I discovered this bug after downloading the new tables. It's actually a bug I'd like to see stay in the game though. Here's a craptastic video of it that I made. I wish I could tell you which keys I'm hitting to cause this to happen. However I'm using a 360 controller that's only partially mapped for this game. The buttons I'm hitting weren't actually mapped to any keys for the game. But hitting them is what pulls up this debug window. I'll be submitting a full bug report on this very soon.
Edit: After playing with the controller for a while, I've figured out how to go through all the menus etc. Kind of nice being able to see all the tables close up now.

Whoa, now that's far out.
Thank You for fixing the instruction menu!
Bug in No Good Gophers where the Whirlwheel flashing pointer doesn't actually give you that goal or even one close to it. I was seeing if maybe it was reading a few spaces left or right, but it is just completely random.
Sometimes it would be the flashing pointer, other times it was three to the right another time it was 4 to the left... Very frustrating when your going for a high score, because some of the modes just aren't worth putting out...so you would want to hit the spinners to change it. And one of them is the bad shot... never want to purposefully aim to put out when that would be pointed to, but alas, I got it a few times, even when the pointer wasn't pointing to it.

As per before as well, extra buttons/nudge doesn't work when a flipper is engaged.
There is a noticeable delay in when pressing space bar before the plunger starts to get pulled back
I know other members posted stuff in the 1.0.4 thread. I feel these two should be be taken seriously and fixed in the next update as these seriously detract from the overall game play experience. The OSX is a great platform for TPA, because graphics are great, and can be much more portable than an xbox.
Also a in-game mapping for a controller would be great too!! Currently using mapping programs, so not a huge deal, but would be nice to native controller support.

I don't understand why the Mac TPA has to have jaggy graphics, when many of us are running higher end graphic cards which power PC's.
Very depressing that the game on the Mac only seems like a cheap way to make Farsight a little pocket money on the back of the iOS game.

I noticed they have anisotropic filtering turned off be default for the actors in the debug menu. I turned it on and restarted, it helps a bit. I uploaded some of the images here.

I agree....although apparently the Steam version looks like it will be available for Mac too, so all you Mac guys should be sure to vote for it on Steam Greenlight since it will have much better graphics.

Many publishers offer cross platform games. Meaning if you buy for the PC you automatically get the Mac version on Steam as well. I've been wondering if FarSight plans to go this route, as it'll be perfect for folks like me that have both. As it is I already buy all the tables for iOS, 360 and Mac. It'd be nice if they chipped in on the Windows platform.

Guess it's rather the Mac version that will be available on Steam, too. Don't want to stop any Mac owners from voting for it on Greenlight, as I'm desperately waiting for a PC release, but I can't imagine there will be two different versions of the game for MacOS.

Yeah, that's what Mike said about the PC version. But having the Mac version on par with the 360 and PC ones would mean starting from scratch for that platform, wouldn't it? I'd be happy for every Mac owner should they get a big - or rather huge - update, but I can't see FS finding the time to completely redo their MacOS code. Or is porting from PC to Mac that much easier than porting from 360 to Mac?

Sorry, I misread your post, so I deleted my post right after, but apparently not quickly enough
When you said, "Guess it's rather the Mac version that will be available on Steam, too", I thought you were saying the PC version would essentially be the same as the Mac version. I'm too sleepy to be reading right now, lol. (it's 3 AM here)

Just played it again. Worked fine for the first time around, but did not work after that in the same game. Never allowed 2nd ball to lock. You can shoot the ball under the right ramp where it should lock and I would hear a click sound (as if it was hitting a ball already there). The ball then stays there and nothing happens. Nudge doesn't help. you can call the attendant to reset the ball but it still has the bug each time you send it under that ramp. This happened on both my Mac and macbook pro.
Also, I have a common bug that happens on several tables. When you start a second game, the table will launch 2 or 3 balls after the first ball has been sent to the plunger at game start up.

There seems to be a bug that's crept into CFTBG. Even though my camera angle is set to 1, whenever the ball head toward the top of the table the camera zooms in to a top-down view of just below the upper playfield. The rollovers aren't visible from that angle. When the ball leaves the upper table area, the camera zooms back out to normal view. Even if the ball simply passes in an arc across the top and back down one of the sides, the camera rapidly zooms in. The effect is nauseating. And it happens only on that table.
