Gulganei Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Thank you for this great update. Two things I've observed: The ball has gotten stuck in the vortex on the plunge a few times. It's just gets frozen in mid-air and needs to be nudged out. Interestingly, the nudging doesn't make it fall downwards as would be expected but it has to be repeatedly nudged back upwards (?) until it falls out of the hole. The ball often takes on unrealistic spin which is very evident because of the scratch texture applied to the ball. I can't tell if this spin is impacting the ball motion or if it is just a visual anomaly. Otherwise, really enjoying the table! It's nice to learn new (at least to me) games.

bord Posted November 26, 2021 Author Share Posted November 26, 2021 @Gulganeivp 10.6 or 10.7? Hundreds of games in 10.6 and I've never seen this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is most likely related to faulty controller/accelerometer you have plugged in to your computer, possibly a joystick or some other device you're using for buttons and/or nudge. Try unplugging all peripherals and test the game with keyboard only, if works as intended focus on the controller setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attached is a picture I took with my phone of the ball's stuck position. I was playing with 10.6. It was the second or third plunge playing this version when it got stuck. I also just want to echo others and say that the table looks wonderful and was playing really well otherwise! Ball just got stuck and I don't like shaking the table very hard, so I wasn't able to dislodge it. I agree with Gulganei that the ball seemed to move upward when I did bump it a little. My eyes might've just been playing tricks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makmak Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I had a similar experience, not really a ball stuck in that area, but its unlikely for a ball to stay on a ramp. A little nudge and it rolled down again. Playing on 10.6. Nevertheless an outstanding table!!! Thanks so much for sharing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is possible. I do have a Pinscape controller connected. I will have to see if I can reproduce it without it connected. I wouldn't be shocked if this a more general VPX issue that happens to manifest itself more with this table for some reason. On 11/26/2021 at 6:04 PM, CactusDude said: I've also experienced this.

Yes, this is exactly what I experienced. I definitely had to nudge the ball back up the ramp. There was no way (that I could find) to shake it loose so it would roll down the way it should.

Gulganei Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 In case it is helpful, here is a video capturing the phenomenon: https://drive.google.com/file/d/179YIGW5uck5fnFPq85EcjQAhWhQfmivC/view?usp=sharing Two other questions: 1. I noticed that the ball slowly rotates in the shooter lane at the start of a new ball. Does this happen to others as well? 2. Is anyone able to use the extra ball button on this table? I have confirmed my extra ball button is mapped correctly (e.g. it works for game continue in ST:TNG) but it doesn't seem to work on this table (either for cheating or to buy-in at the end of the game).

emuoyaji Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 As you can see from the screenshot of the table, the height of the side wall and the side rail do not match. I would appreciate it if you could fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gulganei Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I noticed that the latest release notes mention a hotfix for the ball getting stuck in the upper playfield. I've played a few games so far and haven't seen the issue. Thanks for working on a fix and making this excellent table even better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBandit18 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 the playfield seems much smaller, any thoughts would be greatly appreciated thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
