I had 3 conditions on upgrading from the ALP. 1) Lag fix 2) Twilight Zone table and themed machine 3) Closer to 1k in price. I guess that's 4 but so far Twilight Zone table is all that's happened. I pin the lag issues on Zen. Personally I've never thought they've done a great job on any of their tables. I thought Magic Pixel killed it with the Zac tables. Ashame they don't have Williams.

The Zen tables play very smoothly (lag getting better too), but the graphics are shocking poor on some of them (ep soon on that issue).

I have this machine. I preordered it back in Dec. Love it! Hate the Lag! Hey whenever you reach out to atgames ask if they could add some sort of tournament mode. That would be cool to set one up for the community. Kinda like steam has.

For $5 it's a no brainer even with the lag. They will eventually fix it, I have no doubt about it.

I like Attack from Mars the best out of all of them so far. Twilight Zone is a close second. The Gottlieb tables were a 100% Fail. Addams Family is cool but the lag is horrendous after playing the other tables.

For $5, you can't beat it. And if/when that lag is dealt with, it'll dang near perfect.

It's absolutely fabulous. If this is what the future of what their Zen conversions is, we are going to be very happy! It's more than worth the $5 price.

I've been enjoying it. That's the bottom line. If I'm looking for perfection, nope, not there. But even the mechical versions play varies based on wear and tear. To each their own, but is it fun, for a novice like me... yes.

I mean if it were $25. it'd be a different story. But for $5 (and presumably a fix for lag) it's an awful lot of fun.

I truly believe Zen isn't going to fix any of the issues, especially after atgames asked the community if they should continue to release tables despite problems vs taking a pause to fix everything.

If it's possible to fix it, you gotta think they will - it'll kill long term success if they don't.

@evilgeniusentertainment true, but we as a community gave them the green light to shovel out broken software. Once they receive our money where is the motivation to fix this issues if people are willing to look the other way.

AtGames has a long history of doing firmware updates/not abandoning their products. Heck, recently the ALP got a firmware upgrade and new available games when, frankly, it's not in AG's best interest to do so (as it would tend to under-cut sales of the 4KP). So if it's possible to fix, they'll fix it. The real question is... IS it possible to do? Clearly not an easy fix, or it would have been done by now....

Agreed and he's wrong about the ssf kit implementation. On the magic pixel tables you can hear every detail, but on AFM it's not great by any means.

