Quoted from delt31:

I will say that majority of the times it does hit chestburster but it's not 100% although I can check the balance and slope of my table again. Wondering if other owners see this too. Again it could be design just wasn't sure.
An unexpected way I'm seeing the ball get fed to that upper right flipper is hitting the right orbit sometimes is blocked into pops and the ball will sometimes be directed to the chestburster target and drop down to the upper right flipper.

Quoted from Astropin:

It's just a tough shot that you have to hit perfectly...I love it. My favorite is hitting it from the lower left flipper...near impossible...but possible
I actually find it harder to hit the outer mini loop that feeds directly to the right flipper...that's a tough shot (harder than the "chestburster" IMHO).

Quoted from delt31:

I do agree that when it hits, the feeling is great. I don't find the mini loop too tough but hitting that chestbusters from the left flipper? Damn near impossible for me too. Any tips on when to hit the ball on that one would be welcomed.

Quoted from WeirPinball:

is there a list of common stuff to check?

Quoted from WeirPinball:

So far -
Ball won't launch up the ramp - hits it and comes back to the kicker.
Ball won't go into the mouth, hits alien jaw and falls off.
High pitched sound when I hold the left flipper.
Trough kicker was too strong and ball would bounce right back into the trough. - Fixed.
Looks like I have some reading to do on the other three problems. Everything else seems fine so far.

Quoted from Kneissl:

I have my ball launcher power set pretty low, that helped mine. some people put a spacer on the mech which helped their alignment.
You'll have to mess with the xeno in the service menu to see what's going on. Your servo arm might need to be moved a notch on the spline so the jaw goes all the way open. make sure you don't hear a bunch of servo buzzing when the jaw is closed it'll burn out the servo over time.

Quoted from delt31:

hmmmm - so when the machine is on and the xeno mech stationary, you don't hear any buzz at all? I'll need to check again but I think mine has a little noise.

Quoted from WeirPinball:

High pitched sound when I hold the left flipper.

Quoted from pingod:

I updated code on both prototypes here, one game had a io2 board not found error after 10 games.
Air lock scoop, Vent 1 scoop, upper left flipper, and both switches by upper right ramp not working.
Other game seems fine so far.
except for the Alien mech not working, and auto plunger sticking out after launch.

Quoted from tezting:

Was the update for the prototypes? I thought they needed some kind of upgrade?

Quoted from Durzel:

The bootup screenshot shown before shows that a process is trying to untar/gunzip the hpd11.upd file. If it can't do that - as in MightyGrave case - then it will just abort. Basically that hpd11.upd file should just be put on a FAT32 formatted USB stick "as is", as said above.

Quoted from Marv:

mightygrave
Rename the hpd11.upd file to hpd11.tar.gz ...

Quoted from Indypin:

Since I did that, the ball fires 99% of the time now and works perfectly.

Quoted from WeirPinball:

It was the jaw hitting the left target - bent it forward a bit and the jaw dropped right down. I'll have to watch these targets as they will probably bend back and clearance for the jaw is minimal.

Quoted from hank527:

Heighway finally emailed. I ordered my game November 21, 2014 and paid in full then. I'm curious if anyone has a fully paid invoice and has an order before this one? I'm thinking I'm definitely the person waiting the longest and wanted to confirm.

Quoted from spfxted:

ALMOST perfectly ....

Quoted from pingod:

I don’t know,I wasn’t told anything otherwise

Quoted from WeirPinball:

Anybody figure out what would work best to protect the playfield screen?

Quoted from Whysnow:

Should not need anything to protect the screen.
If you are concerned with protecting the edge of the wood pf around the screen, then I would just ensure you set the screen perfectly level, ensure the screws have a dam of locktite to keep them in place, and that should be it.
I supposed you could use mylar on the edge to smooth/protect the ball transition, but I dont think it is needed???
Our game on route has had not issue or need for mylar at that spot since I made sure the screws were set to hold the screen at level.

Quoted from bcd:

That will definitely not work. You should not rename or modify the file at all, or it won't install.

Quoted from Marv:

He doesn't have many options at this point so its worth a try. The original file was .tar.gz, the .upd file has just been renamed it's still a gzip and will open with rar etc...

Quoted from Aurich:

He has options, the team is taking care of him, and you're talking to the guy who programmed the system, so it's really not worth arguing with him over whether or not it will work.

Quoted from WeirPinball:

Anybody figure out what would work best to protect the playfield screen?

Quoted from klinde1:

I want to second the clear cling vinyl it works great, is thicker and cushions more than mylar without the issue of sticking to the playfield. Just cut it about 3/8 of an inch bigger than the screen on all sides it works great. I also like it in front of the kickout which I also have protected by a Cliffy and around the magnet core. For a couple of bucks better safe than sorry.

Quoted from MK6PIN:

had hoped that owing them $$$ might have made a difference

Quoted from Makakka:

You can see it that way. You have nothing to say to them unless you pay in full so you are nothing to them. I dont know if they care much about the crumb bums and shoe clerks (not all) you are leading here because this thread alone contains tons of hate and defamation against the company. The main stream here says refund in open mouth like baby bird, never buy pin from them and buying experience is agony and frustration (other threads are worse).
I paid in full 2016 to support Andrews great vision and my taxes so I am something to them. Actually due to good contacts and much work some time ago fueled by anger (when Andrew did unhealthy tours in your country with my money) I can just pull the trigger and a bomb (since then in hypersleep chamber) drops in Wales, it would cost me a few minutes and no money. But I dont want that. I dont see a le shipped that was fully paid after mine in Andrews era (we ordered pin in Andrews era, these are completely different orders to post Andrew orders because a man is responsible for his trust, only kids, women and fags blame third parties for their mistakes) and that is not even important. Important is I appreciate the new owners and some loyal staff (I pray for their health) dig that pin out the shithole Andrew left it in and I dont want to disturb that process.
Besides, you are one of the golden boys of Morgan, he gifted you with a christmas dream. I received nothing personal from them since the ashes of Andrew. It hurts but it is ok until they hurt my trust which I feel wont ever happen. I feel they will deliver and I felt it all the time because this pin is dark magic that will succeed (it contains the bones Andrew ripped out of Nordman). I will comment (and donate) here when I have it or comment before when that stoner from California makes subpar comment again (I cant take it any longer) and you will have it also (after me I believe) if you keep your inner shakra intact. Until then.
