Quoted from PinMonk:
I don't know offhand. Put the game in switch test mode (make sure the coin door interlock switch is pulled out or they won't work) and depress each switch. That will tell you if they work, and also give you the name of which switch is which on the screen.
In your picture the one on the right has a pretty sharp bend in the middle post on the switch. These crappy newer Stern switches are pretty famous for breaking off right at the casing. If that switch at the right doesn't register, or only registers intermittently, I'd look more closely at that.

Ok, I will look into that! What's crazy is that after messing under the playfield and moving stuff, this thing lets me play a few good games, then everything goes bad. on the testing the ramp mode. It used to show me "93" failed but it hasn't failed on test. I am calling Stern again tomorrow. Hope they know what it is. Thanks again!

You can probably figure this out just with switch test and wiggling things to narrow down the actual problem.

Quoted from tk375:
I spoke too soon...
I looked at all the connectors and cables and they seemed fine. After lifting the playfield and checking all connections I do the ramp test. Everything works. I have gone as far as testing the ramp 15 times up and down. But after about 6 to 7 games the ramp gets stuck in the middle again.
I see the switches you are talking about. They look good but not sure. Is it possible one is bad? Which one is the "home"? I cannot tell. TIA!

Check to make sure your one way ball gate didn’t come loose and interfere with ramp movement.

There’s just the one wizard mode for now. 2 more to come. From the readme it sounds great. I haven’t played it yet.

The readme mentions lots of changes to total isolation 2 as well. Can’t wait to play!

Why are they making updates to the code behavior on the TK lock? They have to know it doesn’t work right. Don’t they know almost everyone is turning this “Feature” if you want to call it that off.

A lot of us aren't. I want the timing tweeked. Mine works probably 75-80% of the time, and I think timing of the opto to mech has a lot to do with the rejections I do get.

Because one of the issues with it is the timing of the diverter engaging.

I feel like it is more a mechanical problem than a software problem at this point. With software they can allow locks to be counted virtually when the ball doesn't physically lock (I wish they would add this as an option for TK multi ball) and allow you to turn it off completely but that's about it. Perhaps they could allow us to adjust the timing of the diverter engaging but at least on my game I feel this works pretty well right now to keep weak shots from rolling back down the ramp.

Damn good score. You did better then me I drained while trying to start the last demigorgon mode. That’s all I had left to light final showdown. One day I will see it lit! I know what you mean by this game being fun, I have 8 other machines that are pretty jealous because this is all I’ve been playing since January. And I have some great titles like ij lotr shadow TWD prem and Spider-Man to name a few.

Do you have Cleland code in it? If so, then yes way more upbeat. Haha.

No changes to the stock music that I know of.

Also the major changes in this update are to total isolation 2 and adding Send it Back. They are deep into the game. TI 2 is after playing 8 modes and send it back is lit from playing all 6 season one modes.

It does work. if you’re talking about this:

- Fixed a problem where locked balls were being released after completing the
Super Jackpot in Send it Back.

Seems to be a bug fix for the new wizard mode if there were balls locked when starting the mode.

That’s the only mention of the lock in the new readme that I saw.

Yeah I’ve had that adjusted on 5 numbered increments from lowest to highest and never noticed a change in behavior.

I did notice a new adjustment in the current code (or maybe missed it before)

Feature adjustment #34. TK MB lock limit. Anyone know what that means?

I second that. That song was a huge part of season 1 and was also referenced in season 2. It’s the defining song of the show behind the iconic theme IMO.

Unfortunately it’s the nature of the beast when a game comes out with super early code and also adjustment issues. It will develop a following for sure once people get time on complete code, but that stumble out of the gate always hurts.
