Pistol Whip is a hit!

We sell it as a John Wick style music game. Like Beat Saber but with guns. People have been loving it in our first weekend.

Love that you all are liking it! It’s definitely a new favorite among the team 🙂

I just wish it didn’t crash as often. Any word on if the devs know about the crashing and are working on a fix?

Pinging them daily about this 🙂

HunterLaneSBVR The crashing is definitely annoying and prevents me from recommending it more often. It also gives customers a bad impression of the game and arcade content in general. This crashing bug seems to be isolated to this CDS version (no reports of crashing on other platforms), so I hope getting it fixed is a priority.

I would appreciate it if CDS versions were fully tested before release (especially to prevent game breaking bugs like this), or just roll it out with Steam keys if bugs like this can’t be fixed in a timely manner. More and more, CDS seems to be not worth the convenience, especially if it introduces more problems than the Steam key/consumer versions.

I love it, my Quads and Back muscles aren’t quite as big a fan, lol

I think this would go great in our arcade as we have a military base down the road and many of our clients are some pretty good marksmen. They love their zombie headshots from 20 meters. It is quite amazing to see them play. I may wait until the crashes are better mitigated and happen less often. My clientele also doesn’t have time for crashes and will quickly move to another game if it happens more than once.

vrhead Hey there, I can assure you that titles are tested and anytime a bug/issue is found it is reported to the developer asap so they can look into it. This particular bug was actually present in the Steam version a few days before it went live and we notified it of them then.

Quick question, wanting to ensure it’s the same crash others experience. It happens a song is failed correct?

Thanks and I look forward to hearing back from you!

HunterLaneSBVR What benefits does the CDS version offer if it is not kept up-to-date and has more bugs than the Steam/consumer version? This is especially true for multiplayer games that have been broken by the CDS version (can’t play with Steam users, can’t invite friends, etc.).

The game does not crash every time the song is failed, so it is happening erratically but does seem to be tied to when the player fails.

There was also an instance where the player had the “no fail” mod on and the game crashed. The game would then crash on boot. I uninstalled and reinstalled it, but it would still crash on launch (music would start playing, but no visuals would load). Only after failing to launch the game several times did it finally boot up normally.

The version on CDS could be a different one altogether than what is on Steam as some developers like to provide different builds for arcades than what is on Steam.

While this isn’t necessarily the case with Pistol Whip, using our CDS and not Steam is a better solution for both operators and the content creators.

For multiplayer content that CDS breaks, we are choosing to not onboard them onto CDS currently to make sure the best experience is provided.

Anytime there is an issue reported by operators with a title, we make sure to notify the developers so they can get a build pushed out to you all as soon as possible.

We’re in contact with the Pistol Whip team and they are digging into these issues. We’ll make sure to update you all with when an update is pushed out!

I apologize for the issues and let me know if there’s anything else I can do to assist you!

I have to agree with the other arcades on here. The issue may have been present on both the cds and steam version at launch but the steam version has been updated to fix this and the cds version hasnt been. Again, we have no change logs and no update information so we have absolutely no way of knowing when/if a fix goes out, but clearly devs have a problem keeping 2 seperate versions up to date and are prioritizing the consumer version which we see time and time again with other devs, so it seems like the advantage of CDS is that we get a buggier/older version of the game. Do we have any info on devs on fixing the crashing issue. This game is quickly becoming one of our top games, which means it is seeing a lot of playtime- and a lot of crashing. We are already seeing repeat customers coming in to play it a second or third time and its only been out a week, so it would be great if it was fully fuctional.

Update to Pistol Whip should be out in the next 24 hours! Will post here again once it has been pushed live. 🙂

We’ve confirmed there will no longer be any issue of Pistol Whip not being the most up-to-date build on the SpringboardVR Marketplace!

OVPowerPlay

That is nice to hear. It has quickly become one of the more popular games in my arcade.

HunterLaneSBVR

OVPowerPlay It’s a good ’un!

HunterLaneSBVR

The latest build has been pushed and you all should no longer have the crashing issue! 🥳

Please let us know if you all do experience any issues with this build though.

Thanks as always and have a great week everyone!
