When the table says "updating" after you finish a game, and when you have furthered standard/wizard goals and/or achieved a high score list score, it could be that TPA does a remote backup for you automatically. I always also do this by hand, so I'm not sure. Remote restore should always work...

There's a lot of evidence that the bugs only affect newer generation devices like iPad mini retina, both iPad Air 1 & 2 and apparently also iPhone 5 and above.

Has anyone on iOS achieved the standard goal "score a ramp skill shot"? When I hold the left flipper, it becomes very hard to actually plunge the ball. When I do get it to plunge, the ball does pass over the "U" magnet to the left flipper as intended, but then I'm quite certain I managed to hit...

Can confirm Firepower issues for iOS 8.1.2 (latest) and iPad Air 2. Also, when first playing Starship Troopers, plunging the ball crashed the app to iOS main screen. I also found other tables (only tried AFM and Whodunnit) to produce the same problem. It got fixed with a total delete and...

Just wanted to confirm bug and mentioned fix. I'm pretty OCD now about doing remote backups... Not all is well though. This update messed up Firepower for example, targets stay lit between games and multiball is not activated. Phantom of the Opera is probably still not fixed. Other tables may...

I'm having the same issue with the non-locking targets. If you hit some and then start a new game without leaving the table menu, the targets stay lit also. It becomes very hard to remember which have been hit already. But the main issue is no multiball offcourse. Latest iOS and iPad Air 2. Too...

Closed the week on a high note: got my best score of 2.4M, a jump up from 1.7m. Funny thing is that I did it with 3 balls instead of 5. I do like the quicker scoring, but getting an insurance EB is also a higher priority. Have to experiment some more to see if my preference has changed for good...

Thanks Viking for the advice, much appreciated! I improved my deadpassing a lot the last couple of months and it finally paid off for some improvement on Genie, albeit modest. Went from 1.4M to 1.7M. It's a bit daunting to think that this is really only just past half what is needed for the 3M...

Hi Viking, Good point, just curious if you had some new insights. I'm an avid reader of those strategy threads, also started one or two of them and/or added to them. I even mentioned the great save vs. not-save shot chart that Tann made. There's a lot of flow vs. control arguments flying around...

Hi Viking, Have you seen shutyertrap's idea of playing "a table of the week"? He chose Genie (ad random I might add, otherwise I would have questioned his sanity :) ) Would be fun if you joined in and shared some wisdom with us earthbound players. Genie is driving us nuts over there! Thanks for...

Good idea this table of the week thing. But is choosing Genie to kick this off the best way to lure people in? :) Three pages and 53 posts in, it looks there are a lot of masochists present..... Anyway, I'm at 1.4M since God knows when, and the only wizard goal left is the 3M one. There is a...

TSPP would be great news, it's said to have a deeper ruleset than LOTR, and I love those tables with lots to discover! I have played TSPP on VP and loved the way things could be stacked. There's also a good Bowen Kerrins tutorial vid on papa.org. T&R Roadshow is also a fun pin with multiple...

Leuk om nog meer kaaskoppen hier te zien, nice to see a fellow Dutchman on the forums, Hate to burst the bubble, but I haven't seen Farsight react to these kind of questions, and if they would I would actually be a bit pissed off because they should give priority to very needed bug fixes. No...

Thanks for confirming. Maybe POTO isn't the most popular table but I still would like to see it work properly. Interesting that remote backup started working again without reinstalling, I wouldn't have bet on that myself!

Great scores! But still it's not clear how your PS3 score showed up at the TPA leaderboards while also being at the PSN leaderboards? PS4 scores don't seem to post to the combined TPA leaderboards then? I find it al very confusing!

That's hard to say because it's unclear a. if all scores over all platforms are posted to the same leaderboards. Some have said that mobile has it's own leaderboards but I can clearly see PC scores there also (I know this because I know VikingErik plays only on PC). There is a 23B score on the...

Hi fellow iOS people, Am I the only one with a crashing POTO table (when achieving highscores)? I have heard from about 2 people who have the same problem, but surely there are more? Please confirm this in the bug thread I started for iOS version 4.3.1...

Nice vid Mark, and not to take anything away from it, but it is apparent that nudging on other platforms like XBox and PS3 (and also PC if I'm correct) is much easier, because the amount of nudging that you use would have led to at least a tilt (warning) on iOS. It seems that there is a soft...

Just recently I bought my first real pin (NBA fastbreak), and in a particular good game found myself touching the glass to nudge it.... :) Thank you Farsight for programming my brain! That said, I also think Big Shot and Central Park are good practice tables, but my nudging went up a notch after...

Just an interesting sidenote for this discussion: check out http://david-smith.org/iosversionstats/ to see where you stand as an iOS user. All 5.x users seem to make for about 1,8% of all users, that percentage may be slightly higher for TPA users because of our justified apprehensiveness to...
