So is desert demolition coded yet? Looks like there are some some new animations in this update or am I imagining things?

My wife ordered a GNR T-shirt for me through our local disturber , now she gets code updates from jjp

I'm so happy I got in on the LE .
When I first saw the three models , I thought the LE was easily the best art package but the more I see of the CE the the better it looks .
After seeing yellow brick road at my distributor with the sparkle Playfield , I can just imagine how good the CE looks , also with the extra art on the Playfield and the mirrored rad cals , I'm sure it would be a sight to behold in real life .
Congrats on scoring one .

That was one of my favourite things about woz , weak flippers , no hold flippers , ect .
I wish they did stuff like that on more games .
Bring it on!

If they do that before europe opens up tax-wise, i sure hope they make a europe-special edition run.

Thanks Scream, and actually I have mentioned this before, but when I saw the 1st pics I thought that the LE package was the Collector’s until I finally saw the topper.... LE’s are honestly SIMPLY INSANE mate! The LE owners perfectly know that they own one of the most beautiful Pinball machines ever made, I’m glad to know that you’re in for an LE Screaminr.

I agree with what you say about the Yellow Brick Road sparkle PF, I like that detail too, that’s a nice touch by JJP rad cals are very cool too

Cheers Screaminr!

Going to have this made for my SE mini playfield to replace the 2D Slash. Going with 4 inches and will be custom painted. Will let you know how it turns out. Just have to figure out a good way to attach to the playfield.

Won't it look out of scale with the skeleton singer?

i have my LE arriving next week and am living in Europe. Just could not wait and took the hit. Do not think i will regret it. Feeling like a kid waiting for christmas.

The plate says "GNR GAME TEAM EDITION" across the top (I believe), with "SLASH" directly below it.
Better Pic included.

game team edition does not count as 1 of the CE models does it? lol

No. The group got Special edition games.

"GNR FAN EDITION" confirmed. 500 more CE level trim machines incoming.

Gotta bring this up again, since it's not been mentioned in a while. As of 1.13 code, is start song still an "award" randomly from the scoop? If so, please JJP, get rid of it or allow the player to cancel it. Nothing pisses me off more than getting start song before I've built up my multipliers.

I’m jealous

LTG

I have downloaded the 1.13 update and prepared the USB stick to proceed with a local installation and not being dependent of the busy servers, but it's been 2 hours and the update is still progressing. (see attached photo).

I wonder if the game reboots automatically after the update and because the USB stick being plugged in, re-start over and over again with the update.

If this is the case, the auto-reboot MUST be disabled, I can't stay in front of the game during 1+ hour waiting for the update to complete t unplug the USB drive at the right time !!!

No, when it's done the screen will say to remove the USB stick and reboot the game.

LTG : )

I started my update at noon. Its sitting on finishing update for the last 4.5 hours. Any ideas?

WiFi update ? If so try again.

It is a full install and can take a long time.

LTG : )

It seems to hang on installing not downloading. I’m going to try from usb. Anyone point me in the direction to plug it in? My wonka is up front but doesnt look like gnr has it there and i pulled the back glass and the only usb slots i see are taken.

Between last night and today I must have failed a dozen times to get the download to be successful over wifi. It kept seeming to time out and return itself to the 'check for update' stage. That caused me to question the quality of my wireless network, etc and leads to this question - on the Network Status screen (see pic below), sometimes it reports on the health of the wifi connection including security method (e.g. WPA2), signal strength and data rate. What I'm curious about is what the value for strength is reporting - is it on a scale of 0-100 or is it reporting the strength in terms of dBm? So for example on mine, just now, it was reporting 90. If that's strength on a scale of 0-100 then yaay me, 90th percentile. But if the value should be read as -90dBm, well, that's terrible. Hence the need to know.

BTW - unfortunately on 1.12 it only reported those wifi signal-related stats if you made an initial connection to your wifi network during the session. In other words, for a reconnect to an already established connection those values are blank. Tell it to forget the connection and re-establish and they come right back. So, if you are looking on your system and see these as unpopulated, now you know why.

