I recently joined the club and absolutely love this game. After a few hours of playing, I noticed a few things that needed to be adjusted and made a video tutorial regarding these tweaks in case anyone else was having the same issues. I wanted to say thank you to everyone who posted about these fixes here in the thread and I hope this helps others dial in their machine. Take Care and Stay Safe!
Quoted from BeeGeeMtl:I joined the Club last week by purchasing a Premium that had been sitting in the Ottawa P1G warehouse over the pandemic, very happy to have made the purchase so far. The game is a lot of fun, easy to shoot and lots of depth and modes and multi-balls, just what I like.
A couple of small issues though, wondering if others have had the same problem.
1) When the ball rolls down the left side orbit sometimes, it bounces off the top of the bottom entrance post from the JUNK/TRUNK area and sometimes goes directly between the two flippers/drain. Most of the time it lands directly on my left flipper and avoids that post, but about 20-30% of the time, it bounces off the post and messes shit up. It feels as though the railing coming down the left orbit might need to be curved a little bit? Any suggestions?
2) This one I just noticed a couple of days ago. During modes, I was NEVER able to see_ the right orbit INSERT LIGHT (the big triangle one) lighting up because the BEAST BOOSTER spinner is in the way. I guess it's because I'm short and can't see over it? But I can't see through it either. Wondering if anyone knows of a see-through spinner that can replace the current one (if I can see through it, I can see the insert light) OR maybe someone can work on a mirror mod to be placed on the right of the crypt which would allow anyone to see the lights lit up behind the spinner?
That's it for now. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Check out the first part of this video I just put up. It address how to adjust the left orbit ball guide.
Quoted from Indusguys:Hey guys having some opto issues and wondering if drilling a larger hole on this side of the plastic tunnel will help. I just can’t get the Opto lined up because the plunger keeps rubbing it a little and moving it out of position.

I had that same issue within about 10 mins of unboxing my game. I was able to readjust it but if it does it again, I am going to enlarge that hole with a drill but just a tiny bit. Was thinking the same thing.
Quoted from PinMonk:DO NOT pay for the Stern brand coil stops, they're crap. You can probably get a few free as warranty replacement, but they will do the same thing as Stern has been pushing out crap coil stops for the last few years.
Save yourself the future headaches and just get the $4.95 pinball life ones that actually LAST.

Exactly. I ALWAYS change them when I get a new pin. I made a tutorial about this as well.

So tonight I went to play a few games of Elvira before watching some TV and low and behold my machine would not boot (It is less than 1 month old). My stadium lights were getting power and the board had several red LEDs but nothing else. After ruling out the power issue I did some research and it appeared to be a corrupted SD card. So I spent the better part of an hour downloading software and flashing it to a new SD card. Also took a detour into issues related to only half of the memory showing up on the newly formatted SD card and sorted that out. Flashed the software to the new SD card and everything is up and running again. Turns out is was just a SD card that went bad. I am going to put together a video tutorial on how to do this and will upload it here once available just in case anyone comes across the same issue.

They are homemade playfield lights. I like playing pins in the dark and build them for all my pins. You can adjust the color and intensity of the lights but they are not tied to the flashers.
Photo May 09, 12 50 53 AM (resized).jpgPhoto May 24, 9 27 35 PM (resized).jpgQuoted from BeeGeeMtl:I purchased my Elvira Premium 3 weeks ago and have played it almost every day since.
Last night, the left flipper started flaking out on me and when I looked under the playfield, there were "metal shavings" galore under the left flipper -- none under the right flipper.
This same shit happened to my DEADPOOL Pro (NIB) within the first month of my purchase a couple of years ago. At the time, they replaced the "bracket/coil stop" at the end of the coil and said that Stern used crappy brackets. Sigh. Worked fine after that.
Can someone confirm that this ELVIRA issue is likely the BRACKET again here? (thankfully I purchased 3 of them at the time, so I have some in stock at home)
I'm a newbie and have never replaced anything under the playfield but this one looks "easy", is it? (just remove the 3 screws off the previous bracket and replace with new one?)
This has happened on all 3 of my NIB Stern pins (Deadpool, Jurassic Park, and Elvira). I always replace them with the coil stops from Pinball Life. It was the first thing I did after playing my first few games on Elvira. I made a video about it since it was such a common issue. I hope this helps.
My SD card on Elvira failed a few days ago so I decided to make a video on how to burn (flash) a new SD card. For anyone experiencing this issue, I hope this helps. For the record, I love this game and can’t wait to play the new code released today. Lots of good updates.

Quoted from jandrea95:Just ordered a bunch of coil stops for my games, I think ive just been lucky, but dont want to be dead in the water should they go.
Also, ive said it before but your how to vids are the absolute best. Super well explained, etc. I leave knowing exactly how to fix things (or at least it feels that way!). My wife and I were amazed at how good your son is, good to see kids playing.
Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it. I have been trying to put up videos as often as I can and I am always asking myself, “I wonder if anyone else is having this issue.” If the answer is yes, I always try to make a video to share with others. My son doesn’t play nearly as much as I do but throws down some monster games out of nowhere then walks away to play fortnite for 4 hours I’m looking forward to entering him in a tournament sometime soon. He keeps asking.
I just finished an updated tutorial regarding the VUK. If anyone is having issues with the consistency of shots fired from the VUK, this may help. This is an update to my previous game adjustments video for EHOH.
How to fix the VUK:
Game Adjustments (ball guide, crate, and VUK)
Quoted from jandrea95:Said it before and will say it again. Your videos are great and super easy to follow. They are very much appreciated.

I believe so. I played and beat the mode with the date of Dec 23rd and nada. Switched the date to Dec 25th, beat the mode, and the Easter egg popped up. Was bummed that the deadhead was in the way of the video but it was still really cool to see. I wonder if they will remove it in the next game code update. I was snooping around in pinball browser and there are tons of callouts I have not heard yet which makes me think there is more stuff on the way. Finger crossed.
