Frequency of Occurrence: “60% of the time” , “Every ball that enters the crate”

Expected Result: “During 'Crate Multiball' ball enters the crate and is launched back into play from the right”

Thank you!

STTNG "search the galaxy" mission is broken!

It doesn't end after the gamma shot and doesn't award the wizzard goal. Tried it 5 times and got the same result.

I still have the high score two player bug. It happens literally every time I get a high score in two player. My girlfriend really wants to like playing this with me, but that bug is a showstopper. Its been there since launch, please fix this.

Title: Scared Stiff Monster Mania Plunger Cam Bug
OS: Windows 7
Ram: 8gb
Frequency: once, but only achieved it once, so unsure.
What happening: plunger can stuck through the entire multiball duration.

Title Bug: Camera - Medieval Madness: Flyover (Intro camera) is set way too low.. it passes through the front of the pinball cabinet.
OS Version: Windows 8 - 64 bit
Graphics Card: GeForce GTX 460 1GB DDR5
Ram: 8 GB
Version #: 1.24.8
Display Mode: Full Screen
Display Resolution: 1280x720 / 1920x1080 / 1920x1200

Frequency of Occurrence: 100%

Comment:The camera is also set too low on "Goin' Nuts" and "Flight 2000", but not as bad as "Medieval Madness".

I believe this is a physics issue.

if the back target isn't struck when the ball drops into the NZ hole you get credited with command decision/rank increase instead. Happens on real table too on weak shots.

are you sure that you do shots in right order (alpha, beta, gamma)? had no such problem

Doh...

The bug is new. In the past it wasn't an issue, but after i lost all goals and scores i found out about this. I did this more than five times. After the gamma shot you get a crystal, the mission doesn't end and you hear the voice telling you to shoot for gamma.

Central park - unlimited replays
Draining ball 5 automatically switched the counter back to ball 4. Aborted after a decent score
Restart of game fixed it.

I want to add something about the 360 wireless gamepad and some othe stuff:

- If you start TPA without first powering up the wireless gamepad, force feedback wil NOT work. Even if you go into settings and disable/enable force feedback, it won't work. The gamepad woks just fine if it's started whenever, just the force feedback is dead. For proper force feedback, the gamepad must be started befor TPA launch. Could this be fixed?

- I love black rose! After all this time, isn't anyone at Farsight fixing the ball shine? I've posted here with pictures how it shoul look - http://digitalpinballfans.com/showt...n-and-Feedback?p=129141&viewfull=1#post129141
Besides the ball, i also feel the rails and other silver elements need that nice silver SHINE! Can anyone argue that the ball and rails look fine here? http://s12.postimg.org/p4dae3fwt/2014_01_19_00005.jpg

- I also love BK2k. I see this thread where a guy does a nice job pointing out wrong things http://digitalpinballfans.com/showthread.php/7374-BK2K-feedback-from-a-(somewhat-nit-picky)-owner Why not work on making it better with that feedback?

Here is an idea:

As we only have a new table per month, why not have a new table plus a rereleased/fixed/updated table? Where is the shame in that? So you got the wrong cap orientation in bk2k. Ok, you fix that in no time along with what the community finds wrong and easy and you update the table!

The more you don't fix stuff, the more they pileup as new tables get released!

This should be fixed in the next build. I'll pass the rest of your feedback on.

*cough*FP/BK emulation*cough*
(and also the laughing sound when locking a ball in BK2K shouldn't be there, as someone pointed out in the BK2K area of the forum)

bad camera on lot of tables (MM, TOM, WD). happened after last update of nvidia driver 335.23

Update: installed old driver - camera is still messed up. Also the playfield is cut off at the front right at the flippers. Central drain hole is not visible any more.
Pleas fix this. Before it was fine.
I'm playing in portrait mode 1920x1080 by the way (cabinet).

Maybe it was the french language update...

Title Bug: Flashers on CV are broken
OS Version: Windows 8.1
Graphics Card: NVIDIA Geforce GT 650m
Ram: 8GB
Version #: 1.24.8
Display Mode: Full screen
Display Resolution: 1680x1050
Frequency of Occurrence: All the time
Expected Result: The orange/red flashers around the edge of the playfield should contribute to the light show - one prominent example: During ball lock, all flashers fire after each other to a drummroll.
Comment: The are just a dull orange for the entire game. They have been working during beta, but have been broken since vs 0.015.

as posted in several other threads like this one http://digitalpinballfans.com/showthread.php/5160-Can-t-compete-quot-Save-a-ball-with-The-Spell-quot-goal there is a bug in scared stiff preventing you to get the standard goal "spell save".
I am pretty sure I had it all right activated by hitting all targets twice (confirmed on DMD), but no spell light and when draining the ball nothing happend. seems to be an older bug.

Flyby cameras were changed for PS4, and someone accidentally overwrote wrong positions on a few tables. That should be fixed in our next release.

Thanks for the news about the cameras.

I don't know if fs is aware of "The PINK", but it was mentioned in many table threads. The issue is a pinkish hue, that mostly affects metal and white surfaces on the playfield. Some tables really look very unnatural / funny / awful.
