Table Bugs

[progrocker69]

So...is this to say that the Buccaneer Frenzy shot glitch is never going to get fixed? It's one of the earliest bugs reported, and is bad enough to flush a lot of work and patient grinding right down the drain.

Not to mention that it's one of my favorite old tables, and now there's no longer an incentive to keep playing it.

Is anyone else suddenly having superscore issues

I upped my Ghost Rider high score by about 40 million, yet my superscore didn't budge.
Also, yesterday i had a tournament bonus of 84 mil. But when I played today my tournament bonus was at first zero, then I restarted which raised it to 9 mil, but still, a long way from 84 (subsequent restarts didn't raise it any further).

This is especially bugging me because with my tournament bonus back to what it was, plus the 40 mil I earned, I should have the crown. But due to these glitches, my head remains bare.

So, is anyone else experiencing this? What gives? And more importantly, when will it be fixed??

Ok, this is the first try :

And the second :

Now I have to find the strength to try it again but I don't really know if that's worth.

On the first, it appears after loked 2 balls kickly on the "motors repairs" mission.
On the second, it appears when I lose a ball at the end of the Quinjet mission (when you have to shoot iron man orbit), and it was the last mission to lite ASSEMBLE.

Thanks for posting these, wims!

last night Doc Ock 'sucked' the silver ball and GG bombs into one of his claws. They then seemed to blow up or disappear. I thought it was going to be another gamebreaker which always happens to me late in a good game. Eventually a ball self-launched from the plunger thank god...

Thanks again deep!

The Negative Zone saver is inactive during the wizard mode. It reactivates once the mode is over.

Went from IG to Spiderman to F4. All 3 of these tables have a great flow & feel. Thanx deep, I suppose I just won't lose the ball when facing Galactus in the future.

Avenger Table Bug

I had a huge Bug , had just 1 Letter to get lit for the Wizzardmode , was just in that Mission . Got the last Letter because i drained the Ball, then the Wizzardmode startet , it begann to eject the Multiball, but just 1 Ball arrived on the Table, could'nt add or change Balls in the Sinkhole, lost 1 of the 2 Balls & the Wizzardmode did not stop ...without Pointmatrix durring the hole W'mode .... tilt & draining did not work ....

because you use the Negative Zone to enter the Wizzardmode with the Human Torch... right ?

During Galactus Wizard mode on F4, I lost the ball SDTM, but had the negative zone ball save active. The hole opens up but you are given a ball out message on the dot matrix and must start the missions over. During the same game, I faced Galactus again, and the same exact situation played out with a lost ball during negative zone ball save. Is this normal during wizard mode or a glitch that I just keep stumbling on?

is this normal for Fantastic 4 or a glitch?

This is going to be completely unhelpful as I can't remember any of the details, but I was playing on the World War Hulk table yesterday and started one of the missions. Just as I believe the timer ran out for said mission I shot the ball up into the Arena section, where a gate promptly locked behind it, trapping the ball completely in this tiny section and effectively ending my game. Had I not been 40 million plus over my previous high score I wouldn't have minded so much, but as it was it was pretty annoying. Made me wish this game had the "Call Attendant" feature of the Pinball Arcade game.

thanks 4 the info

I played the last 3 days on the paranormal table and didn't have any problems. I estimate that I saved 10 or more times during that game, so thanx.

I saved the game without any problem.

Are you assuming that when you save/exit to the main table selection screen, it actually writes your saved game to disc?

It might, but I don't assume that, which is why I always exit with the in-game button since I first read here about saves getting corrupted. It may or may not have actually helped, but I haven't had a problem yet.

I saved the game correctly

I saved the game without any problem. It was when I tried to load the game. The save was there, but after continuing it just kept loading and loading and loading. Maybe I should have waited a little longer, but I actually thought I would not lose the game if I exited the game screen. Perhaps My Modem signed me out of Xbox Live. It is a horrible modem made by T-mobile.

I used the XBOX button.

I don't work for Zen, but I suspect when you press the blue in-game exit button, it runs a "save pending autosaves and exit to console" command; whereas exit via the XBOX button "rudely interrupts" the game process before it can save.

It's possible there are other ways to force autosaves.
