Quoted from Tuna_Delight:

1. I have my game playfield set at 6.5 degrees +/- slope.
2. It appears from looking at my game that you'll need to remove the upper playfield in order to properly access/service the orbit gate near the Maude lanes.
3. Yes - adjust the leaf switches as they're not meant to be difficult to activate.
4. Try more power and see what happens. Otherwise, have you checked for a possible obstruction (loose nut, wire etc.) that may be hindering the ball from consistently being kicked up? You'll need to remove the 10 or so nuts on the underside of the game to detach the bowling mech inside the game to inspect it.
Hope the above is helpful Dude!

Which one?

Quoted from KoenHeltzel:

We are happy to release code update 0.56 for The Big Lebowski™ Pinball!
This update focuses on bugfixes, audits and various small improvements.
Download / changelog:
https://www.dutchpinball.com/the_big_lebowski_pinball_software
Special thanks to timlah79 who did a lot of bug hunting, suggestions and testing!
After the last few important game improving updates (0.54, 0.55, 0.56) we are now re-grouping our extended code team (incl. sound engineer and animator) to work towards a feature complete version 1.0 which will have a lot more gameplay improvements and of course the wizard mode "The Dude Abides".
Because of the work involved this will take a while, I will try to give some (textual) updates in between.
If bugs are reported and fixed in the mean time it's possible we will do one or more small code updates although we will focus on the big 1.0 update.
Thank you for your patience and contributions,
- Koen

Quoted from Joost996me:

After the update I have some problems with the Jesus VUK. Often fails to reach the upperplayfield and takes till ten attempts to reach it. Was sometimes the case in the previous version, but worsened...
Someone got some suggestions to tweak this?

Quoted from KoenHeltzel:

Hello everyone,
Just before Christmas we are releasing update v0.58 containing bugfixes and improvements that are separate from the v1.0 development which will continue in the coming months (but is worth the wait we hope).
The download and changelog for v0.58 are here:

Wishing you a happy holiday season and all the best for 2022,

Quoted from CaptainNeo:

anyone else having more problems with the ball firing up to the bowling area with the new code? After the code update, I noticed my ball feeder has to fire like 7-10 times to get the ball to load. Before the code update it was only 1 maybe twice. Less power to the kicker now?

Quoted from CaptainNeo:

my bowling window has been perfectly flat since i've owned the game. I'm wondering if something is in the track where the plastic sits? or the playfield warped slightly? did you take it out completely and inspect the ridge to make sure no debris landed in there?

Quoted from Rensh:

I think the solution here is not to change ballgate behavior but to make sure a ball coming down the Donny lane doesn’t go SDTM. You are sure you are horizontal level and at a 6.5 degrees pitch? If yes, have you tried bending the ball guide just a little?
