crazydaisy Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I have to catch up on software so i can install the new delta , I presume I use the EU software not the USA software. Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koops Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I have to catch up on software so i can install the new delta , I presume I use the EU software not the USA software. Thanks :) Makes no difference. It's just geolocated servers for better download speed. So US should be faster for Aussies (bigger links to the us than eu). It's only 59mb so not that large a file anyway. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audioenslaved Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 3.0 code is available now,full install Is it much of an improvement? The game was ok from the 2.xx whatever that one was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Moderator GIBO Posted November 15, 2018 Super Moderator Share Posted November 15, 2018 Is it much of an improvement? The game was ok from the 2.xx whatever that one was The last few updates have really stepped the game up,better light show and the modes now have a purpose. I understand its not for everyone but if you like a deep mode based game I dont think there is any title better. My recomendation to first time players to the game is you really need someone experienced with the ruleset to guide you through the first few games as it can come across as just a multiball fiasco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
