multi-use ball saver which is 25% of (TARGET_GAME_TIME - player_game_time).
The third and beyond will have a multi-use ball saver which is 50% of
(TARGET_GAME_TIME - player_game_time).

code code code!!!!!!!!

I was looking through the rules and the mystery shot list has a video mode listed as one of the mystery rewards. I’m wondering what it might be but could be cool if it’s a AFM throwback style.

First game and there are a lot of new callouts in this one. Hopper is workin over time. I think there was one time it was talking about demodogs though when it was the demogorgon that was actually ready.

How's this compare to Elvira HoH for those that have played both? Debating between the two as my next purchase.

This is the Stranger Things club. What do you THINK we think is better?

To me probably the best update so far! LOTS of callouts and i loved it!

It had alot of ambiance to the game.

To me Elvira was the game that surprised me the most. I loved it!! Tough call! Of you love fast action game with an ambiance i’ll go with ST but Elvira is more a family game, shots well, presentation is great and this is the kind of game that make you smile.

My 2 cents

I think I’m gonna buy the UV kit with my trump check. Stimulate the economy and all.

Just ordered. Can’t wait !! I hope it adds a lot to the gameplay.

When you guys update, do you use the quick update option and do you verify? I always choose full update and verify. Takes awhile. But I just wanted to get others opinions on it.

Love how the code is moving on this title(and Elvira)it’s really looking good and I’m glad I went with my gut feeling and bought one....good job STH code team

I knew Eddy, Mike V and crew would come through

This game rocks!

We always do Full and Verify. Takes a little bit longer, but this way makes sure your update is 100%. We do this on all our games where available.

Anyone know if they sell NIB stranger things pin with the UV kit preinstalled ? Looks like a lot of time and taking apart the machine. Cool mod but painstaking process.

I’m sure a distributor will install it for you with a fee. I just installed it and it’s not hard at all. Maybe an 1 1/2hr to install, very easy. Also there’s a couple of instructions videos on you tube.

Streamed 0.88 tonight. Tons of callouts. Hopper can't seem to shut up. There's some kids chatter too, and foremost WINONA, I heard her! <3

I had 2 hours of shit games. I really like how Mirkwood works now. The Demodog modes still needs work. The game is not fun when you bring that big cock blocker out.

Here's a long ball 3 game with the shortest TI in recent memory.

Hi guys,
I'm going to install Convolux plastic protectors on my Stranger Things LE but I cant decide what color, I was thinking either blue or red, has anyone installed any of these two colors or what color do you think would look the best?
I am also replacing all the rubbers with titan rubbers, can't decide on what color to use for these either.
cheers
Trevor

Hopper does talk a lot now. I don't know if other people are hearing this but on mine I have the volume set to 10 so really low. I'm getting some strange feedback in the back box speakers on some of hoppers call-outs. Not all of them just a few when his voice is really deep. it kind of sounds like the speakers are being overloaded but I'm not sure how that's possible

Hey chuck, I saw some pics of someone who installed the glow in the dark rubbers on their machine with the UV kit installed and it looked so badass!! I have the clear also and I’m gonna switch to glow

I will note that my machine is also a pro with the stock speakers. I have not messed with the audio settings other than volume yet. I'll take a look at that. Seems to me like some of the audio clips are clipping causing the distortion. May not hear it on higher end speakers.

I also noticed that some of the hopper speech is really clear while others sound broken up. I am going to reinstall the code today to see if that changes anything.

Purchased on Wednesday few things wrong on startup. Left ball lock rod under ramp not releasing the ball. My fix was to add two small spacer washers to each of the 3 screws holding the coil to the Playfield. So far so good. Next problem the telekinesis ball lock. Adjusted as per chuckwurt PDF file. Now works 100%. Thanks chuckwurt. Adjusted left flipper 235. Right flipper 230. My pitch is 7.0 bubble is centered. The demo shot is hit 50% of the time. Might just be my bad pinball skills. Last problem is the mystery gate(under left ramp). The ball gets stuck there often. Any solutions. I’m thinking of bending the gate some. Very happy with this game. I can’t stop playing it as it really draws you in. So much fun.

On a lot of games, including mine, the gate comes loose and causes balls it get stuck under there. Need to put it back in position and bend it out a bit so it stays. Once I did that I didn't have any more issues.

Thanks...I will give it a gentle try. Just don’t want to snap the gate.

It seems like a lot of the audio callouts are on different volume levels. Some are clear and some are so low that are inaudible almost. Anyone else ?

If I remember right, Star Trek was originally terrible with this, but they were able to balance them well in a code update. Hopefully that will happen here too.

If they'd let me into Pinball Browser I could fix all of these

Does anyone have any cool instruction cards yet?

Of course, and match levels, EQ and compression etc... I'm an out of work Audio Engineer at the moment, but hope to be back to work middle of next month.

I like the ones it came with. Stern seems to have finally given up the plain yellow ones.

Definitely better than the plain yellow ones but just looking for a bit more myself

I took everyone’s advice and ordered the UV kit from stern.

It’s the tits!! Just installed it today with the new code. Wowzers!!! This game is so addictive!! Love the new callouts

I'm having alot of trouble trying to download the new from stern. Been trying all morning.
ll my other internet and download items are fine. Anyone have any advice or having the same issue?

Its actually getting the file from stern site..cant even get to stick level!!
