Bug Android Version 1.7.0 Bugs And Feedback

[PiN WiZ]

Bummer! Does the new beta feature a new icon with TZ on it? Because I still see the Scared Stiff logo. Really seems to be a problem with FS's cloud service.

The icon still shows Scared Stiff.

In portrait mode, the camera needs to be adjusted so that the flippers on The Twilight Zone are centered.

It only seems to be views 1 & 4 that's off centre. Others are good.

When you access the pro menu on Twilight Zone the logo at the top of the menu changes to the TOTAN logo.

Interestingly, we get a bit of a preview about the pricing model for Kickstarter-backed tables with this beta as well...

Good on you for testing out the Pro Mode features Bass Mummy. I think a lot of use here participated in the Kickstarter, so are a bit crippled while we wait for our unlock codes to arrive.

On TZ there's a sound effect missing when you shoot the ball into the unlit camera which lights a bumper.

The "twinkling star" sound is present for me when the Jet Bumper Added animation plays.

Ryan did state, if you purchase the app he will refund your purchase.
You have no reason to wait. Enjoy!

 

[jaredmorgs]

I will try to get that in by tomorrow instead of the ball skin. I had hoped to have that in but its been one hell of a week.

Also another alternative for now, if you have the TZ table reward because of kickstarter, for now you can buy it and tomorrow when i get the code in I can refund your purchase.

I am quite tempted to do this Ryan, however if the kickstarter reward tier auto-redemption is being implemented in a matter of days, then I would probably like to wait and test how this works once you roll out the new .apk.

Catching any bugs with this crucial functionality is probably one of the most important tests us Beta Testers can assist you with.

Hopefully the hard work you've invested with this feature is 100% bullet-proof, and the redemption process will be seamless.

Great news! Never played this table before... very exciting.

Here is a new link, same build different named file. Should fix any cloud issues where you are picking up an old file. This CDN acts very odd at times. I will either have a new build tonight or tomorrow depending on how easily the entitlement features goes in.

 

[Ryan Routon]

just a quick update, keep the bug reports coming. A lot of these are non-Android related, but I will pass them on so that they will get fixed when the others get a chance to look at them.

Yeah, I didn't have a device to run TPA back when the TZ kickstarter happened, so I went ahead and purchased the pro version of the table when I installed the beta. I am on board for the Star Trek kickstarter, however.

A couple other things I noticed regarding the operator's menu:

When you access the operator's menu via "Open Coin Door" the button labels are there, but the menu buttons themselves don't show up. You can still press them if you tap where they should be, but this makes it a bit harder to navigate. Also, I'm not sure about this one, but they seemed a little unresponsive. This could be due to not pressing in the right spot, of course.

Oh, also, I'm experiencing the same crash bug that someone else mentioned when I try to access my hall of fame scores. Like the other poster, I'm on a Nexus 7. Another crash bug I noticed was when I was initially trying to download tables, I had forgotten that my wifi was turned off. The game would crash every time it attempted (and failed) to begin downloading a table.

Another thing I wanted to mention was that I was playing around with the ball control function and racked up a score of around 350k. It didn't post the score to the online leaderboards, but the table did recognize and record it as a high score. Is that how it's intended to function?

So Mike R will need to update many of these observations "upstream" then propagate them back down to you. That's all good. I'm sure the other platforms are in the same boat.

I have to say that the way the lighting on this table is cast on the black pinball walls is truly beautiful. I'll say again: congrats on getting this feature working on mobile platforms. We saw hints of it in CFTBL, then saw more of it in SS. Those were "beta" efforts compared to the way lighting is cast in TZ.

+1 Beer to you.

Its the 'thunk' when the ball hits the scoop that's missing.

Yes, I agree, the table looks fantastic, though I've never had the opportunity to play a TZ in person.

 

[Ryan Routon]

ok just verified with someone else, the entitlement fix will have to be tomorrow. The code is there but unfortunately they are still putting the database together. In other words noone has unlock codes yet, someone will have to enter the data tomorrow.

In addition I am going to take a crack at some of the bugs you listed that i can fix like the Bigshot hud, HoF crash, etc.

as always thanks you guys!

 

[Ryan Routon]

Also another thing to note that is different than what we have done in the past. When we release the tournaments will still be in beta mode so that a large user base can stress test it.

 

[Ryan Routon]

Ok ill have to bug Jason about this. The table was updated so you should see some tuning fixes for sure.

Just had a 325,000,000 round on MM and only four of the six red flashers work. The red flashers on the left and right sides and the two red flashers on the back wall all work. The red flashers on the peasant and damsel ramps still do not work.

 

[Carl Spiby]

I'm getting multiball on TZ after only 1 locked ball and the left loop when it should be 2 locks and then the left loop.

Also why is the clock multicolored? The table I play on has a white one.

 

[Judi Chop]

Isn't that normal for TZ? I'm pretty sure you can start it after locking one ball and shooting the left loop and it just makes the starting jackpot smaller. I would have to double check the rule sheets.
