[QUOTE="Tann, post: 89825, member: 2327"] Ok, I investigated this bug... and it's just insane. Take a seat. I use Rbion and MB for the example. The two tables (of your choice) must be set with the regular ball by default when you launch TPA. 1- Launch TPA (really?) 2- Go to the table selection screen, choose Rbion, go to the table menu, Extras, and choose the "zebra" ball as custom ball *saving*. 3- Start a game: the zebra ball is weird, dark, with a pink/purple "glow". [SIZE=1][url=https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-4F4VwiUszm8/Ue_9oHlxdGI/AAAAAAAAC6k/fMk920HFoeM/w491-h655-no/2013-07-23+14.09.22.jpg]screenschot[/url][/SIZE] 4- Quit the game, go to the table selection screen, and choose MB. Start a game, the regular ball is ok (grey, shiny, and metallic) 5- Quit the game, go to the table selection screen, and choose Rbion. Start a game, the zebra ball is still messed up. 6- Quit the game, go directly to Rbion table menu (do not go to the table selection screen), Extras, and choose the regular ball *saving*. 7- Start a game on Rbion, the regular ball is messed up and is now translucent. [SIZE=1][url=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v226/spoonmanx/null_zpsb8841299.jpg]screenshot[/url][/SIZE] 8- Quit the game, go to the table selection screen, and choose MB. 9- Start a game on MB, the regular ball is now messed up too (translucent), like on Rbion. 10- Quit the game, go back to the main menu screen (the one with Season Pack buttons) 11- Enter My Tables, choose MB, start a game... and WTF! The regular ball is OK (grey, shiny, metallic)! No need to reboot TPA, it just needs to go back to the main menu screen in order to get back the regular ball. 12- Quit the game on MB, go to the table selection screen, and choose Rbion. 13- Start a game... the regular ball is OK too! 14- Quit the game, go directly to the Rbion table menu (do not go to the table selection screen), Extras, and choose the zebra ball. *saving* 15- Start a game... and WTF again! The zebra ball is OK, shiny and metallic, with a nice lighting effect! [SIZE=1][url=https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-aoU5CoDF1Bw/Ue_73jo4HqI/AAAAAAAAC58/7_rIViU3fzk/w491-h655-no/2013-07-24+00.07.43.jpg]screenshot[/url][/SIZE] Others custom balls are OK too! (the smiley ball is like gold) 16- At this point, everything works fine, on all tables, playing or not with custom balls. 17- Quit the game, go back to the main menu screen, and quit TPA. Return to the XMB. 18- Relaunch TPA (really? again!?) 19- Go to the table selection screen, and choose Rbion. 20- Start a game directly (if you follow each step, the ball is currently the zebra ball)... and the zebra ball is messed up again!!!!!! FFFFFFFFFFFFF..........CKKKK! All others custom balls too! 21- In order to display correctly the ball (regular or custom), return to step 6. Notes: Point 6 is mandatory. If you don't set the ball to the regular one on the first table (the one with the messed up custom ball), the regular ball will be OK on others tables, and go back to the main menu screen won't fix the messed up custom ball. After step 6, [B]you must[/B] start an other table (with the regular ball set by default). If you don't start an other table, and directly go to the main menu screen, the ball will still be messed up on the first table you played. After step 10, [B]you must[/B] first relaunch the table on which you doesn't want to play with a custom ball (MB for the example). If you start directly the table on which you want to play with a custom ball, the regular ball will be OK, but the custom ball won't when you select it! Totally insane. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What a crazy bug. I hope this post helps FS to investigate this bug, and understand what's happening. Thanks for reading. [/QUOTE]
