Welcome Back to Digital Pinball Fans - please read this first
Exactly how long does it take for your score to show on leaderboards?

I would really appreciate an answer from FS on the nature of this problem and their projected timeline for fixing it. This is a major game issue that's leaving a lot of people frustrated and alienated, myself included. I'm usually very forgiving of bugs and what not because TPA is a great product, but the amount of time this has been going on without so much as an email or post about it is unacceptable imo. It's essentially a game breaking bug across all tables, every game, for anyone that pays attention to the leader boards. One of my favorite parts of new DLCs is watching peoples progress and scores with the new tables and competing, and this issue makes that an impossibility. End rant.

Nope, no scores are posting for me. 2 days ago i sent this to steve@farsightstudios.com, because I could never send to support@pinballarcade.com. Somebody suggested trying Steve. I sent him the problem:
Device/OS: IOS 6.1. Ipad3
Bug Description: not posting my scores on the 'myscore' boards for the weekly, monthly alltime, boards. For some reason the 'friends' board has me (ccavsman) at no. 1, but I am not located on the 'myscore' boards for these postings after Feb 18.
Steps To Reproduce: Scored 1,241,690 on the Black Hole machine. 'Friends' board has me no 1., but when checking the 'myscore' boards where i should be somewhere with that score I already looked to see if it was high enough for the boards), its showing the current 1 - 8 players for the timeperiod, but should be showing my personal score and where it is ranked.
Frequency: Every high score so far not posting to 'myscores', etc. leaderboards, but it shows in Friends as no. 1.
Additional Comments: It's weird that it is showing the current 1- 8 players where it usually shows my rank(in yellow). When I scroll down to where I should be, I'm not there. It shows my older scores on certain machines when Farsight was posting my scores fine. I play to post in the leaderboards.
Thank you!
I noticed the problem started Feb 18th, 2013. This is what I sent Steve, and still waiting to hear from him. Yeah, if the server is down, or there are application changes being made at this point after almost a week of leaderboards being mucked up, at least Farsight could TELL us whats up.

Ok, I definitely think they are working on it for sure. The option of 'Post Processing' is always on 'OFF' whenever I get into the app. I turn it 'ON', and go to a machine, back out to the options and it's 'OFF' again. So, I bet Farsights controlling that option for everybody, thus allowing no 'POSTING' to the leaderboards right now. I think it's a good find because at least I think they know about the issue for sure by doing this.

"Post processing" is a graphics term, meaning that the computing device does additional effects processing to the screen image after it has been rendered in the main rendering pass; on the PS3, for instance, at 1080p there is a single frame delay due to post processing for the HDR or whatnot lighting effect. I don't have the IPad version, but from the sound of it, that option probably doesn't have anything to do with the leaderboards.

That is correct. "Post processing" has nothing to do with the leaderboards.

I was wondering the same. It stays on on mine.
P.S. You don't want it on anyways. It doesn't work very well. Makes all the tables choppy.

I think those are done by using cheat apps on android or IOS though...

You mean my 40bn AFM score I set last night won't be on the leaderboards? Nooooo.
