Let's throw zombie deer in there... Random drew 1 zombie deer site and 1 duplicate.

This is a 3 trek (15 sites and 3 bonus rounds) random from all skill levels. It's a high score tournament, play as many times as you want and the highest score takes it.

A few caveats:
Everything is free from the coinop account to the play. There is no cost to this. Once you add this tournament to your game you cannot remove it until the tournament is over. This tournament lasts for one week so it will be on your machine for one week. Also, I set the costing to it's lowest level, but it still wants $0.25 to play. Maybe run a $100 bill through the machine. There are no actual charges to play, just a quark that it needs some coins in to start. Or you can just hit the coin actuator on the coin mech a few times, however you want to do it.

Back on track...

Need a little tech help possibly

When playing the game, there is lag at some points.

Most notably when A doe is shot, the game introduces lag in the graphics and the bucks are harder to shoot, the bucks look glitchy at this point almost as if the graphics card starts to lose frame rate .

Anyone else having graphical issues with their game?

Which game do you have? Pro, open season, hd, reloaded?

Regardless, I would start by reloading with the most current software to see if that cures it. If not, then it's time to look at the motherboard for bulging capacitors.

Does your game have a dedicated graphic card? Are the system/cpu fans all working?

I have an hd reloaded with an hp elite desk computer with a dedicated graphics card. It has a 4gb stick of ram , I have another stick of ram on order, I have temporarily turned the pc upside down and removed the side of the case and installed a faster case fan, and I turned up the power of the cabinet fan all to increase air flow.

Okay. I would keep an eye on the graphics card to make sure it is not over heating.

Do you leave the unit on 24/7? If so, have you tried a power cycle?

The game gets turned on for only a few hours every other day

We need to get more people playing in the tournament...its a lot of fun, but not so much when you are the only one playing, which was me last week!

Doesn't cost anything and is fun...cant beat that!

Thanks again Jalpert for setting these up!

Ed

I've been joining tournament but not playing. Been meaning to and will again soon.

I think I mentioned I've been in contact with Raw Thrills about more tournament features, but it appears 1 or 2 others has as well.

Hopefully they are listening and we get some simple improvements like max number of plays and a little more transparency into scores etc.

Week 24... with 50% more participation! I thought this was a particularly hard week...

1.) Jalpert - 27.023
2.) Turbo20lbs - 26,442
3.) eharan - 24,700

jalpert, thanks for continuing to do this. i think the people that participate really like it.

for the rest of you, if you are thinking about getting a new buck hunter be aware that like everyone else, there is now a backlog of new orders. we will have a few panoramas in july and then some 43" mini coming in august. if you wish to secure one of these let me know.

thank you

Hey Jalpert...thanks again for setting these up but you have the results backwards! I finally beat you this week...nice try on stealing my win!

Regards
Ed

It would be great if more people participated. Its a lot of fun and another reason to justify the monthly fee!

Jalpert...I love the new graphic you created for the tournament!

Wow. Okay. I must have pulled the scores from another tourney!

I’ll take a look.

And…. You are 100% correct.

1.) eharan - 28,022
2.) jalpert - 25,762

Right scores, wrong people .

Thinking about selling my BBH Reloaded. With 55 inch screen. Anyone interested? What's it worth in like new condition.

For what it’s worth I sold mine in Canada for about 5700 usd for a pano (not reloaded decals but upgraded software) with no tv. In Canada there’s a bit of a premium on pins so that price might be slightly high.

This is really great! The tournament thing seems to be working well!

We have actual stock of BBH for instant ship, which has been a challenge as of late, so if anyone is in the market please let me know. These are much better in a home than in a warehouse!

I've seen people ask for BBH Pro upgrades before, not sure what dongles these are, but they don't come up for sale too often.

If anyone was getting a little stutter or lag from the update a week or so ago, there is a new update that addresses it…

When I created the tourney last week, I got a web site error after I submitted. I hit the back button, submitted again and it worked. However, it created the same tournament twice and I played the wrong one on my machine. So, I played, you just couldn't see me.

Close scores...

Apparently it's a new feature to mix guns/bows in tournaments. I'm sure there was a tick mark, but this tourney has a mix of guns and bows. Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing.

My game just updated itself to the latest code I believe 2 days ago... I’m still experiencing lag in this way ...

Anyone that has the latest update:

Could someone please do me a favor... play the game 1 or 2 player on CASUAL, select any animal to hunt, shoot a doe, after shooting the doe watch for the other animals to lag or glitch, please let me know if you get similar results.

the animals on my game after shooting a doe immediately begin getting laggy or glitchy, they do not lag or glitch if I hit bucks or critters. This resets with each site, not an ongoing experience, but will occur each time I shoot a doe on casual.

Any pinheads going to the world tournament this year?

The BBH community is AMAZING. I know why you can't qualify from home, but I wish you could. Even if you don't play, they are very excited about people going out and hanging out.

i will most likely be there