​@@vilhelmstein2091So tables designed for the new 4K work great but the Zen tables are ports and that's why the issues on Zen? Who are the Project managers, QA and Dev Managers hired anymore? If that's the first thing I hear as part of the actual dev plan on the very first table, then before anything else gets done, I want to see the newly designed for 4K table and the Zen table port to 4K table play exactly the same performance-wise before anything else moves forward. When that doesn't happen, we agree that Zen will have X weeks to try and make the port right. If not possible by that date then the agreement is AtGames will have a new agreement worked out and ready to go for Zen to design the Zen tables on the 4K table instead of porting them. The schedules for each table release is pushed back accordingly in the project plans and work begins by AtGames and Zen teams to redesign, dev and QA. AtGames then communicates to all pre-order customers that a defect was found which affected the playability of the Zen tables on the new 4K platform. Attempts to resolve the issue over the last X weeks have proven unsuccessful. While the issue found was minor enough that customers could still receive their product on-time and play the table while we continue working on a fix, we have arrived at the conclusion that doing so doesn't meet the quality standards we set for ourselves, or for our loyal customers. We're sure you feel as we do, that when your product arrives there should be no difference in how the Zen and Non-Zen tables on your 4K table perform, and right now that is not the case. Thererfore, we have immediately changed our agreement with Zen and they will now be developing each Zen table for the 4K pinball, directly on the 4K platform rather than porting as initially planned. This will ensure all the tables play on the equal quality level we all expect and will ensure our customers are delivered the exact product you paid us for, the day it arrives to greet your home. Please understand that our quality commitment to our teams here and to you, our valued customers, means the AtGames and Zen teams will need some extra time to design, develop and QA the new Zen tables on your new 4K product. We anticipate this will delay the shipping of all tables currently available for pre-order by approximately X weeks from our original promised ship date. The new dates for each table will be updated on our web site by tomorrow and customers who pre-ordered will receive an email with the updated shipping dates. While we know the extra wait time for your product is never something that is desired, we believe the wait will be well worth it. However, we do realize that the extra wait is an inconvenience for you. Therefore, AtGames will be adding to your new pinball table! All customers who have pre-ordered as of end of day today will receive a coupon for a free $5 pinball table from our store to use and install on your 4K system as soon as it arrives. It's our way of saying we're sorry and ensuring you get more pinball on arrival day. Of course, if the delay and the coupon are still unacceptable and you wish to cancel your order, we completely understand. Please contact XXX and we will take care of you. We thank you for your purchase and we will email an update on the project status in a few weeks. Thank you! Pinball Wizard CEO of Pinballs That easy to save all this heartache now. Nobody is going to be upset with that type of communication and committment to ensuring quality, especially given the purchase price! So the tables get delivered a month or two later and it increases the overall project spend by hell, let's say even a few million, or even 5 million after paying Zen. Maybe 10 mill. Are you telling me that the damage done to the AtGames brand, their customer experience, the morale of their teams, team fatigue, overtime for hourly staff, cost of extra staff likely brought on to handle all the customers reaching out to find what's going on AND the many refunds/cancelled orders being requested because they're still shipping new tables with the same problem...is all that combined cost and company hit ultimately less than just delaying the releases and paying Zen to design them on the 4K platform? HELLLLLLLLL NO! It NEVER is! Even once the issue is resolved, it's going to take years to get customer trust back as well as new customers who are interested in future products they have coming, but those new customers will be waiting until others get it first now before they order. Not to mention all the staff dollars and they will have staff leave when all is said and done, which means more money to recruit replacements, interviews, hiring and then fully training them. The overall costs end up being not even close compared to a small delay, paying Zen and having all your customers showing how beautiful the machines are on KZfaq. Instead people are saying on KZfaq that they would love them, if not for the lag! Ugh! Why do companies do this to themselves simply to keep a promised ship date. It's never, ever, ever worth it. AtGames if reading I've been through it many times with companies, that's why I know 😊 I'm also available for hire either to consult or to play your tables on my channel, but wait till the lag is fixed first 😊 Cheers!

For $5, it's great. Flipper delay is but one aspect of how a games plays - LOTS of ways for vpin to suck, from physics to graphics to sound. AFM has minor lag - that's about the only real negative. As I mention at least a 1/2 dozen times in the video, if lag is a deal-breaker, then don't buy until it's fixed. For me, it's a minor issue, particularly at this price point.

Personally I think pinball is one of the least lag tolerant genres of games and definitely up there with fast FPS. IMO 60-80ms on top of your personal 150-200ms reaction time is an eternity in pinball. Zen Pinball FX / M on PC are very resource heavy for what they are so scaling this down to what is probably a SBC and running at 4K is a big ask. Will they fix it.. not sure but signs are not good especially when they were trying to normalise poor performance by saying 60-80ms was acceptable when it's not. Ultimately the reason for buying these is the Zen Williams tables running natively and Atgames getting to sell them at a premium Vs the Steam versions but so far it looking like OTG is the real solution which ignoring the PC costs will kill their Zen direct premium price sales to table and all the knock on effects that would have... I could only imagine a solution of having a "performance mode" where the res is dropped to 2K or less but a few on the internet/youtube would have a meltdown if they done this .. at least they would get content and views :P. Do I think they will "solve" the flipper lag enough to get me to buy one.. no unfortunately and I'd only get one if OTG was the aim but then your just buying a fancy controller for your PC for Pinball FX etc.
