I can't see a way to make the mechanism work differently without serious modifications. I would lose the protector. You do not need it. And the idea to make the switches more sensitive is clever; just don't get the switches too tight or they'll misfire on their own due to vibration.

Good eye! I didn't see that.

Right

I tried that a few days ago and I do not solve the problem. Tomorrow I will try again ..

Thanks!!!!!!!!

Man, I keep coming to this thread hoping for some news on a code update.
The pin is very fun but IMO needs some deeper rules and mode progression.
Don’t get me wrong, our clan is still really digging the overall gameplay.

Regarding @mannymasy’s ongoing airball issues, I think the protector is likely contributing to this problem.
I’ve owned an LE for a while and have virtually no airballs.
It may be tough for Stern to problem solve this issue due to the installed pf protector.

I also hope for a new code !!!!! regards

Stern of the Union address today stated that new code is due out before the end of December. Yay!! I’m hoping for a big update with some changes to wow us. I love how this game shoots, with a combination of some nice flow shots (on the prem/LE especially) and some fun ramps. But wishing the code was a bit deeper and I can’t imagine it won’t be by the time they get to 1.0

Airballs has taken up 2-3 pages of posts. Was stated to be protector at the beginning. Seems to be proven to be that now. Maybe you’d have better luck with a unique thread since this a protector issue and not specific to this game. Maybe others with a protector have experienced this and have solutions to this problem. Others with protectors might just skip a Deadpool club thread.

Yup playfield protector.

It will be a balance act to adjust the contacts vs rapid fire.

If this doesn’t work demand a new protector that lines up direct with the holes in the slings!

I’ve had a pro for about a week and experienced both issues. Off the blue protectors into the bottom of the wire ramp, and the left sling throwing it all the way to the plunger lane. I have no play field protectors, all settings are stock. Wasn’t too worried about the ramp? It’s metal, it’s a fast game, just assumed it happens. The left sling to the plunge lane is annoying though.

Don’t have a fix, but figured I’d let you know you’re not the only one.

Have you tried turning down the sling power? Someone mentioned that, any help with the issue?

Heres to Hoping all your statements come true! (especially the last....lol)

I hope we can solve it ..

As far as the left sling hitting the ball into the shooter lane, mine did that at first, but one person early on in this thread recommended moving the rubber on the sling a little, which I did, but i also think a big factor in having the issue go away was simply playing the game and letting things settle down. It used to happen almost every night, and now a few weeks later it hasn’t happened in weeks. Give it some time, play/enjoy the game, and see if with time it settles down. Note, I have left the sling power at the factory settings.

Just want to double check how you drilled your pilot hole.
Stock, my target is fairly square with the hole and yours looks like the south end as been pulled in.

So did you just adjust the one top screw by re drilling to the right?

okay.
I put another washer more and it seems that now it almost never jumps, I think it works much better.
my laterakes targets also caused aerial balls, add a little foam to the targets so that they did not have too much inclination and also stopped jumping the balls.
I can only solve the knocks on the wire ramp, caused by the bounce of the blue rubber on the ramp and the lil deadpool post

LE owner #254, here. Absolutely loving it! Fast and flow-ey at 6.5 degrees. So morish!

I hope future code improves the story narrative - give players a reason to shoot other than getting points. Why is DP battling? Why does he need to collect teeth from T-Rex and Megalodon? Why does he need to defeat Mr Sinister?

Don't underestimate a good story narrative to keep players coming back.

Any other LE owners hear when the Vinyl album will be sent out?

Shooting for end of year.

Quick update on the Robertstone mod - Works great!

I only played 3 games and was FAR more successful hitting the multiplier shot. Even from a rebound off the lower pop... I only got a handful of tries from a complete trap on the left flipper and never really hit it, but from rolling down the inlane - much easier.

Again, this was a quick 2mi, glass-on test after a months hiatus so I'm sure it works even better with some more time on the flippers.

Stoked!

