Got a CV last month and it had 1.0 in it. I read that 2.0 hom was the one to have. So I ordered it. The problem I'm having, and maybe you guys can help me out here, is when the ringmaster elevates the ball. The ring master doesn't throw the ball off anymore. Sometimes it just rolls off and sometimes it sticks for a minute then rolls off. Kinda lame!
Now 1.0 would launch that thing in multiple directions. Is there a setting like on TOTAN for the magnet throw? I couldn't find one. Is this a flawed software issue Or am I going to just have to live with it?

Thanks guys for the suggestions. I will look into the flippers abort setting. I did change the WOW decal and it came with that little piece in the center to cover the screw, but I did that with the old software and it didn't effect the throw. The 2.0 definitely changed the way the ball is thrown it also changed the WOW effect on the ball with an increase of activity when the RM wasn't involved. Thanks

Quoted from Mattallica:

I figured this out a while ago but figured I would resurrect this thread just in case there is someone down the road that has this issue and it left scratching their head like I was. Before you go replacing harnesses and changing your ROMs, look at the screw on the top of the Ringmaster's head. The fix for mine was PAINFULLY simple, but not at all obvious to me. Somewhere down the road somebody did some work on the Ringmaster on my machine and replaced the factory screw with a regular flat headed screw. The screw that the game comes with (not mentioned anywhere in the parts list that I could find) is a round headed non-magnetized screw. I reached out to Revolutionary Pinball as they sell a kit to protect the Ringmaster hole that comes with a screw and they were nice enough to send me the screw and VOILA, the Ringmaster throws the ball around just like she is supposed to. I figure it is a long shot that this happens to someone else but just in case it does, you can now buy a replacement Ringmaster screw directly from Revolutionary Pinball.

Correct! I now have a different CV that is an HEP sample. That screw is special and I think a lot of guys get a CV and do not realize that someone has changed out that screw for the wrong one. Also, I have found that if you want to intensify the throwing of the ball off the top of the RM to (gently) shake the machine when (she) is about to eject the ball. It causes the ball to kind of roll around the circumference of the screw allowing for a more intense ejection. At least this is what my game reveals.
