iPhone4, iOS 6.1.3

Cannot restore purchased tables released before the Space Shuttle/White Water pack.

See http://digitalpinballfans.com/showt...rsion-1-2-9-Bugs?p=80591&viewfull=1#post80591 and http://digitalpinballfans.com/showt...rsion-1-2-9-Bugs?p=80683&viewfull=1#post80683 for complete details.

As I use two other iDevices to play TPA, this bug doesn't affect me very much, but it seems that other iPhone4 (and earlier?) owners may not be so sanguine.

EDIT: Not a bug (!)(?)

I sent this bug report off to FS Support, and they responded very quickly with a form response that did shed light on several potential causes of this problem. One cause (the one that applied to me) is that Apple tracks IAP per app (duh), and TPA Free is not TPA Paid (d'oh!). I ran TPA Free for months before buying TPA Paid, at which time my purchased tables automagically appeared in the Paid version, so I deleted TPA Free and didn't worry about anything. BUT, if you're in need of a restore, you gotta restore purchases into the app from which the tables were originally purchased. So, in short, download both Free and Paid versions of TPA and restore purchased tables in both - all tables will then show in both versions. Then you can delete TPA Free and TPA Paid will still contain all tables. It's a few hurdles, but it works.

Thanks, FarSight!

Notes say TOTAN is updated to v6. Game didn't update so I went to manage tables to update. Now the able is missing from list. TPA crashed and on return TOTAN is playable at v5 but still missing from the manage tables list.

If you have the paid version, TOTAN is built into the app, and so doesn't show up separately on the Manage Tables list.

I have the free version and it was showing v5 and now it's gone.

Device/OS: iPod Touch 4g iOS 5.1.1

Bug Description: Whirlwind is as impossible to play as Cirqus Voltaire and Ripley's. Horribly laggy and floaty, half speed with double reaction time.

Steps To Reproduce: Play Whirlwind.

Frequency: 100%

Additional Comments: I also have an iPod touch 4g here on ios 6.1.3 so I will heck it out on there to see if it's the same.

Also if ur jailbroken you can just copy over ur files, from the private documents folder and you shouldn't have to do it next time around...alternatively, you can purchase the tables again on ur paid version and file a ticket with applte for purchasing the same content twice and if u have the email receipts they will have no problems refunding you, and u should never have the problem again. (only refunds given for IAP are for purchasing the same content twice)

Please fix sound level issues (particularly the spinning disk sounds) on WW, otherwise it seems pretty good.

Device/OS: iPad4 / iOS 6.1.3

Bug Description: Multiple tables - "Troll Bomb"-equivalent items are used when nudging the table.

Steps To Reproduce: Play MM, MB, or Champion Pub. Acquire one or more Troll Bombs / Monster Bombs / Smart Punches. Start the appropriate mode wherein you can use the collected bomb(s). Nudge. One bomb will be used for every nudge until you're out of bombs.

Frequency: 100%

Additional Comments: This bug appears to have been around since May 2012 (in MM). I'll add this to the Champion Pub table forum if a mod would kindly create it?

E-mail sent to FS support.

Device/OS: iPad 2 / iOS 6.1.3

Bug Description: Choosing "Manage Tables" results in a crash.

Steps To Reproduce: Select "Manage Tables".

Frequency: 100%

Additional Comments: I've tried rebooting the iPad, but no dice.

 

[DeeEff]

"Manage Tables" works here, iPad4 / iOS 6.1.3

Have you tried deleting the app (after doing a "Back up save data" -> Remote) and reinstalling it (and then "Restore save data" -> Remote)?

Yeah, it's a PITA restoring tables but it might work.

Additional Comments: Reminds me of CV.

I had a score not post to the leaderboards for WW. I was in my reliable usual wifi. iPhone 4S newest software. Anyone else have this problem?

EDIT: Happened to me twice now. Checked my internet connection and everything/logged in, etc.

On WW earning a replay does not give the player an extra ball

No table music when playing Pinbot

 

[DeeEff]

No table music when playing Pinbot

Could this have something to do with that?

- Playing Whirlwind causes sound and gameplay issues on Dr. Dude, Elvira Party Monsters, Pin*Bot, or Taxi. A workaround is to fully close and reopen the application.

I bought the 2 new tables on iPhone4S and updated all the tables, no problem

Then I turned on the ipad2 and downloaded the tables again and went through starting each one as usual. When TZ is in the centre of the screen, it crashes. Won't let me start TZ. No idea if this is one table related or not, but was all fine before the update.

Centaur: earning the special does not reward an extra ball. Showing a credit on the display instead

 

[Frostyglitch]

Device/OS: iPhone 4 - 6.1.3

Bug Description: crashing, missing/wrong sounds, low frame rate on all tables

Steps To Reproduce: Start Whirlwind or Press Manage Tables button

Frequency: every time

Additional Comments:

This latest release has completely broken TPA on my iPhone 4. It causes the frame rate to get so bad that I have to restart my phone to get TPA working at the right speed again. The sound in Whirlwind is atrocious; it has missing, repeating, stretched out and wrong sounds. For instance "Looks like rain!" is missing. I also noticed the physics don't feel right, almost like the scripting went haywire. The ball travels in an erratic fashion at times even when the plates aren't moving. I also noticed the crash bug of hitting the manage tables button is back again.

It's beginning to feel like maybe the Farsight team needs to think about using a different engine or getting some fresh dev blood in the mix. Because, every time a new set of tables comes out, something else gets broken. Not to mention tables like Circus Voltaire still haven't been fixed. I've sent my bug report in, here's hoping these issues get resolved quickly. How do disturbing bugs like this even make it to release when you can't miss them?!
