Quoted from Jediturtle:It seems like it can't be code or all pros would have the same issues, and they do not. Sucks he's having issues, but I do not see how it could be code related.
I'm not the only one seeing the problems and I'm glad to know that that I am not. I've had a number of messages outside the forum about it. My guess is most people are just not noticing the issues. I also play in a very specific way that I don't see people doing on the streams which would certainly show the issue more often.
I can tell you exactly what is wrong with the code.
For the double up post pops... There is very little debounce of the 2 optos at the up post so if the ball hits it fast and bounces back the code gets confused and does a release.of the up post without the flasher and sound effects. Some time s the ball can sneak past if it's moving fast. The code needs to be able to handle the ball bouncing back and triggering in this way
For the double word completion/ word completed demo start situations... There can be some crazy spin on the ball which can cause the ball to bounce around under the demo sometimes. I notice this a lot because I like to sneak past the drops constantly. I'll never attempt to clear the drops. If the ball is spinning or moving slow through the under demogorgon area it can cause a double trigger. Simple debounce fix here as well or even to ignore a second demogorgon exit opto when nothing else has been triggered
The only issue I am still having trouble finding a physical issue that could be fixed by code are the missed triggers. I've seen it with the demo exit opto and mystery target. This issue is not as common in the last 2 releases and may have been fixed.... Now that I say that I'll see it lol
Stern has been no help with these issues. I have spent hours studying slow motion video, regular play video, and testing. All of this info sent to stern. Not to mention taking the machine apart more times than I would have ever have liked to. I'm convinced the top 2 are code issues now. Engineering is still yet to get back to me on the switch test problems.
