[QUOTE="Tann, post: 89696, member: 2327"] Hey guys, this translucent ball [B]is not[/B] a new ball, it's a bug! (2.14 NA update & 1.10 EUR update) Here's why and how to fix it (hoping that FS would do something about that): - If you play with a custom ball (very dark now, without reflection effect), and go back to the regular ball (grey-metallic), this one becomes translucent and hard to see on a lot of tables. - So, during a game with the regular ball (which is translucent), quit the game, go back to the XMB, and relaunch TPA. Start the same table or a table on which the ball is set to the regular one (do not play with a custom ball before!), and surprise! The regular ball is fine again! Not translucent, grey and metallic like a normal flipper ball. - Then, do a test: choose again a custom ball, play, and then, reactivate the regular ball... and bam! It becomes again translucent! You have to quit the game in order to get back the normal ball. [U] It appears that playing with a custom ball messes up the regular ball lighting.[/U] It's a bug, period. Thanks Spoonman to have opened this thread! EDIT: to avoid this bug, set all tables with the regular ball and do not play with a custom ball: the regular ball lighting will stay OK as long as you don't play with a custom ball. [/QUOTE]