I think it's much better now.
in another game I jump some ball but it is less common, now it does it much less

My machine goes better. But if I raise the power of the slingshot to more than 18, it keeps jumping and hitting the glass often.

Fax Santa Claus?

I finally got some time on a Pro yesterday and all I can say is I'm blow away. I haven't walked up to a pin with no real expectations like this and came away saying I gotta get one. The Pro is packed and looks amazing in person. If I could find a nice used one for 500 off new in vegas it would already be in the gameroom. Pleasantly surprised by this title !

Anyone have issues with their BOOM button? I purchased my Pro Deadpool pin about 2 months ago, and last week the BOOM button started getting "stuck" (it would take time to "pop" back up). Then within 2 days, it got stuck altogether. Took it back to the dealer and he said "We've never had to replace a button before" (guilt trip) but they went ahead and gave me the one from the showroom.

I took it home, put it on my pin and it worked just fine. For 2 days. Today I noticed it is getting "stuck" again.

Any advice?

Want to buy an le with 25 plays on it?

You really shouldn’t be eating chimichangas and playing at the same time. What did you expect?

Better not shine a blacklight on that button. It’ll light up like a christmas tree.

Thanks but I found a pro

I am really enjoying this game!! Recorded some game play

I had an issue where the switch below was pushed up a little too high so when I locked the bar down, it was pressing the button constantly. Posted about it somewhere in this thread.

Pull off the lockdown bar and fiddle with the button. If it's moving without resistance, then you know it's the switch. My guess is maybe it's not aligned just right so it's not giving your Boom button the tiny push it needs to pop back up.

saw this on a brand new DP just out of the box and only after few games...

Had the same issue with my button on a relatively new game with low plays. I ended up swapping it out for an extra clear flipper button I had as part of an LED flipper conversion kit.

i had an issue on my boom button out of the box, but it was a simple fix, just needed to adjust the leaf switch a little. very minor.

I have had my boom button occasionally get stuck down. Maybe 2 times over the months that I've had the game. Usually just hitting it again pops it back so I haven't looked for a fix. Out of the box the light on my boom button RGB light didn't work. Two of the wires (red and 5V) were switched and soldered in the wrong locations, so switching them back got it working.

I have not had issues with the button on deadpool, but had this happen on star wars. Mostly I just needed to fiddle with the button or the switch underneath. The plastic button was somehow not centered over the switch by just enough that the switch was catching on the button when depressed, kinda wedging them together and stuck down. Would just look to see if your switch is mounted so it ends up centered under the button..

Funky mod that I just did...

I'm happy friends, there are almost no balls in the air!
There is another problem, but I do not know if it's the code. When you have 1 or 2 balls in the katana lock, most of the time in the ball you do not have the lock to turn it on or all the balls in the game field. happens when there are 2 players and the balls remain in the katana of the first player to the second or third. There are times when I have 3 balls in the game when you should only have 1

I've had zero airballs with Superband slingshot rings, granted I tend to keep my slingshot power lower.

Thats cause you have those mighty swords keeping the ball down! lol Did you do Superbands on the whole machine or just the slings? Never tried them as change doesn't always lead to good things but the Superbands have me intrigued.

What are the superband?
I still have the problem with the katana lock. Leave all the volas instead of just one

I think you have the only game that was built in Hell. Seriously.

yes dude ... you are absolutely right.
happens when there is more than one player and the balls are accumulated. When the second player puts a ball in the katana instead of releasing one, he releases them all

they need to get a move updating the code on this.

I completed the juggernaut, mystique and sabretooth, played sauron and then it seemed to start over. Besides the other two quests, is there anything else to this game? If not, it's sorely in need of more code.

Mr. Sinister modes per this sheet, but it doesn't say much about them.

If I recall from the video, Mr Sinister just awards points now. Its not a full wizard mode fleshed out yet.

Found it. Somewhere near the end the player achieves Mr Sinister and just gets points.

Does someone else have this when there is more than one player?
