General bug

Hi !

I saw a general bug / issue after the leaderboards refresh (I've still refered it on Steam forum, but I don't know if Barbie has read it).

Be carefull gamers !

Before the refresh, when you finished a game beating a local score, at the moment where you enter 3 letters : you could go back to the main menu if you wanted to validate your score later (by reloading the table, you could continue the game then enter the 3 letters, then validate your score online).

After the refresh : if you do that, your score is definitly erased. By reloading the table, you have no choice to continue and start a new game.

Back glass cab support

First again thanks for all and any work you do for cab users.
A new request I have seen recent that I think is very valid and would be a great add.
1) allow MP4 and other such format to allow for video on the back glass.

Then an old request that I still think would be the 2nd highest priority from cab users is a better view, many of the current views cut off a lot of the edges, or is too flat and you lose a lot of the 3D depth.

Other than that I am amazed at all the requests cab users have had over the last few years that you guys have addressed and tried to solve for us.

Thanks again for all the hard work.
Here sometime soon I would like to work on a sticky for cab users, with guides, ect.

Laptop crash

I play on a laptop that has an Nvidia GPU, the game was defaulted to use the processor for graphics after install. I switched it to use the GPU for better performance. One thing i noticed is that if i'm using the GPU anytime i try to switch from full screen to windowed the game always crashes and stays in full screen when loaded back up. Only work around i found is when i want to leave full screen i need to go into my Geforce settings and change the game back to using the processor before it will let me leave full screen, i then put it back on the GPU. It's not a big deal for me since i only play in windowed mode but figured it might be worth mentioning.

Walking dead - disapearing ball

Today i was streaming walking dead and the ball didn't appear in the launcher when it was supposed to. It eventually showed back up again. http://www.twitch.tv/aj_aj_aj/v/43533096 Don't know if this is a bug or just something funky went on with my PC.

Hello. I haven't played in a long time and noticed that my high scores no longer show up on the online leaderboard but still see them locally. Did something happen to high scores?

Stewie can fly and shoot but Bertram's plane just goes to the top out of range and won't move

Possible bug in Guardians of the Galaxy

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not but looking at YouTube-videos of people playing this mission the problem that I experience does not happen to them.

On the Drax vs Ronan-mission you are supposed to hit various ramps where the Drax symbol is flashing. So far so good, but after a couple of rounds there is no ramp flashing at all. No light is flashing except for the Drax symbol in the mission indicator in the middle of the playfield. The only thing I can do is to wait for Ronans timer to reach zero so that he gets a punch at Drax and then the ramps start flashing again. After I hit one of the flashing ramps, everything stops flashing again and I have to wait for the timer to reach zero. This basically means that I can't complete the mission since during most of it there is nothing that I can shoot at.

Am I missing something?

Are you sure the lamp isn't flashing on the left orbit (YONDU lane)? It can be obscured by the G ramp, depending which camera angle/orientation you're playing in. In the first part of the mission when you need to shoot the combos to hit Ronan, when you shoot the COLLECTOR ramp, you need to follow it up with a shot to YONDU's orbit.

You're completely right, the view I'm using is completely obscuring that lamp. Thanks for the help, I thought it would be strange if this was a bug since the table has been out for almost two years.

Are you trying to launch via the separate Steam program or via the Steam store in a browser?

Hi Barbie,

Bugs on Biolab were never fixed :

(ball blocked in the cookie jar)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exyzAswQRLQ

(impossible to launch if you win more than 2 extraballs per ball, probably because of the portage from 360 and the visual effect in centrifuge).

I know the team do the best but please remedy. It's frustrating to waste many hours, to finally restart because of known bugs several years ago. Especially if Zen created a thread to list them, but no fix behind. The solution would be to denigrate old tables forever ? I hope not !
