Quoted from Tranquilize:

Is the theatre during EMP strike supposed to just release the ball back to the playfield? I'm getting SDTM without a severe shove. Once in a while, the theatre magnet will throw it back to the side flipper, but it mostly just releases it during this mode. My guess is that the designers made release it this way so that the lower magnets would hopefully divert the ball from causing a SDTM, but they only do this maybe 1/5 times, if that. Is this just poor code/design or a bug?

Unless you have something else also lit (like a mystery package), the magnet should just drop the ball during EMP.

Quoted from Tranquilize:

1. What is the purpose of the four LEDs directly in front of the lockdown bar? I thought maybe these were for tilt warnings, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Was for phone syncing, now just to look pretty.

With the EMP mode, it stops the ball then releases it, it does not throw it back up and around like other modes.

Your game isn't levelled correctly. A drop from the theatre magnet should just graze your left flipper tip.

Not sure what all these four lights are for but they do act as a flash when the camera starts taking pics.

#205 6 years ago

Thanks for the responses. I do get the theatre release hitting the flippers all other times. It only seems to be during EMP that I get SDTM.

I guess I shouldn't have written that I didn't have any glitches with my install because now I have a big one. I only played the game one session after the install. When I started up the game today, the phone was displayed without orange.

Here is a pic of the phone after a fresh install (normal):
Normal Dialed-in PhoneNormal Dialed-in Phone

Here is the most common color cast I'm getting after a restart, without orange hues:
Bad Color PhoneBad Color Phone

Here is a really bad one that I've had a few times I boot the machine:
Horrible Color PhoneHorrible Color Phone

Anyone know what might be causing this? It goes back to normal after another fresh install, but reverts to crap color after a restart. I've done this five times now. : (

If I can't find a solution, is the old code posted online somewhere?

Thanks.

EDIT: I did add a custom photo to the big screen, and I'm not sure if this problem with the phone was there before or after. I have not added the photo since, but I doubt it would affect the phone... Just thought I'd add that.

Quoted from Tranquilize:

I updated to 1.50 with an old 8gb thumb drive without any glitches.
Can anyone answer the following questions for me?
1. What is the purpose of the four LEDs directly in front of the lockdown bar? I thought maybe these were for tilt warnings, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
2. Is the theatre during EMP strike supposed to just release the ball back to the playfield? I'm getting SDTM without a severe shove.

Is this just poor code/design or a bug?

2. I never once get SDTM off the magnet release. Game is perfectly level and always hits tip of left flipper.

#207 6 years ago

Well, for anyone nervous about updating to 1.50, I decided to do it tonight, and everything was fine and my game has been playing fine.

The new updated stuff stands out and the game is more fun than ever.

#208 6 years ago
Quoted from Waldo:

Recently after updating while playing. All my screens went blank. Had to cycle power. Hasn’t happened again.

Had the same thing hit me today shortly after updating. I was playing with the iOS app if that matters.

#209 6 years ago
Quoted from Vesper:

Me too. Looks like a bug. But both times it happened I just waited and the system rebooted itself.

Quoted from Pinballpal:

Now they were 3. I just got off the phone with tech support. We are going to be doing some trouble shooting when they email me back.

Okay,
I connected an active set of active Logitec computer speakers
directly to the DI computer. The sound is much much better !

That means:

- the tuner pcb is broken or
- the speaker are bad (unlikely, will test to plug in the pc speakers to the amplifier baord) ) or
- the cables are bad (they look pretty cheap) or
- EMP due the cables and speakers are right next to the computer
maybe ferrite will help ... I will check that

I also informed JJP tech team.

A friend of mine had this with aftermarket speakers where the membrane from one speaker went loose. He glued it and okay .. also an option .. that means while playing unplugging one speaker after the other.

Do you have a ground loop isolator on it? If not, that would be worth trying.

If memory serves I was messing around with the app then as well.

A lot of us have issues so it will be interesting what is causing it. Lots say it's the update. I'd like to know if anyone has perfect sound as after the update its definitely not always clear and clipping occurs frequently.

My guess is there should be a fix.

#214 6 years ago
Quoted from hank527:

"Clipping" is the word I'd use to describe it as well. It's an audio mix issue, and some sounds are creating that audible distortion.

