Release Notes do not indicate a single bug fix... that's helpful!

So what's in the code?

LE/PREMIUM V1.05 - July 6, 2018
=========================
NOTE - If you are seeing the ball bounce out of the inner loop after shooting
the hoth / video mode shot, please make sure your center post in the back
of the loop is adjusted flush with the playfield.

Moved to System 2.06:
- Update to nodeboard firmware v0.23.0
- Enhanced center channel clarity.
- Added bass frequency filter selection options: 125Hz, 250Hz, and disabled.
- Added treble frequency filter selection options: 4kHz, 8kHz, and disabled.

It looks like it isn’t game specific code. Its just some audio changes for all their games that they copy and pasted.

Hopefully this helps those people that were saying their speakers sounded bad

Looks like Stern is paying attention to you!

On the upside, I updated and tested everything in game and they didn’t make anything worse!

Yup, I got an email back from one of the programmers that work on the operating system level stuff and he acknowledged that he had experienced the same thing and thought it was a mixing issue and was working on a fix. I haven't tried it yet, but am downloading now and will give it a go. Release notes say "Enhanced center channel clarity." so I guess this is it!

Sound is way better mixed in this updated code. Layering of music and sound effects seems much more seamless. Clarity improvements all around. I’m hearing details in certain things that I did not hear before. Cabinet speaker fuzziness is gone as well!

I just upgraded the speakers. Good timing on this update.

Parting with my hooked on pinball LE rail lights. Never installed. Decided to go a different direction with my premium after all. $99 including shipping ($30 off). Will donate to Pinside.

I’m sure these look great. See the video...

so is your reply.

Ha Ha, good one.

I hope you didn't take it personally. It's pretty standard for some updates that don't have any rules changes or pressing bugs to be avoided or skipped.

I never got around to doing the 1.04 update.
Do I need to do that before 1.05 or will 1.05 include everything from 1.04?

Thanks!

But for the Pro, this is supposed to fix the problem with Hoth shot rejects.

1.05 is all you need.

Is that what this means?
"Corrects the single post behavior in some edge cases. "

Did you call many Stern distributors to see if they are in stock? Good time to ask around for best price anyway.

I was wondering the same thing.
But it was noted by zaphX that this version was the fix, in the other thread.

Gotcha. Haven't had the problem personally because I thought 1.o4 was skippable

Figures, I literally just had that set delivered to my door a few days ago.

So how many different ways could you play this Star Wars? My TWD has been a keeper mostly because of the different ways I can approach it if I start to get bored.. modes, multiballs, seige etc.

Lots! More than GOT and TWD which are 2 of my favorite sterns. TWD code is more polished than SW and both GOT & TWD do a better job of displaying big jackpot scores, but SW does have more variety and better risk/reward scoring opportunities and has faster yet risky progression. Each character has 2 or 3 ways to tackle the game that's different from each other. I discovered a new way to tackle Leia just this morning; hope to test & refine it a little more today. If you like brutality, speed, and diversity; you'll dig SW. TWD, GOT, and SW are some of my favorite pins.

On a side note; does anyone know if you can make the FORCE drops harder to advance letters for the add a ball in multiball? It seems to award a letter for each drop you hit on one shot which makes sense, but I'd like it a little harder like spotting one letter per hit no matter how many drops you get in that one hit. I'll check the feature adjustments later, but just thinking out loud for now

Is there a way to know how many hits you need to add a ball in world multi ball. can you play the world modes to make the add a ball less hits? Seems like some world multi balls you need to hit force target more or less than others.

FORCE inserts light up solid in order F to E as you hit drops. It's the same for all the world multiball; but there's a hurryup timer associated to it; if you don't hit the drops after a few secs a countdown timer starts with sound effect. hitting the drops continues spelling FORCE and resets the timer; if you don't hit drops and timer goes off you have to start over on it.

Looking to trade a MET pro towards a Star Wars,
Let me know if anyone is interested

Typically, I'd agree with you and held off updating my GOT for the same reasons. But I updated to 1.05 today and Man, it's like the best SW update yet! Lol. Sound is fixed and hoth never bricks, locks shots into place so well. Night and day difference for me.

Right, I never did 1.04 so I didn;t have any of those issues with mine.

I never did 1.04 either but I've always had the hoth shot reject and come back out 75% of the time; now it locks in place every time. And my quirky sound issues are gone it seems too.

Will 1.05 update benefit premium owners or is it geared towards pro owners?

Yes. Audio improvements

With 1.05 I adjusted the treble and bass levels to see what sounded best and at some settings I hear what almost sounds as a soggy effect at some points. This would disappear at other settings.

Im looking to trade my Star Wars Pro for iron maiden , Metallica or Aerosmith

I have a Star Wars pro might do something in trade for Met. Im fairly local (Oakville). also looking for Iron Maiden, Aerosmith.

Can someone link the post with how to cue up the Dead Flip video. I can't seem to find it. Wondering if its still in the newest code and didn't go the way of 'midnight madness'.

What is this?

It's a secret code that turns your game into WrestleMania

I can see why they’d keep it secret.

LMAO!

Anyone have a shaker in their Pro? How is it integrated? Varying intensity? On at different times? Thinking about getting one...

It goes off every time you destroy a Tie Fighter, and is more noticeable during Tie Fighter Assault when you are bashing the lock bar button. It will go off during some cut scenes, like destroying the Death Star during the Battle above Endor. It will also go off during the match sequence explosion scene. The Tie Fighter rumbles are not too crazy. I think it shakes most during the match sequence. I think it also may go off very subtly when you make a shot for a mode, though I am having a brain fart at the moment and can't be sure. I find the shaking in Star Wars a lot less intense and better integrated than the one that happens during the beginning of Storage Facility Multiball on Ghostbusters, or Electric Chair Multiball on Metallica for example.

Thanks for the info. I found it pretty underwhelming integration wise in Ghostbusters.

What?! The super jackpot sequence alone makes it worth it on GB!

Still loving the deep, mode based gameplay.

My only gripe is the lack of custom animations during modes. For instance, during Hoth, Endor, Tatooine, etc. the screen defaults to inside the X-Wing until you make a shot.

Having a speeder race in Endor? You’re in space.

Trying to take down an AT-AT? You’re in space.

If the code defaulted to a mode specific screen in between shots, I think the immersion would be much better.

For instance, change the screen to a rushing forest on the speeder bike during Endor, inside the snowspeeder during Hoth, and inside the landspeeder during Tatooine.

Leave the X-Wing screen during Death Star.

Is the default screen really space while you’re in those modes on Endor, Tatooine, and hoth?

It goes off when you hit an asteroid in video mode. You can adjust the use of the shaker motor in the service menu.

Yeah. Once you hit a mode shot, the display shows a clip from the applicable movie.

My point is that the default screen in between shots would be more awesome-o if you were in a snowspeeder, land speeder, etc.

Good points, didn't really think about this until you posted it and your right.

I might install 1.05 for the sole reason of getting @kermit24's 6.5B GC score off my game!
