I think I will leave the coil alone for now and see what Stern says over the next month or two. Thanks for the advice.

It will probably end up as a damaged design, even with fixes. We'll see if Stern does better than just eventually disabling the feature and calling it "as designed" like they did for the GoT diverter issue.

I think I read somewhere that the Le's have two different coils for the flippers. My pro has the same coil for both.

I got to the end of the game showed the video and then glitched and started back at the beginning. Disappointing. Hope they finish the code.

I meant to say they fix the code.

Maybe it’s just heat. Put a fan inside and see if cooler coils keep the power consistent.

Ah and I just got my first down vote for no reason. I feel like I'm finally a real member of pinside...

You haven't truly arrived until you get a downvote from dingleberry. I got an upvote from dingle once and it bummed me out. Seemed wrong.

I'm offended you haven't joined my stream yet you big Boob!

( streamed the new code yesterday BTW)

We used to join streams on Boy Scout campouts when we got bored--oh, wait...you were talking about the internet. Sorry. Yeah...I'll be sure to do that now.

Dri, your black diamond canva looks good too !!!!

[Drunken stream on 0.92 from last night. Forgot to change my overlay . 300M, 2 TKs and TI]

Install fans on the coils... this reduces the fade.

Thank you, sir! I really like how the modes tie better into the projection for each release. Monster hunting is my favorite mode now.

Hey Pro owners. How interactive is the shaker on this game? Worth it or pass for better mods?

Not sure shaker is any different on Pro vs Premium but I added one to my prem and it’s absolutely worth it - integrates really well

So with the newest code .92.0 on my premium I had a customer playing it yesterday and it crashed and rebooted during monster hunter mode after he shot up left ramp and it locked a ball on the wall. Anyone have anything similar happen or any reboot issue with new code for prem/LE yet and if so where is this something mechanical or is there still some bug in the software? Any help would be great, unfortunately I wasnt in room to see it happen just heard the game stop and reboot to main screen.

Ok thanks thought I was going crazy

Change log for 0.92 version:

=====================

during either Total Isolation Multiball rule.
- Changed the 1st and 2nd Total Isolation Multiball Super Jackpot lightshows
by leaving the G.I. lights on longer.

could crash the game.

where the lightshow looked like it was bogging during the last 2 seconds of
the presentation.

Happened on mine as well. I didn't know it till the demogorgon ramp wouldn't go all the way down. The ball gate was jamming the ramp mechanism

I've had 4 reboots now. All of them happened after a ball entered the mystery/extra ball lane

Maybe I don't get the game cookin' enough to confuse it to the point where it restarts on my pro. I've never had a restart on any of the versions of code thus far.

Anyone know what the "Demodog spinning target" in the feature matrix for Pro/Prem/LE is talking about?

EDIT: NVM. It's the spinner for the left orbit with the demodog sticker on it.

Yeah, for me that will probably keep me from ever owning this one. Unless once dialed in they stay dialed in. But that doesn’t seem to be the case. Keeping an eye on this thread.

Love the theme and like the game. But I owned a game like this once, and after a couple YEARS of persistent tweaks I had to get the game out of the house.

Haha! Looks like it's time for a PinMonk power flippers quiet fan kit.

Now that's some serious cooling!

I don’t think I could do that again

Did he say when it would be released?

I am really wanting to buy a NIB pro but concerned about the recent playfield issues! Have any of you had any problems with your pro, premium or LE? I know the playfield will dimple I just don’t want any clear coat issues, pooling/chipping. I’m sure several of you will suggest I get a premium or LE instead of the pro but I just don’t want to drop the coin for one right now. Thx for any advice!

And the pro is a fantastic game!

I second this.

just the typical dimpling on my premium. everything else checks out 100%

LOTS of dimpling (even in areas that don't get airballs like under and to the left of the demogorgon), but no clear pooling or chipping on the one here.

Had a customer challenge me, wanted a finish for his premium that had an upside down look. How do you guys think I did

It’s a tough one to picture, looks stunning in person

Looks stellar! Does it come with UV ink or do you charge extra for that afterwards?

I was concerned about this too. You have nothing to worry about. Other than 10 million dimples
