Looks like the the wonky Firepower leaderboard is back. Scores crossed over from another table I'm guessing. Mobile gold for sure, a couple other divisions also I think

Malfunction giving me way too many points - Firepower table Gold Mobile League

Hello,
I was about 5 minutes into a game when my score would just increase and I couldn't stop it. The rest of the 5 minutes was just the score increasing. Please remove my entry as I had maybe 300,000 ish points at the time of the malfunction.


Thank you,

Sounds like it's the Infinite bonus glitch. It's fixed on PC, but I don't know if the fix made it to Mobile platforms. PSN will have to wait for that, too, until the next super/duper/mega/extreme patch.

Forgot about that infinite scoring glitch. Haven't had it happen to me in a long time. Thanks saspin.

I had a good ball prior to the malfunction but not 4 million points worth.

I had the same infinite bonus issue on Firepower... interesting thing was that the ball in play display (normally: 1) had nothing there. I just quit my game, easier.
Edit: PSN Gold tier, playing on PS3.

 

[PATINMICH]

Yeah, that bonus problem happened to me on Firepower, they need to take my score down, it has me at #1. Haven't had much time to play the last few days, so I'm just getting around to letting someone know about it. Gold - PS3, drifter440

 

[Johni3w6]

Had to fire up the PS3, due to the fact I only owned two of the tables on my PS4.

i have a small problem

according to the pinball arcade hp there were 25 minutes left when i played firepower again
my old score was a bit over 300k.
i scored about 900k with over 10 minutes left in the tournament.
the score was transmitted but not recognized when i look into my final position

I was very surprised to see what a poor showing in rank I generated in playing Fire Power. Of course I didn't have the help of the very generous glitch mentioned above. Now I feel cheated.

 

[chiliace]

I say eliminate Fire Power as a factor in calculating rank. It is only fair. Refigure the results to show skill level instead of presence of observed glitch.

 

[PATINMICH]

Well, they removed my bogus score, but never replaced it with my next highest....dropped from #6 to #31....

 

[chiliace]

Outrageous! They need to do better.

Probably not el dorado on mobile(iOS) - it's one of the six tables that crash on launch after the last update. Hopefully it's patched before the tournament.

El Dorado patched and working on iOS . Just updated on both PBA and PBA Plus. I use iPad Pro twelve incher. Don't know your equipment.

El dorado still crashing (iPad Air and a pad pro) last update was may 27th - did you get a new update or did farsighte patch something on their end?

I'm ignorant as to the difference, but both PBA and PBA PLUS had to download data before accessing game.

Cool, maybe it's better to start a new topic for this since it's a new tourney? That way it will also work as a heads-up for those who don't get/read the newsletter.
