Android - Bug Observed Bugs in Twilight Zone (v1.7.0 BETA)

Re:- Real ball reflections - Don't forget the 'off' option (or wait till April '13 - phone upgrade time).

+1 for that!

Just tested the latest build on my Nook tablet and I no longer have the issue with SS when Family Mode is disabled. Also I am not seeing the issues with the HOF crashing on any of the tables.

 

[Ryan Routon]

huh, so most of you crash on the hof button but esp2000, very odd.

 

[Nik Barbour]

and just to be clear Nik, you were seeing slowdown on other tables than just TZ with the beta 2 right?

Day from hell - the weather never got above -2°C, 'The Hearse' (our black passat estate) decided it had had enough of its current fuel pump, and promptly died in rush hour traffic. 4hrs of getting it recovered later - might have hypothermia now (only had a light weight fleece to wear) never made it to work - going to bed before anything else bad happens!
Still - I've got my health right (mutter grumble, bar stewards - or something similar sounding).

But - before that - ver02 beta reinstated back, and yes, lag is present in other tables, just seen it in MB & SS. Again its mainly around the flippers. Not so much ball speed related though.
It is significantly more noticeable in TZ than the other tables though.

Also, is the ball in ver02 ever so slightly bigger on all tables?

HOF suddenly working in both TZ ver02 & ver03, and excitingly contains STTNG as its last line.

HoF-button now restarts the app for me.

I saw this as well. Very exciting to see.

This is a good thing, no?

It's a benefit having multiple people on different devices compare their experiences.
glad you found the problem Ryan.

not really, I didn't do anything. Still a mystery to me. But ill take it

The TZ table is not centered in the screen. This happens in all angles, and in both portrait and landscape modes.

I've had occasional slowdowns, which disappear after i pause and unpause the game.

Once, the game hanged when i did a 4-way combo.

btw, this is in TZ beta 3.

Just ran into the issue where the view does not move from the gumball machine when entering Powerball Mania. This is with version 3 of the beta. I cannot really say how often this is happening because I am not good enough to hit this on a regular basis. Just thought I would pass this on.

Welcome to the beta Hi-ban.

The off centre cam is a deliberate design decision due to TZ having 2 lh inlanes.
The slowdowns should only have been observed in beta ver02 (although you could be the exception) and we believe are due to the ball skin tech required by Powerball in TZ.
Ver03 had the skins stripped out in a test to restore performance.
Are you sure about this being with ver03?

 

[hi-ban]

It is the one from post #144: http://digitalpinballfans.com/showt...ne-(v1-7-0-BETA)?p=41590&viewfull=1#post41590

I've already had occasional slowdowns in other previous versions, with different tables. So maybe it's not a bug, but my phone's fault.

About the table not being centered... well, i suppose it depends on each one's taste, but i really don't like it. It looks "unpolished".
No offense, it's just my humble opinion.

The full release is available in the Google Play marketplace now.

 

[netizen]

those of us that paid for it before entitlements were enabled, do we contact support@ now that it has been released to get reimbursed?

 

[Carl Spiby]

Just had the table announce Powerball after getting a jackpot but the powerball was still in the gum ball machine, in fact I haven't shot any balls into it so the gum ball is still on the top.

 

[Carl Spiby]

The powerball appears to be bigger than the other balls and the texture doesn't rotate so it appears to slide everywhere.

 

[netizen]

during multi ball if two balls go around the spiral and stall at the magnet they'll occupy the same place, visually, when they come down the right spiral loop exit until they hit something; be it a flipper or bumper, w/e.