I definitely notice it more with the latest update. This is not game breaking and I'm sure can easily be adjusted in a future update.

#215 6 years ago

My sounds is clipping a lot and seems inconsistent across the board. Effects will be very loud and music low and then it switches around. I;ve look at the speaker connections and everything seems fine. Wondering if it's a wider problem?

Mine was fine before the update. I think its the update and wish it would get fixed

#217 6 years ago

Some great new music and lighting in 1.50 at some point I hope they ditch the “Crazy” call out and lose the emoji music.

Completely disagree on the crazy callout. It's the best.

#219 6 years ago

Both my dialed In and The Hobbit have the audio clipping. This appears to be a JJP thing that they should be able to figure out in the programming. Seems like audio clips stepping on each other instead of waiting their turn. I wonder if WOZ does this too. Anyone out there have a WOZ who can report back on this?

#220 6 years ago

I also hear cabinet vibration from bass frequencies when I was volume over 25... anyone else ?

Stepping on each other is okay as long as the output is regulated so the product of the two or more sound bits don't exceed the maximum and clip. That's not happening, but it could be fixed in software.

I have no sound issues on my di but my buddy had a simmilar issue on his hobbit and it ended up being a loose connector.

Quoted from woody76:

I have issues after the update. I checked the cables and that's not it. I think some of us who have played it on the older code notice it now as it is different now on 1.5. I think way too many of us have these issues.

Someone should grab the audio and post what we are talking about.

#224 6 years ago

Installed 1.50 fine. Just having problems with connecting with the App. Left flipper being pressed on both after I start a game. The app just sits on 'connecting to dialed-in'. Any ideas?

#225 6 years ago

Did you erase the previous app and download the newest ?

LTG : )

#226 6 years ago
Quoted from LTG:

I never even had the old app. Game is brand new as of this week. To be thorough, I deleted and re-downloaded anyway. Still no luck. It gets past 'Searching' but just sits on 'Connecting'.

#227 6 years ago

Is your bluetooth dongle present? It has been reported as missing in some games.

#228 6 years ago
Quoted from crwjumper:

I asked Ted about this, he said they did this on purpose, so it sounds like the newscaster is in the background when something else is going on. I don't like it, but he hasn't gotten any other complaints/comments that I know about.

Check your usb extension cable isn't half hanging out of the bottom of the computer in the backbox, mine was and another UK owner who received his machine at the same time. Someone was a bit keen when tidying the cables with cable ties.

I'm totally cool with it as long as they fix what seems to be clipping. There's no excuse for clipping in essentially a PC game in 2017. Regardless of whatever retarded levels users or operators put on the setup screen, the software should manage overall combined level output constantly before it's sent to the sound output to make sure it's not past the threshold of clipping. This is not rocket science.

#231 6 years ago

So, it looks like my phone has gotten blurry and washed out now. I've already power cycled and it's not getting better. The count down during modes can barely be seen. Any ideas?

Check the cables are screwed in tightly.

Yes dongle is present, I took it out and put it back in to update the Code.

When your game is on, try unplugging and reseating the VGA cable that runs to the phone, either in the back box or at the base of the phone. Does the phone then run through the VGA sequence and fix the issue? If so, you have the same/similar issue that I do with my phone. I'm currently trying to resolve it through JJP. I'll post an update here when available.

My phone randomly goes blank, a power cycle fixes this but it is pretty annoying. I double checked to make sure the cables are securely mounted and I think this is a software issue. Does anyone else have this issue? Can it be fixed with software patch maybe 1.53?

Love this game!

Happened to me once during a 2 player game. The phone displayed garbage for awhile before going blank. My son recorded what happened...

Was really relieved when the phone came back after a power cycle!

Quoted from johninc:

ltg is this recommended?

As far as I understand, the computer in DI is essentially a home PC running Linux. There is no way removing and reseating a VGA cable while the machine is on will hurt anything. In fact, it just sends a message to the computer to redetect the new device. Your only risk would be bending the pins in the plug. Just be sure to put it straight back in without forcing it and you'll be fine. I've reseated the cable about 20 times without issue as I can't stand the phone having ugly colors.
