Quoted from rosh:Yes, knicker during duck hunt, target shooting and bumper cats check the settings to be sure it is enabled,
Mine must be turned off. Is each an individual setting or a single for all modes?

Was the knocker an option? I don't think I have one. Went through the test modes...tried mechanical and audio. Turned it on in modes...don't hear it anywhere.

Just got my knocker in the mail. Does it mount in the upper left backbox? I can't find the other wire pigtail to connect it.
Also, what gives extra balls? I earned two last game but not sure how.
Having a ton of fun with OKT. Such an underrated game.
Now I have to figure out some high scoring strategies. Was happy with my 3.5m game until I checked the scores posted here.

Quoted from E_Gpinball:A fast moving ball could rattle on the habitrail, hit the metal guide that feeds the barrel, and then bounce into the spot between the habitrail and side ramp.
Second update on the ball deflector I am working on... I did another test fit on my revised part and I am getting very close. I just need to make another quick revision to it and it should be good to go. I will keep you posted.
updates?
Quoted from pinstyle:Sober is brutal, i’ve gotten to it a few times but haven’t managed to get a grip on it yet.
How do you get this mode?

Quoted from Filimurz:#Ftrmech
Otto’s in Eden, too and works like a charm. OTF is under good lighting and has Magic Glass so won’t be needing to install additional lighting. Josh did excellent work on the new Otto.

Where did you get the keg sticker?
Finally got the Sober mode last night. Missed completing it by one letter.
Fun mode. I wish I'd see it more often.

Quoted from Ballderdash:I really want to own an Oktoberfest but it feels like people are having a considerable amount of glitches to work through or put up with. Is this true for most? I certainly appreciate Ferret being here but unless more updates are planned I worry that these may go unresolved. Is this a result of different code being used for OKT than HW and forward? I think this is an amazing theme and I genuinely want to own one. I merely don’t want to be disappointed by having to troubleshoot rather than play. Are things mostly ironed out or expected to be or is it plagued by nagging issues?
Mine has been rock solid.

Quoted from Ceemunkey:I had to tweak the beer barrel shot and entrance quite a bit on my game as I was either not making it up the ramp or it would freqeuntly fall off the wireform - now it is a LOT better, but I'm getting a frequent hangup where the ball still can't quiet stay on the wireform and falls off the left side - ending up stuck here. Is this a common issue, and is there any elegant solution for it?

I have that happen frequently
Is there a setting to allow more time when choosing a stein? Sometimes when I haven't played for a while I get stuck thinking my stein strategy and it times out if I'm not flipping through the choices.
Just had a ball save feature I never saw before. Had three plunges to try to hit the mode scoop to save the ball.
Not sure how I got that.
Friend printed me this to fix the ball hangup that frequently happens in that spot. Played a few games last night and it worked really well. Only had one time where it deflected the ball off the ramp as it was a super fast shot. Still better than having to take the glass off.

Check post 1724
Quoted from Ferret:Yes, there is: Settings > Oktoberfest > Selection Timeout (applies to both steins and tents). This includes an option of "Off" if you like to use that opportunity to top off your IRL stein.
I can't find that setting. Is it on a later code? I'm 19.10.24
What is the recommended setting for the flipper alignment...above the holes..even with the holes? My flipper tips are pointed at the holes. Was thinking about raising them as trapping up is difficult.
BTW, this is such an underrated game. The code is fantastic.
Quoted from Ferret:Yes it is. I’d suggest downloading the latest code from the American Pinball site — there are all sorts of new goodies since the version you have.
Updated.
thanks

Quoted from FtrMech:Nothing says Oktoberfest like Hofbrau Bier...or Spaten, Augustiner, Paulaner, Hacker-Pschorr...and of course Lowenbrau...but I only had a Hofbrau sticker. Yep, it's the little things...BTW, I am still loving this game!

Do you remember where you got this sticker? I've been looking but can't find one.

Quoted from Ceemunkey:Quick question - are the beer barrel sculpts all fully/uniformly round? Mine seems to have a couple of areas where its a little warped/flat - is that normal?
Mine has a dent in it also.

Quoted from LTG:Does the ball come down the wireform towards the barrel and hop off ?
A couple thoughts. Bend the entrance on the left side in the direction of the arrow, to the right.
Or the entrance to the barrel, see if there is any way to loosen/bend up and right where the wireform hooks on. I don't have a game to check. Probably have to remove the barrel and Mcguiver something.
LTG : )
