crash: The game crashes during the Boss Multiball when you enter the garage and get a  Multiball reward. Please avoid the garage when in Boss Multiball (Story Mode). We have a fix for this issue, we'll send an update to Apple really soon.
  • Flipper stuck in up position: This a recurring problem that occur on specific devices, not all devices. It happens mostly on iPhone 3G, but some people have seen it on other devices too. We're still investigating the issue. As this is device specific which makes it really hard to debug. We encourage you to test the free version before buying the unlimited version. The work around in to put the game in pause, quit and resume the game. The flipper will be back in down position. [Update 09/15: We have a fix for this issue too now, we are submitting to Apple with this fix]
There are other bugs, but they are online/server related. We are able to fix them without updating the game.

If you find an annoying bug that is not on this list don't hesitate to contact the support and send a detailed description of the problem.

The main menu has also been reworked. It is larger, easier to read and much easier to navigate.
The first page gives you access to the Story and Burst modes at any time.
On the second page you'll have access to all other pages.
