Got mail to select my options on #364. Hoping I'll get it before Halloween with a little luck

Weird I'm still waiting for payment call for #364. The numbering seems all over the place.

I guess should be soon enough trying to make sense of it serves no purpose. Lol

Paid balance on #364 a week ago. I keep checking my mail hoping to see it shipped. Lol

I received my game on Monday and set it up today and as soon as I turn it on Im getting a very loud humming sound that is overpowering the game music and audio.

If I turn the volume way up I can hear that the audio is playing and the video and mechanics look to be working, but the humming is so loud I can't play it.

Hope this is something easily solvable. Pretty disappointing to have a big issue right off the bat, but the game itself looks beautiful

I'm getting similar to this, except very loud humming sound instead of no audio. I did let it load all the way and afterwards the game does start

That was it! Loose audio line in the cabinet. Thanks much! Made my night

I've gotten some more time on the game. Very happy with the game and enjoying it a lot so far, even though finding it very difficult.

Have a few issues and potential issues. Sorry if any of these have already been covered

1. Backbox screw won't screw in tightly in the backbox. I've tried many angles, turning by hand, and by wrench. It seems like the hole in the backbox might be misaligned with the cabinet screw hole? I can get the screw in directly in the cabinet, but can't get it in via backbox hole.

2. The flipper rubber seems VERY bouncy. Is this intended? Never seen flippers with such bouncy rubber. Does this stop after it gets some play? It looks like lots of people replaced it when watching videos.

3. Each time the game ends it plays the crypt multiball video clip for a moment.

4. Can Frankenstein mode only be started from locking ball from the left ramp, than locking the second on upper playfield ramp?

Maybe fluke, but it seems after I lock one ball on left ramp I can never get a second ball up the left ramp.

After one ball is locked from left ramp should the upper playfield target stay down? Or it needs to be bashed still? It seems the upper playfield drop doesn't stay down for extended periods? Is that expected?

Last one time I got a ball up the upper playfield ramp without having a ball locked from left and it just rocketed down the left ramp sdtm. Should it have locked?

Sorry for all the questions, but thanks much if someone is able to answer some or all.

Was there any era on new code? My game came with 1.0.7.0, but seems some people have more recent.

The website just has ^.

I know it has been discussed, bit mainly looking forward to ball search enhancements until we get a bigger update.

I've had to take the glass off to find missing balls fairly often.

Having several issues with my game lately.

First one is pretty odd could have sworn this was working before, but when I go into any of the menu test options I can only use the start button to enter the section menu, but then it is completely non-functional.

For instance I can enter coil test menu by pressing start, but the start button doesn't actually work to do any of the tests. I can enter the drop target test menu, but I can't select any of the tests..

Also having issues with Frankenstein mode. Lab lock 1 is caught and registers fine, but it looks like my lab lock 2 is always in down position, even after lab 1 is successfully locked. Lab lock 2 is lit, but since the drop target is always down, even if I hit a shot that should start frank mode the diverter doesn't shift to lock ball 2.

Guessing for this issue the drop target is just stuck, but I'm totally baffled about the start button abruptly not working to initiate tests in the test menu when it works everywhere else.

The game is on latest code

Think it was what drizzt76 mentioned about in current release code can't initiate tests.

Thanks though

Good to know I'm not the only one. Thanks. Did it end up being a pretty easy fix, small adjustment for you? Or something more time consuming and laborious?

Hope to have some time to try to fix this weekend, but I have very minimalistic repair experience

I've had a decent amount of issues with mine. Got it nib and the magnet works maybe 1/10 tries and I've experimented with the settings.

Also the frank lock switches seem pretty finicky and I've had to adjust them numerous times.

Balls get stuck fairly often, but this has been better in the updated code.

The vuc often seems to launch the ball sdtm

Love the art and design of the game, and I'm a big Alice Cooper fan, so I dont regret getting it, but it does feel like I've spent more time tweaking it than playing it. It seems everything I get something dialed in on it a new thing pops up.

I dont have much experience and very low skill with fixing stuff, but ironically I've had more issues with the games I bought new. This and iron maiden

Was there a reliable fix for the scoop shooting sdtm frequently? I got it to be slightly better adjusting the scoop power settings, but its very inconsistent.

Sometimes goes to left flipper, sometimes right, sometimes sdtm.

I'm a little scared to bend the metal since dont want to risk permanently breaking it

Thanks for the tip, I'll give that a shot. Glad I asked, I had read something about pulling the scoop with a vice before, but I was assuming that it the portion above the playfield.

Sorry to do some reply necromancy on an older post, but I finally got some time to work on my game and I was attempting this fix you identified. I'm having trouble finding the woodscrews you were mentioning holding the black guidelines in place.

I'm only seeing what looks to be one screw that is exposed. Did you have to remove anything else from under the playfield to expose them? Thanks and apologies I'm a noob.

Ya, I was guessing that. I ended up just tugging on the wood guidelines and so far the autolaunch is performing well.

I tried yanking on the left scoop to try to get it to go to the right flipper more consistently on eject and it worked a few times, but back to being pretty random. Also now secret passage shots are frequently going into ball search.

Sigh, I love this game but I don't think I've ever had it working 100%. Every time fix something get a new issue.

I finally got a little time to spend dialing in my ACNC and I'm a little worried to jinx myself, but for the first time since I bought the machine everything is working as expected.

Big thanks to rotordave and ChipScott for pointing me in the right direction of resolving the last two annoying issues. My magnet save even magically started working consistently. Had a love/hate relationship with this game from the start with all the issues I've had, so really happy to have everything worked as intended.. for now..

Have had that among many other issues. I love the game and it's beautiful, probably one of my favorite art packages of all time in pinball but I've had endless issues with mine. It's been very whack a mole where I get around to fixing something then play a few games and a new issues pops up. Wash, rinse, repeat.

For the most part it's been things I've been able to fix myself and I'm a total novice with that, but I dont have too much time between work and two young children so I've rarely had the game working at 100%, but I think it is at the moment knock on wood.

I'm trying to stick to horror themes so I'll probably keep it for the foreseeable future as it's unique and will be increasingly rare down the line with only 500 total, but it's been a love hate relationship.
