Still says to shoot purple shots in Ballroom mode when they are really blue.

Since it hasn't been officially announced, is it possible that 1.12 is still a work in progress?

Likely. I wouldn't call it a stealth release, it is probably just a test build for a specific issue or two.

well, not sure what you (the OP) are waiting for
caming from 1.11 to 1.12 will not change/correct lots of things, as said above just a simple bug or two needing a quick correction (as example the left flipper power off)

now, lets hope a 1.2 code for Xmas/NYD period

I think since there are no release notes he just did this so we can post what is fixed and what is not.
No one is expecting drastic changes in a test code but it is nice to know what it does address.
I'm sure Dwight is much farther along then this by now.

1.12 fixed my weak left flipper issue from 1.11

Has anyone seen this before where Stern releases an update and keeps it a secret?

Played about an hour or so on 1.12. They definitely squashed some bugs, but I've noticed that after draining during a mode that the music and mode dots play for a second after the bonus tallies. Kind of sloppy.

Magna slings are definitely a bit more tamed down. In 1.05 you could adjust the sling power. They took that out in 1.10 and it hasn't been back. PLEASE BRING THIS BACK. I miss my slings being super active and lively. In 1.12, they're pretty low power by default, and you can't change it. Hardly any side to side action. It's really frustrating.

I stilling playing 1.05 because of the change in Magna slings too!

In my opinion, Mass Hysteria should stay reversed flippers until the mode ends. i lost all of my balls because of the flippers being switched back to normal then back to reversed without warning. I feel this is really unfair to the player. When you lose your ball due to something out of your control, then the game becomes unfair as no amount of skill will help you. Again, just my opinion. If it were possible to give you a warning before switching back and forth, then skill becomes involved. Maybe have all the lights switch to one color for reversed and another for normal.

My experience is the opposite, when entering MH the first thing I try to do is reverse the flippers back to normal by hitting the captive ball. If anything I wish there was some fanfare for the mode so you knew you were earning what should be a more than the side note it is treated like.

well again (...), about flipper inversion in MH :

i would too prefer to have the inversion working during all the mode

Taylor : its very hard and difficult to keep an eye on the captive ball, as often, if playing "on the volley", you will hit that captive ball without noticing it...

what we need is a special sound and/or a big visual effect to tell the player that captive ball is just hit (and also about getting the 100th ghost ! as again, the light insert didnt works and serve to just nothing !!!)

and even better, have our own choice in the setup :

- factory setting : inversion going on & off
- choice 2 : no inversion at all
- choice 3 : full inversion during the mode

yep, i know it of course
but we already get lots of others topic talking about code, even 1.12 i think, and also the 1.11 in which we talked about 1.12
than, its becoming dfficult to post in all of these and no repeat same things
but OK...

the answer seems to be yes...
and explantion is quite simple : code is release and upped on their site to be available to some guys for play-testing, and if OK link is than shared to evbd

just received my GB premium yesterday and it has 1.05 installed. Wonder why they didn't install 1.11

The ball sometimes gets stuck in the right scoop if you lock during a mode. Had it happen 3 times playing with a friend last night. Doesn't kick on ball search.

I just received my premium and worked fine with 1.05 code. When I installed the 1.11, the slimer goes all the way to the left and goes into a ball searching mode. Stern recommended going back to 1.05 code.

so logical heh... !?

Amen. Hate this mode...typically ends a great ball for me. The idea of a loud visual effect would be good or a setting to force it to stay reversed the entire mode...like TSPP mystery spot. When this crap starts I just try to end it quickly while preserving a ball.

Makes no sense. That should be a kick in the ass to get a new code released asap...

I tend to get Mass Hysteria during another multiball. This makes getting MH incredibly miserable. Generally MH just ends up as double flipping as I watch all the balls drain (again, infuriating when it ruins another controlled multiball).

I don't know. The magna slings are so lame now. They really dialed them back, which sucks. In 1.05 you can turn them up. I think I'm going to go back to 1.05.

of course, almost to give it a try
now STERN can't say : go for 1.12... as it still didnt exist for those not reading here

This is what makes it less fun, when you lose balls due to the game and not anything to do with you. When I notice it has switched to reverse flippers or back to normal, it's too late, and has nothing to do with skill.

Sticking with 1.11. Not having any problems with it.

It's possible magna slings were filled back due to heat and hardware issues not relating to game play.

I think magna slings work great on 1.11 if you switch the rubbers around on the slings

on code 1.11 PRO version, has anyone ever seen a flipper just drop out period. playing along normal and suddenly the right flipper wont flip for second, then goes back to full power? it never happened with 1.05. switched to 1.11 and it happened the 2nd game played. EOS switch fine and all else mechanically. does 1.12 fix this?

That's the reason I stayed on 1.05 as well. But for some reason I can't find the area where the adjustment is. I am wondering if this thing really is haunted.

Does it fix the time out mode bug on skill shot?

Makes ZERO sense to remove the magna sling control

I'm staying with 1.11 until next update

I personally like the MH inversion but should be an option

Still loving this pin

Hey Vic, I havent had any problems thus far with 1.11. I would hate to have my magna slings have low power as its such a great feature the way the are.

Isn't the mode functionality completely different in 1.05 vs 1.11? As in continuation of modes after drain? I enjoy the mode continuation a lot and this is a big plus to 1.11 for me.

I thought there was a post where they said they lighted up the magna sling power on 1.12

A few people have said 1.12 is less active than 1.11 on the slings?

Got my premium last night and it has 1.12 installed on it from the factory.

Other problem now is that I am having an issue with my subway lock and its giving me errors. Seems like a software issue...

stern cant even properly code their pins. they are rushed out of they factory and cross their fingers. we pay the price.

If it was a software bug then everyone on 1.12 would experience it. Most likely you have a switch or hardware issue going on
