- An onscreen keyboard would appear when the iCade option was enabled and no bluetooth keyboard was connected.

Device/OS: iPad (latest)/iOS 6.1

Bug Description: Bride of Pinbot's and Funhouse's heads-up display shows the bottom of two display lines twice instead of both display lines. I know that in past versions these two table's displays had issues where when rewards were given the display would temporarily blank out. Not sure if FarSight was trying to fix this, and introduced this bug in the process, but both bugs deserve attention.

Steps To Reproduce: Start the game. This condition continues throughout the game. (Though I play in portrait, and haven't yet tried landscape to see if it's there, too.)

Frequency: Every time.

Additional Comments: Impossible to see score until the game ends, and entering initials is very difficult unless you recite the alphabet along with each tap of the right arrow.

This should be fixed in version 1.2.9. Are you sure you've updated The Pinball Arcade to the latest version?

Device/OS: iPad (latest)/iOS 6.1

Bug Description: In Tales of the Arabian Nights and Ripley's Believe It Or Not, balls seemed to completely disappear. The ball goes away, and the Call Attendant feature claims that no ball is stuck. The game (but not the entire app) must be quit to recover.

Steps To Reproduce: Not entirely certain. In TOTAN, it appeared to happen when a ball was shot up the right loop, I think, but I wasn't paying a lot of attention to the history of the ball when it happened. I don't entirely remember when it happened in RBON.

Frequency: Happened twice in one day in TOTAN and once in RBON which is peculiarly often since the last update.

Additional Comments: Even nudging the table to the point of tilting does not "dislodge" the ball in these instances.

Right! Got it. It's fixed. Hadn't seen 1.2.9. yet. Got it now. Thanks.

Not completely sure if it is intentional but some tables are still not in the alphabetical order on the my tables menu.

Bug Description: wizard goals do not show up at PinBot. Table menu keeps showing the standard goals. I collected all five standard goals.

Edit: also happens on Centaur and Cactus Canyon. Maybe on all tables.

Haj, they are if you think of their full name, not the short name displayed. "Arabian Nights" looks out of place, but the full name is "Tales of the Arabian Nights," which explains the placement in the list.

Which ones? On my My Tables menu they're all in alpha order - Tales of the Arabian Nights looks out of place because there's not enough room for "Tales of the Arabian Nights" and "Tales" as a shortened name doesn't quite cut it.

Edit: slippage! Uh, +1 Gord

 

[Fungi]

And no, it's not right to put it under "A". Then people would complain that the title is "Tales of the Arabian Nights" and belongs under "T".

See if they show up when you start a game, then pause it.

I've updated to the latest release, and for the first time ever I'm having issues. Tables either crash the app or have desaturated colors, odd camera angles and play at a reduced frame rate. Plus the pause button is gone. I'm on iOS 6.1.3 iPad 3. Currently unplayable

 

[Gord Lacey]

Any chance you can take a screenshot for us? That's very odd.

My bad, you're absolutely correct

 

[Millertv79]

Sure, here is a desaturated White Water ss (with no pause button)

It looks like "post processing" turned on.
