New update just up on App Store

[Medieval_Gofers]

I think everyone's so busy admiring the NGG ramps to realise that NONE of the playfield plastics are visible through them. They're still there, but the transparency of the ramps shows bare pla field underneath instead of the plastics.

Can people confirm this? I'm sure it's a quick fix for Farsight

I can see playfield underneath. iPhone 5s. 8.1.3

It's like how you always wished x-ray specs would work.

Same for me. Ipad 4, iOS 7.1.2

This is why I don't get the appeal of playing games on mobile devices? The problems reported always seem to be endless, not to mention you're playing a game on a little screen.

No thank you.

Well after the first SST update I had to delete the app and re-install to stop it crashing on plunge. After this update the camera is stuck in plunger view.

I play on both ps3 and iOS - iPad screen is great plus playing it on a modded icade with side buttons is awesome. I like getting the tables on iOS as they are released.... Have to say that having the season pass available again on ps3 makes supporting this game on 2 platforms less painfull financially.

Black Knight still horribly broken.

A men to that. Firepower as well

Black Knight still horribly broken.

Since there was no mention of BK in the update, this shouldn't be surprising.

 

[Sean]

Sorry, how is Firepower "horribly broken?" I mean is there something wrong beyond lack of emulation (which I don't equate with broken-ness)?

Try locking a ball.

Fireball is a mess and it worked fine before SST release.

Damn. Nothing like having a favourite table jacked-up by one I don't give a crap about...

 

[tyche]

Fungi listed all the broke tables found so far since SST

The current broken iOS tables are BK (magna saves), FP (you found those), Gorgar (spot targets not lighting up serpent bonus), HRC (slot machine display).

 

[Sean]

How did these tables get broken though? Wasn't this just some artwork refreshing?

 

[vfpcoder]

Really frustrated by "Firepower" being broken as it’s one of my favorite tables.
Seems like it's been broken for over two weeks now!

They are broken since the release of SST. Once in a while a new release messes up old tables. I think that happens because the newly released table needs some new functionality in the core app which then has to be updated with the table release, which then in turn messes up other tables that use the same central code and/or are affected by inadvertent bugs introduced by the new core app code. This is all conjecture by somebody with at best mediocre knowledge of how apps work on iOS and even less knowledge of how to program them. Just deduction from the behaviour of the app over time, so feel free to correct me. Phantom of the Opera is still broken by the way, try getting a HS on the table and your initials get messed up, but worse, try getting a highest score and the table crashes the app AND the ability to do a remote backup/restore. Only a full reinstall will help. Just wanted to repeat that. I have good hope this SST/Gorgar/Firepower/BK/HRC problem will be adressed in an upcoming update, because it affects multiple tables. Keeping fingers crossed!

This update has made the camera on NGG sit slightly off to the right hand side on all settings for me. Not the end of the world, but wasn't like this before the ramp update.

Using iPad 3 ios 8.1
