[QUOTE="Fearmonkey, post: 42197, member: 1596"] [b]I'm having a weird issue with the ball physics and friction.[/b] This doesn't seem to be a table-specific issue either. The ball seems to be ridiculously bouncy, like it's made of rubber or something. Even if it's moving slowly, if it hits a corner or rail or flipper it bounces back real fast. It's especially annoying when the ball is going towards an outlane. For example, on CV, the ball falls over the corner towards the right outlane and I nudge the table so the ball will go into the inlane. But it hits the post and then bounces back and forth a couple times (faster than the ball was traveling previously) and ends up in the outlane anyway. It's really frustrating. On top of that there seems to be little to no friction on the table. One hit with the flipper and the ball is careening around the table a lot faster than I can track the ball. For example, on Arabian Nights, after I hit a Tiger Loop the ball exits the loop a lot faster than I can see it. Another odd thing about this, is if a table has a secondary table, like the Lower Level of Black Hole, the ball physics and friction seem to return to normal. Or at least it seems that way to me. This is making the game virtually unplayable for me. At least at a high level. I can still kick around the ball and "have fun", but I can't go after any Goals this way. It's just too inaccurate. I have no video capability otherwise I'd post visual proof. Anybody else having this issue? There a way to fix this? I've already deleted the game and re-installed multiple times and that didn't fix it. I thought there was a way to "restore factory defaults" but I don't seem to see a way to do that. Thanks for any help. [/QUOTE]
