I have to say, I'm in the market for a new pin and am very interested in GOT. Likely ready to order one this week. But all these reports of basic QC issues is turning me off. And for a game that was 2 years in the making? And was released in Sept but games still now 5 months later only trickling out?

It would sure be nice to hear from Stern on these issues (node boards, flippers, orbit, etc).

Thanks a lot for the feedback. Great to hear. I agree with you that things will likely all work out. Its just too bad that the game is having this and other QC issues that you would think would have been noticed earlier by stern.

And also, thanks to Capguntrooper for identifying the issue and crafting a good fix. And especially for your service to those of us who enjoy the freedom that you protect. Big thank you from Canada!

Code update (1.22), to hopefully fix some bugs and help diagnose orbit issues:

LE/PREMIUM V1.22 - January 26, 2016
===================================
New:
- Added ORBITS test to DIAGNOSTICS menu.
Allows testing of left and right orbit action outside
of gameplay.

Fixes:
- Fixed an issue introduced in v1.20 in which the flipper power
would be turned off for 1 second under certain conditions.
- Fixed an issue in which the code on the topper node board was
not getting updated under certain conditions.
- Added topper effects.

Tweaks:
- Upper flipper - decreased flip power, increased hold power.

He just did a Q&A video on facebook and stated at the end that they have a fix they are working on and hope to release it very soon.

Thanks for the update.
