The service menu activates the red GI on steady. It is probably one of the red bulbs with the short.

same bug again, this time with a video (sorry for my english)
than state here was : co-op game, player 4 ball 3, yellow+green mini wizard played, only red remaining (PRO version, code 1.20)
PS : i did lit THIS IS THE WAY with player 3, that means ENCOUNTERS did work with this player... :/

Send your findings directly to Stern

yep, will do as promised, with a recap at the end of location, 1 week remaining...

I am almost positive someone else brought this up previously. It was quite some time ago.

Finally qualified this is the way but drained before starting, womp womp. Those mini wizard modes are hard to complete for me, I assume the wizard mode is even harder.

The flipper lights are white not red. Can you elaborate.

The GI is two strings of lights. The first string is all white and the second string is RGB. On the pro, there is only red on the RGB. If you have a premium, it could be one of the other colors. I suspect there is a flaky bulb or socket on your left side RGB.

The wires for the white gi are white and yellow. The RGB bulbs wires are red and yellow. All bulbs can be accessed from under the play field. Put the game in service mode and check the RGB bulbs on the string to see if you can get the whole side to light.

Will try that. Will also swap them and see if it continues.

Here is a concise description of what happens. I have a Premium with the metal apron and flipper leds shining forward onto the flippers, which I probably should have said earlier. If I open the coin door, all the GI lights turn off and the message pops up on the screen that 48V is disabled. When I pull out the switch to re-enable the 48V, all the lights turned back on as they should. I enter service mode and all the lights are still on, this time. I close the door, all the lights turn off, then turn on a second later except the left flipper light. I start a game, and it lights and works normally. I don't think this is a bad connection, but a software glitch. It's not a bulb, but a small pcb lamp.

Don't know if you saw my earlier post. Someone else described the exact same thing awhile back.

Has anyone gotten a new diverter from Stern lately? I opened a case 6 weeks ago and heard back from support that they submitted my replacement order, but multiple subsequent update requests have gone unanswered. Pablo always gets back to me and just CCs the service department asking for an update.

I saw your post, but haven't scrolled through every post on this thread to find it.

In short, it appears to be a software glitch. I have a bunch of bulbs that are flickering when I flip, but I hope that is unrelated. 3 on the left side, 2 in the back board, and one on the right side.

No flickering here. Just weird behavior.

You had Ambush and a multiball running at once? I will add this to the things to look at list.

This is "By Design" Your double Heal increases your shot of saving the ball but you only get one.

Thanks

Thanks Dwight!

Given the difficulty of progression in the game, it would have perhaps been better to not loose both "Heal" inserts at once when the "Double Heal" is activated and the ball drains on a side.

I’m totally right there with you. I appreciate the depth of Godzilla but couldn’t possibly care less for the theme and I find Mando to be much more fun. I just keep coming back to it over and over. I think it’s really become an all time favorite of mine. Very glad I bought it!!! No regrets at all!

Yes always nice to see new code! New call outs make the machine fresh again

tanx to you Dwight ! for the reply, & letting us know you will give a look

more call outs! tyvm.

Same thing with my LE.. I believe it's a bug

My game arrived from Stern with two bad GI bulbs that would flicker. I replaced them with Comets and all is good

I haven't delved into the update, but it's awesome to see there's more choreography, especially callouts added. Keep it up Dwight, this game is a real gem!

Has anyone heard the new callouts yet? I'd like to know what's new.

First game on new code new high score!! Next game it thought I was on the mini playfield for several minutes when I wasnt, which was a weird bug.

Xaqery next update pretty please fix the pixelated background image on the bonus count screen. Every game I think how terrible it looks. Thanks.

The home team callout is awesome!

I interviewed Randy Martinez (our favorite Star Wars artist) at CAX this weekend. We talked about all sorts of stuff and played a game of Mando.

Enjoy!

I hear a lot of new callouts and some lamp effects in the missions.

Maybe it’s my imagination but the child award seems to turn the GI back on much faster since the update.

Revisiting Ambush as discussed in previous threads and the risk versus reward imbalance (i.e., the juice is not worth the squeeze).

Perhaps the player could be persuaded to take a chance of entering the ambush with the following scenario:

Instead of being points based, if triggered, entered, and successfully escaped (left-right horseshoe, vertical u-turn, right ramp), the player obtains all the spoils of their victory from those that ambushed them including armor, flame thrower, whistling birds, amban rifle, and a heal. Alternatively, or in addition to, you could receive an additional playfield multiplier or perhaps the coveted 5x which is often difficult to achieve in one ball (at least for me). If you are defeated, you lose all equipment currently inventoried (e.g., armor, flame thrower, whistling bird, heal). To make this work, once triggered the ambush would need to be timed (e.g., 10 seconds).

Played a couple of games and didn't notice a single new callout. Were they just put in the wizard modes maybe?

They are definitely in some main missions..

Awesome! Only had time for a few games so I look forward to hearing them when I play next.

Bunch of new quotes in "Find the Asset" mode (between Mando and IG11) and "Destroy the Imperial Base" (Carl Weathers). Also a few more sprinkled in.

When is the topper release?

Just played a quick game and heard two new callouts.

