Anyone else get this error when trying to download the GnR beta?

Sweet, it's not just me!

I get that error also. I thought it was caused by some weird proxy server or URL interception on my network, but if you're getting the error also, then it's not just me.

I wanted to see what the latest firmware version is. That's where I got the same error. This machine has "Beta Build 20" on it, and I wanted to see if that's the newest or not. Does this come before or after the released version 1.25 which is supposed to be the newest?

I just set up a new JJP G&R machine on a corporate network that has some interesting quirks. Among other things, it's IPv6 only. No IPv4. I'm pleased to see that it worked! The DHCP and other fields are blank, in the status screen, but it's connecting and working with Scorbit just fine, so that's good.

Beta build 20 latest beta and came after 1.25 which is latest production release build.

Anyone see the beta code with the DI Wizard mode?

Awesome news!

What DI Wizard Mode? I thought the wizard modes were already in the game?

Is there a changelog somewhere I can download for GnR Beta 22?

No changes, just updating the updater. More coming though. The change log is visible in the menus with the beta option on.

Is there already anything known what we could expect? Small, Mid or Big changes? :

I am running build 22 as well and in addition to randomly stopping during a song it appears Scorbit has been deactivated. Is that going to be fixed soon or should I revert back to regular version 1.25

You should really follow the discussions/instructions on their Telegram group if you're going to be using the beta software. Short answer is use the Scorbit app to detach, wait a few seconds, then press activate for your pin again scanning the QR code in the Scorbit menu. This will not be necessary when they release the public version and go live.

Where do I find the telegram group

Okay so I downloaded the telegram app. Now how do I find the group?

And if they just updated the updater in beta 22 why are there other ramifications to that such as the ones Trojanlaw is mentioning? I don't personally care about scorbit But he's the second one to mention it stopping during a song since updating, and that is troublesome.

And then the final questions .. what's the recommended course of action here just staying tight? Or downgrade to 1.25? How do I get back to beta 20?

The 1st post describes the process. Send an email to beta at jerseyjackpinball.com, or find Joe Katz on Telegram. There have been no reports on Telegram for songs suddenly ending. But it would be good to report it and get help there.

To revert back, I am guessing that you would have to download the latest full install code on the JJP website. If you email them, they may have an easier solution.

There might be another beta coming soon for testing some other things. Not sure what's coming next.

Okay I just had my first GnR restart during the middle of don't cry... this is new and something that has never, NEVER, happened to me before. Boo hoo.

Something's going on since after beta 20, which was stable and this never happened prior to updating past beta 20. Currently at b24.

I don't know if any of these screen shots are helpful. You can see there's a 2 error trap in red At the moment it went black and rebooted.

Also I stuck in a USB stick and did fetch debug info.. So I've got a 17 meg log dump zip file if it's useful in this circumstance?

I may have found a small bug in the GnR code. With Coma lit and the ball save just finished... a drain down the left outlane will not trigger Coma.

Can anyone else recreate this?

Any word on when its coming to Wonka?

*next week

Beta 28 drop today for gnr and for the last month we've gone from beta 20 to beta 28 just about every few days or week is another beta update they've all been it's just OS updates, EQ updates,scorebit stuff and fixes, and updates to the updater.
But the beta updates are flying out the door lately

Hopefully this is foreshadowing

I didn't realize hell was about to freeze over?

I think it's thawing out.

Gnr is up to beta 30 now..
29 fixed an instant update progress bug
30 working out wired and Bluetooth headphone issues

It seems like JJP may be timing the public release of these updates with Expo.

How do I configure my machine for beta updates? Would love to test them out.

Check out the first post in this thread.

Thanks. Reading is difficult for me. I’ll go back to my corner now , lol.

Here's the cliff notes for you..

God I’m hoping for a decent JJP GNR update. If it’s all just bug fixes I will be very disappointed.

