Patch 1.22 NA and 1.23 EU

[shogun00]

So it looks like they published really fast, so they should be out there ready to download. Tell me how everything is.

Everything is stable, but that audio bug is really bad in Sorcerer.

All the sounds are sped up and it's giving me a headache. Can someone at Farsight please fix that annoying sound bug, that's been plaguing the PS4 version of the game for 4 years now?

On Wipeout, hitting the upper slingshot still doesn't light bumpers to increase dog bonus.

Everything else looks fine so far.

Edit: I agree that the sound cutting off bug effects Sorcerer badly during the bonus countdown, multi ball activation and during a few other instances.

I fixed that a couple weeks ago. I seen you mention it a few times, but I was waiting for the new patch announcement to tell everyone.

Ghostbusters room lighting is still too bright, even at zero percent. Game is perfectly playable, but I like to set the lighting to be like the old arcades were decades ago....which is to say pretty dark.

Other than a brief play of GB and and the new Sorcerer table, I won't really be able to dig into TPA until the weekend.

Loving this patch! Now I need to scavenge up some money to get the rest of the seasons.

The PS4 friends leaderboard still displays "Me" instead of your own PSN-ID.

It wasn't in the patch notes, so that makes sense. I did it a week or so ago, so it will be coming out in the next patch.

Tom, can you please ask the artists to remove the playfield texture swap from Sorcerer. The entire playfield goes dark when the GI turns off.

EDIT : Also, raising the room brightness on TX-Sector barely brightens up the playfield after the table was updated on the PS4.

 

[Gorgar]

Nitpicking, but is the main menu "music" on sorcerer correct? It is a constant loop of a short sound effect that appears to be the same sound effect that plays when you select the table. The sound effect chosen is really annoying, and that is coming by from someone that likes the sounds of Goin Nuts, El Dorado City of Gold and Space Shuttle (I actually love the spce ****tle sounds)

 

[jrolson]

Noticed a couple graphical issues.

World Champion Soccer
Insert table bulbs when lighted up don't show through the transparent plastic ramps.

Attack from Mars
When a saucer is defeated and starts to shake, a square cutout can be seen in the middle of it. (Camera 2)
When the saucer gate is down, there's like a shadow above it that a glow ball will travel under instead of over it.

Don't think there's any possible fix for this without an engine rewrite.

Isn't that just a draw order issue with the tranparent ramps or is it more complicated than that?

 

[gameaddict4life]

Noticed some of my local high scores were wiped but other than that a pretty good patch. The Sorcerer menu music is annoying though.

 

[Rayder]

Something I've always wondered.....does the fast repeating sounds that chop-up on many of the tables do that on the dev units too, or does it only occur on home PS4's?

 

[FarSight_Matt]

Yeah, but the draw order isn't easily changed.

 

[PiN WiZ]

Yeah, but the draw order isn't easily changed.

Got it...thanks Mike

Is it normal that I need to pay for sorcerer extra on PS4 even if I paid Season Pass 7 two months ago

 

[Drathro]

Same problem , Season 7 PRO EU doesn't unlock Sorcerer.

 

[Rayder]

In USA, the Sorcerer addons in PSN all still show a price, even though I have the Season 7 Pro Pass, but the table is available and playable in TPA. It worked that way with Pistol Poker too. Are you sure you don't actually have the table after the update? If not, try restoring licenses.

Absolutely not normal. When it comes to this, it's usually Sony's fault that a person who owns the pass cannot also then buy the table for free. We are talking with Sony for a fix to this problem.

This is something I've personally done in code, so that in the case where Sony might've messed up, you should still be able to play the table. Like Rayder said, have you actually checked your owned table in the game?
