Bug PC Version 1.19.6 Bugs

[Crawley]

It looks like it's high-resolution-specific. I set my resolution to 1920x1080, 16xAA, post-processing on and there are no artifacts. It looks like Farsight needs to get some higher-resolution monitors to test on.

There definitely is an issue with AA on NVidia cards.

I just replaced my AMD 7870 with a GeForce 780 and the crispness you get with 16AA isn't there on the GeForce card.

Was scratching my head a bit when the initial complaints about the tables looking bad were being posted here and on Steam since they all looked fantastic to me. But once I put the 780 in and started launching tables I noticed right away all tables lost that sharpness they had with the AMD card.

I know there's the workaround with the 3rd party program but gonna wait on a in-game fix.

Frequency of Occurrence: 100% of the time

It fails when loading the main menu music. Pressing A to continue should be fine, you'll just be without music on the menu. The root cause was from splitting the memory pools to fix the XP crash. Slightly increasing them seems to have fixed it.

Sounds good, thanks for the instant reply.

Not really a "bug", but the re-entry tube on Black Hole is missing.

Confirmed for a LONG time.

Title Bug: General – Scared Stiff: Crate doesn't open when reaching "Stiff-O-Meter" for the 2nd time
OS Version: Windows 7
Graphics Card: NVIDIA Geforce GTX 560
Ram: 8GB
Version #: 1.94
Display Mode: Full Screen
Display Resolution: 1920x1080

Frequency of Occurrence: Once (wasn't able to reach required game progress more than once)

Expected Result: When reaching “Stiff-O-Meter" for the 2nd time in one game, the crate should let the ball in.
Actual Result: When I managed to start "Stiff-O-Meter" for a second time during a single game (on ball 3, one EB in reserve), the crate did not let the ball in when hit. I hit the crate 10 or more times, and each time just the sound of hitting the closed crate was played. Therefore the "Stiff-O-Meter" mode could not be started. This did not change after the ball drained and my last EB was in play.

Comment: While the bug occured, I shot other lanes also. When I shot the web lane (the right one which increases spiderweb value) the point increase did not stop. It was running infinitely (up to a point of over 11 million, when I shot the lane again and it stopped). Not sure if this is connected to the bug described above.

Confirmed for a LONG time.

Figured it probably was, but I just played it for the first time on PC today and thought I'd go ahead and say something about it.

I don't know if you can really call this a bug, but editing the high scores file with a text editor to correct an input error causes the table to start with mirrored video (left is right/right is left) and no visible GUI. GUI doesn't come back if you exit the table, you have to exit the game to fix it. Nothing relevant in the log. (A hex editor works as it should)

Title Bug: General – Scared Stiff: Crate doesn't open when reaching "Stiff-O-Meter" for the 2nd time
OS Version: Windows 7
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon
Ram: 4GB
Version #: 1.94
Display Mode: Full Screen
Display Resolution: 1600x900

I can confirm the SS bugs.
1.Camera locks to plunger (with flippers inactivated) during crate multiball and does not return to playfield until the next ball.
2.Ball goes through crate or doesn't enter.
Bug is similar to the Android version.

Circus Voltaire has been nice so far.

GENIE has very pink colors and the flippers look a bit strange. Victory looks much better than on my tablet.

Hah, I saw this happen last night as well. Very funny thing to see the ball shoot to the "lock" receptacle and then keep rolling right outside of the machine. This was during the multiball segment so the game continued just fine until the other balls drained and then the action continued indefinitely until I used the attendant reset option.

Has anyone noticed on Circus Voltaire that a few lines at the top of the DMD built into the table get cut off?

Bug: Twilight Zone completing standard goals doesn't unlock achievement and doesn't save my goal progress.
OS: Windows 7 64
CPU: I7 950 @ 3.1GHz
GPU: GTX 480
RAM: 6GB
Version: 1.19.4
Display: 1920x1080 fullscreen

Frequency of occurrence: 100%

Expected Result: Finishing all standard goals in Twilight Zone should unlock standard goal achievement and unlock wizard goals.
Actual Result: I only have the yellow skill shot goal to achieve and when I achieve it I do get the "Goal 1 complete" yet I don't get the achievement and when I exit the game and relaunch my standard goals are reverted back to when I only needed the skill shot goal 1.

I've unlocked that goal six times and I still get the same bug. I'm not sure if it's due to the order of which I unlocked the other standard goals or what.

EDIT:
I'm having the exact same issue with no good gophers. I have all standard goals unlocked except for skill shot goal. Getting the skill shot does not unlock standard goal achievement and when relaunching the game reverts my goals back to what it was.

Something is up with completing standard goals with a skill shot.
