Bug Android Version 1.4.2 Bugs

[Ryan Routon]

so, given that I had more time I found yet another performance tweak for the old huds (FH, Bride, Taxi) that should help even more. If I don't get a beta build out to you guys today (i want to get this performance update in) then definitely be on the lookout monday.

Don't know if this has already been found...(don't play in Landscape much).

Start TPA with phone held in Portrait orientation so you are at the screen where table selection is made.

Turn phone 90deg clockwise so earpiece is on right and mike is on left of phone as you are holding it.
Screen display of app will adapt and rotate to look correct for new orientation.

Press 'start' to pick any table.
Press 'start' to start game.

Game goes to plunger view but orientation is upside down now.
This was in app ver 1.4.2 (not beta).

This has been an issue with my my htc rezound since February!
I believe the cause of this issue is locking the orientation after pressing start on a game. the app is free to change orientation except when in a game. The app simply defaults to landscape in one way, preventing you from turning your phone around and playing it the other way.


ISSUE:
While in landscape,the display, when my phone's headphone jack is to the right, when I press start to initiate a game it flips the app upside down. It's upside down because it locked the phone's display.

FIX:
Pressing the lock screen on/off will fix the issue, but must be performed everytime i want to play holding my phone this way(display upside down).

*Landscape is fine both ways outside from playing the game.

Good news, the latest performance tweaked helped a lot, so if you were experiencing lag on funhouse or bride this should help, I know on my DroidX (old phone) its actually playing good now which before it was a slide show. Unfortunately I am out of town this weekend so the beta build will have to wait until monday, but just wanted to give you guys the good news =)

Harley:

-"Red Light Multiball Ready" animation goes straight into "Red Light Multiball" without requiring an additional shot (or else it isn't animating correctly on the previous shot). I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but it functions differently from all the other "multiball ready" notifications I've seen.

-I had a ball fly off the ramp and get stuck somewhere unseen. The call attendant function didn't work ("ball not lost" or whatever). I was able to nudge the table about 50 times (after TILT) and get the ball to pop back into play.

-It is possible to shoot two balls into the traffic signal at once. There is a clacking sound like the balls are constantly hitting together while in the signal. Perhaps that's normal, it just struck me as a little odd.

Harley

I've noticed that the match function is disabled in Harley. The games goes from bonus end to game over immediately. Is this a trend for all new and existing tables?

I have match sequence in Harley on ios.

Extraballs are being released on Ripley and CV and possibly Harley causing major issues. Hasnt been a problem before the latest beta build

This is a known issue with code relating to the ball trough. It will be fixed with the next beta build. Keep an eye on this thread tomorrow for the new apk link.

 

[esp2000]

Any update at all as to when a new beta will be ready to try?

 

[Ryan Routon]

If you are following the other thread there was one other performance issue that I am attempting to address that might push us back a bit (hoping not though ).

 

[esp2000]

Yea, I have been following the other thread as well. Thank you for the update Ryan.

Where is the other thread? Which forum area is it in? Have you got a link you could share here?

I think maybe he was referring to that thread since he posted in there several times yesterday.

Ok here is the newest build : http://androidfiles.pinballarcade.com/beta/AndroidPinballActivity3.apk


Fixed:
-cirqus dmd covered.
-cirqus white line on the texture above the dmd.
-fixed multi ball.
-fixed demo score for Harley.
-Taxi – joyride camera fixed.
- Gorgar speech should play in full with no other sounds playing. Other sounds should not cancel Gorgar speech.
- Gorgars speech and hearbeat sound seem to be completely absent on random games when playing consecutive games.
- Sound sample that's supposed to play when you light all three top roll-over lights (A, B, C) is missing.
-taxi cameras tweaked.
-Harley score match fixed.
-fixed the Harley bug where the DMD freezes.
-fixed sling shot bug on bride.
All of these Gorgar issues were related to the same thing and are now fixed. The first one I believe is fixed, I haven't heard it happen since my change.
• Gorgar speech should play in full with no other sounds playing. Other sounds should not cancel Gorgar speech.
• Gorgars speech and hearbeat sound seem to be completely absent on random games when playing consecutive games.
• Sound sample that's supposed to play when you light all three top roll-over lights (A, B, C) is missing.
-black hole art fixes.
-sling shots work in bride.
-moved black knight buttons (that’s for you Nik )
-hall of fame alignment on some devices were scaled improperly.
-hud optimizations are in place for taxi, bride, and funhouse that should help your performance. Note however I had to turn off the taxi hud on the backglass due to the new way I am generating the hud texture, however during gameplay you don’t really see it anyhow.
