Pinball FX2 Import Detection Failed

CAGiversary!
I'm new to PinballFX/2. Tonight when I tried to play speed machine or extreme etc on pinball fx2, it said import detection failed.

This process was really confusing because it throws out the "failed" message instead of telling you that you need to buy the classic tables right away like they would with any other table. So it made me think I needed to buy the original pinball FX game. So I did...and now it's looking like there's a completely separate purchase you can make directly for pinball fx 2 to get the classic tables. When I try to play speed machine or extreme etc on pinball fx2, it still says import detection failed. Yet I can play the original pinball fx fine.

I just wish they would remove the old pinballfx all together, because I feel like I got cheated out of updated tables now, and the convenience of having everything in one place. Not to mention possibly a higher all together score. According to the Zen website, this was some kind of Microsoft server issue that couldn't be resolved by removing the cache. But since the problem is so old, I'm afraid I may just be out the money. The problem was supposedly fixed back then, but is apparently back now.

Yeah no idea about that but I suggest deleting the table and then re-downloading it through download history. Also is there a license issue perhaps? Did you buy and download the table on a different Xbox 360.
Don't know why you didn't do this before you bought PFX1 but that's what I'd try.
 
Microsoft ended up crediting me for the original PinballFX, then I just bought the classic tables through PinballFX2. The prices were exactly the same, so they didn't have a problem with doing that.

These are both really old games, so I doubt the issue comes up much anymore. But man that really sucked. The female agent at M$ was actually really nice and helpful though, imagine that. Kudos to them.
