[QUOTE="smbhax, post: 298100, member: 396"] OH wow! So that doesn't actually turn off the Match sequence (isn't that just a dip switch setting on the actual tables?), but for some reason, setting that option to ON lets you skip the Match sequence by pressing X. That is super-unintuitive! = o But sheesh I'm glad it's there, thanks a TON for the tip!! Holy jeepers! I did find a bug with it: 1) On PS4, start a game of Monster Bash, Pro mode 2) Set Settings - Williams Pinball Attract Mode to OFF 3) End the game by draining all balls 4) During the Match for Free Game sequence, set Settings - Williams Pinball Attract Mode to ON [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)][B]==> When the Match sequence ends, the game stays showing the table and the LCD screen, with no other UI present. /\ still works to toggle the camera, and Circle toggles animated toys, but X does nothing, and you are stuck unless you use RESTART GAME or EXIT TABLE from the PAUSE MENU. [ATTACH type="full" alt="2023-05-13 13-24-30.mp4_snapshot_00.00.751.jpg"]910[/ATTACH][/B][/COLOR] Actually, the first time I ran into that, once I got back out to the lounge/cabinet view and pressed X to start another game, Pinball FX crashed: An error has occurred in the following application.

The stuck with no UI to advance thing (short of going to the pause menu) reproduces every time, though.
