This is for problems and solutions. So that us LE owners can hopefully correct problems that arise with this Title.

So far one of my biggest problems is the ball gets stuck on the left ramp exit by the hyperloop. This happens at least once per game.

After unboxing and setup it played one game ok. Then after that, it will randomly select a character, auto plunge, and then just start doing random things, like turn off the GI, turn off the flippers, and generally just go completely nuts. powered it off, let it sit for 30secs, then it wouldn't boot back up. Unplugged it, and now it boots. But still has random problems. Thought it might be a switch problem but switch test reveal nothing, everything works. Tried updating the code, and that didn't make a difference either.

In contact with Dist, and Stern. Awaiting TS support. No resolution yet.

Next problem, ball trough issues. Drained ball not sensed. This could be due to the previous random electronics issues, but seems to be a standard problem with Stern. Ball drains, not sensed, goes into ball search, repeats.

Reseating the trough connectors appears to clear the problem for a short time.

Yup tried that.

Reseated but didn't check the pins. will check when I get back to it.

Hadn't noticed that. But yeah it is kinda odd.

This is supposed to be a thread about problems on the machine, not personal issues with the title.

I was told it was a bad wire form ramp. It shouldn't bounce out after coming down. I would call stern.

Returned the machine, and got another one.

Been running .92 since it came out on my LE, no issues yet. Just scored a 1.5B game.

Just want to add this here incase any of you missed it.

So I installed 1.0 in my SWLE and played today.

Had a software bug where while playing I got the hyperloop hurry up lit, and the tie fighter assault lit. Finished the Tie assault, and then immediately shot the hyperloop. Ball went around the hyperloop, GI went out, flippers died, and all I could do was select a DeathStar Mission, and watch my ball drain.

Don't forget if you run into a software problem to email [email protected]

Yes it's a software bug, for some reason it thinks you want to start the DS mission, so it starts the select mission sequence. They know about it and are working on it.

Well that's why I haven't noticed it. I can't hit that damn shot. I can't hit the Hyperloop, but once in 20 games. It's the only shot I constantly practice and constantly miss

I got an LE

New code just came out, sounds like they implemented a fix for this. However from reading teh update notes, it sounds like this will still happen, but it will send a ball to the shooter once it drains. Not exactly the fix I would have wanted, but at least getting a ball back after it drains from mission select being activated during a hyperloop will piss me off less. Installing the new code today so we shall see.

Ok new code installed. Didn't have the hyperloop, tie fighter assault, mission select ball drain issue.

But what I did get was this.

Death Star Mission select ready,
Hyperspace Loop Ready,
Tie Fighter Assault ready.
Hit Tie Fighter, completed Assault mode, shot the deathstar.
Ball loops around hyperloop 2-3 times, then stays in the Deathstar.
Mission select missing, ball not returning.
Ball search then released the ball from Death Star.

Also I've started noticing planking on the play field appears to be inline with the wood grain, approximately 1/8" apart going the full length and width of the playfield.

I too have noticed hyperloop slowness with the new code.

I guess I'll have to play R2 more. I get stuck Playing Han most of the time.

Sorry no picture at this time, but I got tired of hearing the metal clunk sound when the ball transitions to the wire form on the right side. So I removed the wire form, and put some small rubber hose on the ends of the wire form that engage into the metal ramp bracket. Not more rattle noise. I guess you could also use some wire shrink on the tips of the wire ramp.

Just put a ring between the posts I'm really hating the left outlane myself. Still haven't destroyed the Deathstar. I can typically get one or two shots to the hyperloop in a game. I just keep practicing that shot, but no love so far.
