[QUOTE="RetroDude, post: 56956, member: 187"] Here' exactly what I found with the new function, as described by MadScience2006... [B]Bug: Goals showing incorrectly for newly downloaded games already played on different iOS device.[/B] I Purchased and played Dr Dude and Firepower on my iPad 4. I completed the standard goals and a few Wizard Goals on both. I used the "Back Up Save Data (remote)" on the iPad and exited the game. I then started The Pinball Arcade on my iPhone 5. It didn't show the two new tables under the My Tables screen, but still showed them both under the New Tables screen. I selected "Restore Save Data (remote)" from the options screen, then went to the New Tables screen and selected Firepower. It prompted me to restore purchased tables and downloaded them. I first experienced the following when starting up Firepower to play, so I was careful to repeat my steps and document them when starting Dr Dude. From table selection menu, I selected Dr Dude. it shows the button for Wizard Goals, with two stars complete. Selecting the goals button shows not the Wizard Goals but the standard goals with check mark by each. I Selected the table to play and then viewed the Table Menu. It also shows Standard Goals and not Wizard Goals. Selecting the goals list once again shows all of the Standard Goals with check marks by each. After touching START, before plunging the first ball, I paused the game to the menu screen. it now properly shows the Wizard Goals with the correct items checked. It DOES fix itself once you start playing, but as a software developer myself, those are the most frustrating of all bugs. The ones that vanish! It makes the user think... [I]Did I really just see that[/I]? and subtly negatively affects the user perception of the program. I'm very happy to have this new functionality added to The Pinball Arcade! Even with the minor glitch. Gotta report them to get them fixed though! Edited: Added to BUGS thread [/QUOTE]