The light show seems a little different although I could just be imagining that.

Did you try these? I bought these and they are too warm, sunlight seems to be a better match.

Thats great but in one of your recent mando streams you said quote "this game is a turd"?

It's identical to the bulbs on the light board in the back of the playfield.

Felt like I might have noticed a few new things in a few games, but it could be my imagination or crappy memory

- Lighting effect for flamethrower now includes inserts “between” the flippers and the shot arrow being ignited, more obvious how far you’ve gone from right to left when activating

- Encounter 1 Level 2 seemed to have more sound effects of Fennec Shand making contact with stormtroopers, I don’t remember that being quite as obvious before

-Find the Asset had IG11 Self Destruct dialog that I don’t remember hearing before

-Jetpack multiball starting animation seemed to use more of the GI than it did before?

-Ambush light show seemed a little more red and animatic than before (just the white arrow inserts only, if I recall correctly).

—

Thanks. I just emailed comet and they said they have seen the bulbs are inconsistent in warmth on mando. Looks like I am gonna have to replace a bunch to get them all the same color.

One new change I've noticed (so far) that wasn't in the patch notes is the behaviour of the mini playfield in Jet Pack Multiball (Premium / LE models).

Previously, it would sit at a set incline, then when you cleared the shots you would get add a ball and the incline would increase.

Now the incline on the mini playfield continually changes.

Not sure if that's a deliberate change - maybe Xaqery can shed some light?

Yep, I still stand by that, gameplay-wise. It doesn't change the fact that the game is the prettiest one I have in my collection (LE). I was also puzzled by the fact that the Mando premium at CAX had a much lower pitch on the upper playfield than mine and you could actually hang around up there for a quite a while. It actually made a tad bit more fun.

Wow man isn’t that being a bit too harsh on Mando…this game is far from a turd IMHO. What’s so horrible about it to you, the coding or the shot layout or maybe both?

It's the "premium" features that annoy me the most. I have the magnet turned off. The upper PF is just too flimsy to play on, granted, the premium I played this weekend had a much leaner upper PF. The drop-down scoop is just an annoyance that gets exponentially harder to hit the more flipper fatigue the game gets. And WTH in Ambush anyway that locks you out of everything?

The game is also riddled with bugs, especially around the upper PF when the ball just dribbled through without anything activating when the balls enter. Far too many times when you drain the upper PF does the game think you're still in the upper PF and you must shoot the ball back up there to bonk it on its head.

There's only one thing you can play for, mission and multiball stack. And one multiball per ball because WTH has the stomach to nail a hunter, then get the hurry-up and then start to make progress against next MB? One one ball?

I wouldn't be able to complete encounter even if I dedicate my three balls for it. I got to the multiball wizard prior to the code change, I will never see that happen in the current iteration.

My biggest peeve is that the game just gets exponentially harder the deeper you get into it when it should be at least linear, that makes me lose my interest, especially if you bricked your first two missions and a multiball or two with less than 100M on the board. It just makes me want to start a new game.

The beskar is unobtainium, there should be an abundance of earnings to spend with. Rewardwise I only think I ever bought Amban Rifle and start mission. Maybe the one that lights the next mode on the razorcrest (MB or hurry-up)

When you complete the super skill shot, it STARTS the mission instead of just lighting it and you get punished playing an MB without a mission. Completing the super skill should either light it or start the MB + mission to not lock you out of the fundamental strategy of scoring on the game.

Sure, we can argue all day that I can install super easy or what not but I like to play my games how they're set up for tournaments.

Pro is the way to go on this game with the homemade wireforms. Too bad the LE looks so much better and I look at my games more than I play them these days anyway... so, play better I guess.

This is just from the top of my head, I bet I have more peeves if I would be in front of the game. I'll get off my high horse now.

I could it get better by adjusting the exit switch. But it still happens. They could do a software workaround. Because it's not possible for the ball to stay long on the upper playfield without a flipper button pushed, the software should know when the ball left the upper playfield without a button pressed as long as two seconds or something like that.

I really enjoy this game *BUT* I think of all my games (DP, AIQ, GOTG, JDJP), this has the least enjoyable multiball experience due to the layout of the shots being tight and up close. It just plays much better on single ball.

I'm not a big mods guy, but wire forms on the Pro make the whole right side easier to see and play.

I personally prefer the upper playfield layout on the pro. I think it's easier to get skilled at that single flipper layout and the nudging required that I have a good shot at completing each encounter in a single trip. I think it is the odd example of a Pro that has an element that plays easier than an Prem/LE.

I think this game looks great at all levels, and has some of the best assets, call outs, and sound of any of Stern's games

Let's wait for Eddy #3 because I think this is his trademark. Stranger Things Pro without the lock rejects make the game 10x easier.

Yep, no argument from me there.

If you manage to get the balls under control with jetpack or spider and play the upper PF, I think it's pretty decent.

No shit. I completely forgot to mention that WTH are the upper flippers engaged when there's no ball up there? They know bloody well when there's a ball there and functionality to disengage the flippers is there. Same thing when exit switch is missed, ANY SWITCH on the main playfield is an exit switch.

Ok, I'll stop complaining now. I love my Mandoturdian.