Finally, for folks keeping score... on my LE and using a wired ethernet connection the download of 1.13 took ten minutes or less, and after the reboot, the stage that reads, 'Finishing Update' also took less than ten minutes to complete.

I work for an ISP, and have 1gig download speed. Update took 20 minutes last night around 6PM CST. download was a minute tops. Maybe JJP was getting pummeled after that but I had no issues.

Updating sterns is a PITA. LOVE the wifi update process.

I found a nasty bug in 1.13 code:

During Mr Brownstone I had a nice big Applause jackpot that I hit and still had 3 other balls in play. I got the encore. But the game became locked in an “Encore” feedback loop. It showed the Encore animation on the screen, flippers went dead, all balls in the trough, the audio chanted “Encore! Encore! Encore!” endlessly. No balls hung up. Couldn’t even tilt out of it. The game just kept looping this Encore animation. Couldn’t even enter the service menu screen. Had to turn power off and on. Also sucks bc I had a HUGE game going.

Scorbit bug fix has been posted.

I don't think so, it will be a little taller given it is further back.

According to Karl DeAngelo, another major bug is playing Patience can also wipe out all your album progress. Not quite as severe as your bug, but still a pretty big bug.

Not sure if this was posted previously, does this mean no more SEs will be made? From the JJP site.

Yeah, I saw his stream yesterday and noticed him saying that too. I’ve found a few other minor things as well that I can’t remember from yesterday. 1.13 has at least one or two treacherous bugs in it based on mine and what Karl found.

Has been posted and noted for over a month. They are holding on future SE sales till they can catch up on overdue LE sales.

Left rear of cashbox. Unplug the blue tooth dongle from the cable. Plug it back in when you are done.

LTG : )

Is this the bug I have noticed that when you end a game it doesnt register in the scorbit app?

Yes, that was just on v1.13 and has been fixed in v1.14.

Note that when you abort games, they shouldn't really count as games... but regardless, try it with 1.14.

Well even though the 1.13 bug crashed a huge game for me an hour ago, I managed to avoid playing Mr Brownstone and got my biggest GC yet on it just now.

I agree completely. Another "award" that's a penalty, like the album modes currently (and Slash solo). I feel like you should also be able to cancel playing a song even if you hit the scoop when it's lit as sometimes band members get spotted and you get a bounce into the scoop before boosting. Scoring needs quite a bit of balance in general. It also seems like song scoring isn't reset between songs or something. Games I play more than 2 or 3 songs, the later songs are worth crazy high points, when the first song or two, even with 6 balls locked and booster modes played, score next to nothing. Maybe this is by design, and if so, the single-ball modes are even more worthless because the only big points are in songs, after you've played a few of them.

I’m downloading version 1.14...

Preach it Dr.Joe!! As far as im concerned, this game is shaping up to be a masterpiece. Its one critical flaw right now is the scoring balance, and tied in with that is the ability to postpone start song. Even more so when it's given as an "award".

I had issues with the 1.13 install. it worked fine with the USB thumb drive. There is a USB cable right behind the coin box, no need to open the back box. 1.14 Wifi update worked perfectly and was very quick.

On the stream the other day, Karl said Keith (I think it was Keith?) asked him for his scoring data because he was going to balance the song scoring.

Somewhere in this stream he mentions it:

Thanks - all good now !!!

When did you get your machine .

Can’t believe I was playing this bad boy without a sub!!! Whole different experience, ties the room together...wait that might be the one next to it.

I think this one pulls the room together better with this machine. I ordered one for my LE.

Same thing happened to me. Had to restart the download ( I didn't have to turn off game).

My code says 1.14....

Looks like Duff got his. Lookin nice next to the OG DE GNR

Might be looking to trade my tastefully modded POTC LE for a GNR. Probably the only way I’ll let it go.

If anyone has interest shoot me a msg. No guarantees but it has all the desirable mods and none of the stick on BS.

There’s a couple selling/trading CEs on the marketplace. Sound like these 2 are going for the same amounts

Only looking for a Le, maybe a se.

Sounds like POTC LEs are going for much more. I’m sure somebody will trade. Good luck

Trading POTC LE for GNR LE? That's leaving around 10K on the table. I'd push to trade for a GNR CE.
