    Williams Pinball App Discussion

    There is a decent strategy for the Black Rose challenges though, you can usually backhand the Broadside shot from the right flipper, or go direct from the centre of the left, and if you basically spam that, there's enough points in the challenges that you'll stagger over the line in time. If you...

    DMD licensed tables. Which one is next?

    The Indy 500 and associated material has just changed hands, with Roger Penske's company owning everything to do with IndyCar nowadays. I'm not sure if that makes matters easier or harder for negotiations over licenses, as I'd imagine a new owner would see this as an easy way of getting some...

    In the challenge modes on that table, they've been playing with the strength of the launch to avoid an exploit using the lanes to score big points, I think some of this bumpiness is an attempt to allow the suitably weakened launch to go to the flippers, but it is definitely suspect (I'd add a...

    Does it make a difference what Android phone you run this on?

    A double bump as the latest bug fix release ties the strength (for Android at least) to something other than frame rate, so the kickers are proper strength for everything I tried (Black Rose, WhiteWater and Party Zone). I intend to upgrade to a bigger screen and better setup soon, but in the...

    Does it make a difference what Android phone you run this on?

    I'm bumping this back up, because I have more of a theory about this (it still affects the G4, by the way). Apparently people see this on steam in different configurations to do with resolutions. Presumably more powerful phones are running higher resolutions, but are less affected, so is the...

    Does it make a difference what Android phone you run this on?

    It seems since I said this that the strength has been altered to be a bit more reliable. I won't know for sure until I see Black Rose come up in challenges, but Party Zone VUKs worked perfectly. Guess someone is listening after all... No Pirate's Cove in Black Rose is still dodgy, so there is...

    Williams Pinball App Data Collection

    The latest update on Android seems to have removed the ability to buy part packs entirely, including the free one for ads. Not sure why. EDIT: And now it's back again, looks like the backend was being update right at the time I checked.

    Does it make a difference what Android phone you run this on?

    Thanks, it'd be nice to see if there is a good/bad list for play, as I think it's just a sub optimal codepath, but I've given up on them fixing anything like this (IIRC, sometimes different builds are pushed to different machines based on architecture, so different machines may see different...

    Further analysis shows the crate won for the first 'hard' challenge contains 1 part, which is the setup for 'easy' usually (they go 1,2,3 in the case of the first challenge slot). So yes, the respawned challeng is using the hard scores, but the easy reward, so I'm calling this a proper bug.

    Does it make a difference what Android phone you run this on?

    I notice a lot of physics bugs that I've put down to running on a Moto G4, but the frame rate still seems OK. If I were to go to a Nokia 8.1 or something similar (mid range, higher clock rate), would these problems disappear? I'm just curious to know if there's something in Zen's code where the...

    Interesting bug with the new Android challenge setup (May be MotoG4 and equivalent specific, but I don't have anything else to test on, yet). When you've completed all the challenges in a slot, when it is allowed to respawn a challenge after a given time, it starts with Hard first (so the...

    Android League Play award not given again

    I played a token game just to get on the board to see what happened - yep, still nothing for this season either. Something is seriously broken, somewhere

    With connection errors, just keep mashing Retry and it'll work eventually, it's just a lag between the ad network acknowledging you've viewed it and the Zen server doing likewise.

    Master List of Issues -- Williams Pinball

    Black Rose Lock kickout on Mobile is too weak to reliably clear out a single ball in all play modes. Party Zone Supersonic Comic/Party Guests VUK and Rock-It/Ozone Kicker too weak to reliably clear balls. In multiball, the latter leads to multiple retriggers of the jackpot award, overly high...

    Official Announcement.

    One issue as well is the use of the core assets (in terms of game code) in the tables. As I recall, Ghostbusters/Haunted House is scripted and doesn't use anything from Gottlieb, but Doctor Who places new animations and callouts over the WPC code, with the switch matrix adjusted to fit the new...

    Williams Volume 3 *OFFICIAL* Game play thread

    The TOM work feels really good - I was always a bit nonplussed with the TPA version for obvious reasons, but this is truly stunning. I don't think it's coincidence that they seem to be doing tables at the moment that really suit themselves to the visual addon side of things (even if those alpha...

    Android League Play award not given again

    Well, I ended up with 25 Zen coins and a few thousand tickets added to my account as compensasion, and a promise for an investigation in to why this isn't triggering for a number of users. Given they can manipulate totals directly, let's see what happens going forward. As for me, I'm giving...

    Williams Pinball App Discussion

    At the risk of introducing yet another currency to this game - challenge credits might be useful that regenerate over time, or with ads. I know the advanced challeng sort of does this with Zen Coins. Are they standardising on 50 tickets per ad now, as I was on 100 and it has dropped down. My...

    So bang goes that theory. I've opted out too and reinstalled, but I've already sent to support again, so I'll wait to see when (if?) they get back with something more concrete than last time.

    Android League Play award not given again

    It looks to me that only people who were getting 50 tickets (i.e. those on the lowest cost for upgrade objects) are getting the goods, and everyone else's is falling down a hole. As for Season 1, this is what I got back (with no award added to my account)
