Quoted from EStroh:

New owner as of this week and I'm experiencing the same thing. My last three (made) shots to the drop targets resulted in 3 direct SDTM rebounds with no ball save. Is there supposed to be a ball save timer here? I'm avoiding the shootouts because of this.

Quoted from pch3727:

I believe there is supposed to be a ball save time, however I've tried to increase the ball save time multiple times to no success. There's an option under adjustments.
Part of the problem appears to be that the ball does not instantly drain due to the speed of the rebound. The ball often floats in the left drain lane behind the flippers on my game. I'm assuming that by the time it actually drains, whatever timer is set has expired.

Quoted from underlord:

Probably bugs.

Quoted from LTG:

You do that in the games software. Not an update. Do that in Utilities.
LTG : )

Quoted from Mully911:

The utilities screen prompts me to insert SD card with the message i created on it...

Quoted from alveolus:

Success!
Here is the baseline ball hop. No bueno.
For reference, the first picture shows the relationship between the inlane guide and the flipper. Almost perfectly aligned.[quoted image]
The second is a before picture of the ball against the guide. Almost perfectly centered.
[quoted image]
Next is the before measurement, followed by the after. I raised it approximately 3mm.[quoted image][quoted image]
Now you see the difference. The guide is well above the center of the ball.[quoted image]
And here is the after video. Almost no hop!
Had my flipper position been above the guide this might not have worked(although I suspect it would have still helped) so YMMV. Still worth a shot, though!

Download the MBR manual, that has info on making a little message for the small window on the display panel.

Quoted from ifpapinball:

Since the unfortunate passing of Lyman the only work that has been done the last 15 months was the putting together of the "to-do list" of what's left to finish the upgrade. The number of people that have been working full time on design, software, graphics and audio has been . . . ZERO.
Everyone on the CGC side was already set with their 2022 plans (Pulp Fiction development among other things). It was on Lyman and myself to pull this through in 2022 and that of course didn't happen.
Now that CGC is through most of that other 2022 work, I'm hopeful that there will be some serious progress made during this year because resources should finally be available.
For the record, there is already a ton of upgraded content that is in the game. IMO there's already enough upgraded content that I feel confident we could ship what's in my game today and people would absolutely enjoy it.
However, I'm not interested in doing 'good enough' on this project, especially regarding the circumstances surrounding it. I owe it Lyman and I owe it to myself to finish off the totality of our complete vision for the game, and that's what I intend on doing regardless of how long it takes to get it done.

Quoted from 3pinballs:

That's one shiny playfield! Also, did you happen to chip the clearcoat after raising the ball guide?

Quoted from alveolus:

Are you asking if lifting the ball guide caused lifting of the surrounding clear coat?

Quoted from Mully911:

Thanks I will D/L it and have a look!

Quoted from polishedball:

I had this too, I asked back then and was told no, I quickly learned to hit the edges and not dead on, alleviating the problem for the most part.

This absolutely worked for me too! Just made the adjustment tonight too! Big win! Thanks to the awesome pinsider who pointed that out. I think it was SlapDrain
Thanks again!!

Quoted from Ballderdash:

SN 25!






Of PF that is. Amirite?

Quoted from alveolus:

Thanks for reporting! It is encouraging that my solution has been reproduced!
Slapdrain did inspire my solution, but rather than position the guide to the center of the ball, I had the inspiration that raising the guide further would leverage the curve in the ball guide to reverse the trajectory of the ball as it exited the guide. It was a group effort!

Quoted from Ivanhoe:

Is it me or is CC an easy shooter? I have a TMNT and it’s really hard and I’m not getting rid of it because I’m motivated to get the hang of the shots. On my CC I have a ton of fun, I get about 2 extra balls per game and I shoot out frequently. I’m not saying it’s a bad game because it’s easy. In fact it’s incredibly fun. I just don’t know if I click with this title or if everyone is having an easy time too.

Quoted from alveolus:

Have you made any software adjustments?
I noticed that Showdown is achieved very easily out of the box.
Factory setting for Q Draw difficulty is “extra easy”, Light Q Draw difficulty is “easy”. I never had to actively shoot for the “lite quick draw” targets which is not the way it should be. There should be a point in the game where you have to choose to shoot those targets to progress to Showdown.
10 Combos works ok for me. It is usually the last objective I need to complete.
3 Bart Brothers is probably ok but I will be trying 4.
I would make extra balls harder to achieve also.
Ball save time isn’t too long, but that could be lowered.
Then make any physical adjustments you prefer to make it more challenging to keep out of control balls in play and you should feel adequately challenged unless you’re a world class player.

Quoted from Mrawesome44:

If anyone is looking for a cactus canyon LE NIB I have one coming in soon that i will be selling. Not looking to scalp anyone just going to sell it for what i was charged. $10,400 after tax and shipping. Or if you would like the spot and order directly from the distributor. It would only be $2k deposit+$500 transfer fee. The game is already en route to distributor.