Just installed Beta 30

Had Special option turned on in game with award for an extra ball

This just started working for me on this update with the right outlane light lit...hadn't worked before

Also just noticed a bunch more callouts referencing where to shoot during song mode as well as some added sounds to band frenzy and descriptions of that mode once activated as well as Slash and Melissa callouts throughout the game that I never heard before

Just on ball 1 and noticed the Song Value for starting Nightrain was 140 before starting the song and I'm at 21 million with 2 balls to go. Definitely some score tweaking has been going on I think, either that or just weird coincidence

...aaaand...just blew up the Game with a GC...scoring has definitely been tweaked or I am just having a placebo affect...

Do me a favor and select it so easy and tell me if the lightsl show isn't better than before??

I'm sure it's just me but when I played the song it's so easy yesterday I could barely concentrate the light show was so mesmerizing... I just don't recall that being that way. I mean don't get me wrong it was good but it was extra sparkly all over the playfield RGB.

And I'm really glad you pointed out those other artifacts because I felt like something more was different!

Since you noticed this I'm going to have to check and see if the scoop award for "light song" actually has the timing fixed so it just lights the song now and doesn't start it.

...aaaand.. you just beat my GC of 71 million!!

Holy shit nice catch!!!

Yeah right from the beginning of the song that was insane...
It's funny that was one of my go-to songs if I accidentally triggered a song and it wasn't ready for it yet because it was so easy pardon the pun but oh my God that light show is intense really really cool experience though crazy how that lower half goes dark and just flashes when you hit your shots too with all the rainbows going on probably one of the most unique so far that I've seen up

For those of you who have tried this new Beta code for GNR, can you tell me, has the scoring for the album modes (and slash solo) been fixed yet? (ie is it worth playing them now)? I love my GNR but I think most people will agree that this is the biggest weak point in the game.

I’m partial to this I idea I posted a while ago to improve Slash Solo…adding pinball_keefer just in case there is anything of value here! (https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/the-official-jjp-gnr-thread/page/457#post-7119857)

Cliff Notes…make Slash Solo more strategic by having it a little harder to qualify and improving the reward.
Qualify = x record spins AND playing x songs. Reward = boosting my next song value to max and/or other perks (i.e. extended band frenzy at start, no song choice penalty etc.) instead of just giving points. This keeps with the theme integration too as a great Slash Solo at a real concert happens in the middle of a set and can pump up everything immediately afterwards, hence the next song benefits (should you even make it to another song).

Edit. I just noticed that it's so easy is now hidden when adult mode is off/no. Thanks!

I might be wrong but I think you have the option to hide just the videos for the adult mode right? I can’t remember the different settings off hand so I might be way off.

Same here. JJP needs to start releasing some updates again that expand, complete, and polish existing modes. I'm a huge JJP fan but their code support as of late has been severely lacking while Stern is crushing it in that department.

minor thing, but I Noticed that the custom text doesn’t appear correctly after saving it in the menu as it Cuts off some letters.

Hey, are you on beta 30? Play it's so easy. The new light show for that is so good! Among other goodies being discovered! Production update is clearly coming!

That’s great to hear, will try it out! Thank you.

Same here…

Also noticed tonight - it started scoring with the ball in the shooter lane.. went into switch test and none activating on their own..

If you want to get back to production code and off beta, what’s the easiest and best way??

Download code from JJP site onto usb and install? Can you just install latest production code regardless what software you currently have?

Thanks

You can do any FULL install production version to roll back your machine. You CANNOT use a Delta (partial) update. And yes, load the full version onto a USB using ubootnetin to make a bootable image and boot with that usb to install the production version over what you have now.

Don't forget to do a backup to a different USB you want to keep settings and/ or scores. Never done it but it's what I heard!

Assume those steps are somewhere on how to do that I saw the downloads for the codes..

Thanks all

Top of the downloads page is big link in red letters that you probably missed... It says for help with FULL install click here:

Yes, I went back to their site and in BIG RED LETTERS, I saw that

Thanks
