Quoted from razorsedge:I'd say there will be multiple containers...
I think I saw someone say it was 50 per container, about 1 months work. and containers would be shipped when full. Then you gotta wait 3 months (?) for the boat to get here.

Quoted from gb:I am holding out for the boat as well, here in Colorado.

I am as well, it'll be worth the wait!
As for the 2.0 code upgrade, I like that it will be in more hands, I'd like to see it in some tournaments and I'll have practice time on it with my own Mermaid

I selected the full container shipping option back in May when they contacted me to arrange shipping. I had previously paid in full back in October last year.
At the time they contacted me about shipping, they had stated that they expect all Fathoms to be complete by end of this year. Then a 60 day shipping time to Nevada. I don't like spending an extra $1300 to get it sooner, I have plenty of other pinball to keep me busy till then. I just picked up a $1300 Galaxy to keep me busy!

Haggis asked me if I would like them to arrange shipment from Nevada to my door, through Crossroads Global Solutions. They gave me a quote of $595 for shipping, and the date still says early December for game pickup. Probably about a solid as it gets until it arrives at my door!

I received an update from Haggis about my container shipped game. It is now arriving to the states one day early. it then needs to go thru customs then get shipped to PPS, before getting shipped to me. Good getting regular updates from Haggis!

Quoted from paulbaptiste:… My game isn’t usable. You cannot play through a single game nor continue into another. The game loses power during gameplay, flippers die, ball drains..your done. Game will remain frozen indefinitely (days) until you power cycle and the cycle repeats. You literally cannot play though a game or into another game. It’s not usable. It’s not a pinball machine in its current form. Haggis knows this. There are more serious and concerning problems than this as well, but that isn’t valuable to the public conversation at this point. It’s a paperweight. But yes…It does turn on.
When I first received my machine, I had a similar issue. Flippers would die, and it would appear my machine was dead and I'd have to reboot it. It took a little troubleshooting, but it turned out to be a stuck switch behind the drop targets, it would repeatedly fire a switch hit that would seem to take down the whole system. Seems the stuck switch would fill up the switch/keyboard buffer (I'm guessing here, I don't know how this was designed), and not let anything else happen. Once I found the switch, using the switch test menu (which was harder than it seems because it was a bit flakey in itself), I was able to locate the switch and adjust it so that it stopped spamming the system. Game has worked great since! Not promising it will fix your issue but worth a try.

Quoted from John_I:Hard to keep track at this point. Has anyone gotten a game in the USA by container yet? I mean actually in hand and not just on order.
Yes, I got my game #131 shipped by container to PPS, which I then had shipped to me. Game plays great and I'm a happy customer!
See my previous posts in this thread for all the exact dates.
Quoted from badbilly27:I initiate a 4 player game. Play all three balls across all four players. At game end, everything freezes. Meaning, scores have been completed but game won't accept new start game, and lights stayed in final sequence mainly off.
I tested this scenario on my Fathom yesterday, I started a 4 player "Classic" game, played all 12 balls, average score 700k (I was not trying hard), and the game paused about 90 seconds at the end of the game, after the match sequence, before cycling around to be ready for the next game.
I do notice that if you leave the game on for a while, a few hours, it sometimes won't respond, but a power cycle usually gets things going again.
I don't see any code updates for Fathom on the Haggis site, it only has Celts code. It's been that way since I received my machine since early December.

Quoted from Sinistarrett:To change the subject, I was curious about the Fathom Revisited code. those that got your machines, how is it? How does it stack up against the original code etc? From the videos I saw the lightshow looks fantastic but how are the rules?
The revisited code is a nice change up once in a while, it's got 3 different main goals I go for, the Lagoon multiball, the 123 multiball, and attack the mermaids. It also has ball-save and so is better for newer players. I also like the original code and it's fun when you want to mindlessly grind out spinner rips for millions.
Quoted from fastpinball:Question for Fathom owners:
What code version are you running and do you experience the end of game lockup that some describe?
This information is helpful for narrowing down whether or not a certain code update made the issue worse for some.
Thank you in advance!

game code 86
I experience occasional lock ups afte a long session, for example I was in a 3 million revisited game yesterday and the flipper would not activate at a crucial time. Sometimes if you leave the game on for many hours it may become unresponsive.
IMG_0439 (resized).jpegQuoted from Roostking:Have you not read this thread. Thats part of the problem, lack of communication from Haggis.
Every time I contacted Haggis about my game after I paid and before it shipped I was responded to within 24 hours.
