[QUOTE="EGRyan, post: 39367, member: 815"] Let me start this off by saying if so many of you are finding bugs in TPA, they certainly must exist. I am absolutely not debating that, or questioning anyone on this forum. If fact, when I first downloaded TPA, I had the dreaded "flipper lag" bug. But that problem seems to be fixed. And I do see that a few of the tables have muted, washed-out looking colors. Yes, those tables could look better, but they play fine. One bug I do notice (and I don't think anyone here has mentioned it) is sometimes during multiball (and it has happened on several of the tables), the game frame rate seems to drop and the graphics get a kind of horizontal "scan line" look to them. It usually last 5-15 seconds, and then the game goes back to normal. Now, I probably don't play TPA as much as some (maybe 2-3 hours a week?). I mainly play BOPB, FH, TOTAN, TOM, MM, and most recently Elivira, Taxi, Monster Bash, but I've definitely spent time playing all the tables. (By the way, I own an actual Taxi pinball machine, so I do know how that table is supposed to play.) Now to my point. Maybe I've just been lucky, or maybe in my old age (I'm 49, and have been playing video games since Atari Pong) I just don't notice, but I have not experienced any serious bugs while playing TPA. I experienced a ball fly off a table once, and a few times the ball seemed to jump through a flipper, but no bugs have made any table unplayable. In fact, I can play any of the tables in TPA and not have any frustrations with bugs. Anyone else having a similar experience, or am I just the luckiest guy who owns this game? [/QUOTE]
