[QUOTE="smbhax, post: 298150, member: 396"] PC version: if you map Keyboard - "Ball Launch" to something other than "Enter" key, that key will act as the "Enter" key to advance the "Play" prompts after losing a ball or at a table's attract screen (these still show and accept "Enter" key), but will NOT function to advance "Play Again" (which still shows and accepts "Enter" key) from the Congratulations screen. The problem may not occur until closing and restarting the game with the remapped keys; before restarting, the remapped Ball Launch may actually work for "Play Again." Besides that quirk, there's also an intermittent problem of the game resetting either all my keyboard remappings EXCEPT Ball Launch to default after setting them and restarting the game, or resetting JUST Ball Launch to default after restarting; this seems to happen until I've verified my new custom key settings are there and closed and restarted the program, perhaps several times in total. My intended full key setting is Left Flipper: F Right Flipper: J Ball Launch: N Use Power: Q Nudge to the Left: G Nudge to the Right: H Nudge Forward: Space Bar Change Camera: C Toggle Visual Mode: T Backglass View: Y so the repro case for Ball Launch not activating Play Again would be 1) Set the custom key mappings indicated above 2) Set Settings - Gameplay - Williams Pinball Attract Mode to ON (not sure this is required, but it affects game over button flow and I haven't tested it OFF) 3) Close the program 4) Restart the program and verify key settings are all still in place; if they aren't, set them again and restart again 5) Start a new Pro Mode game of Fish Tales (not sure these are necessary but haven't tested other combinations) 6) Lose all balls 7) Press Ball Launch at the "Play [Enter]" prompt to advance to Congratulations score screen 8) Press Ball Launch at the "Play Again [Enter]" prompt to try to advance to the table attract screen == Nothing happens; you have to press the old, default Ball Launch button, Enter, instead--this is both inconvenient, and inconsistent with the "Play [Enter]" prompts before and after, which do accept the remapped Ball Launch button (Separately, I'd like to have the game go right to Ball 1 from "Play Again [Enter]." "Play Again [Enter]" followed by "Play [Enter]" at the table's attract screen feels redundant and one click too many.) [/QUOTE]
