Friend of mine reported this:

"After playing for a little bit, The jack pot lights will just start spazzing out and you cant tell what to shoot for, And a bunch of other lights start spazzing out and dont go away, Its happened every time ive played so far.

it happens whenever you activate something in the sinkhole I noticed"

Yup can confirm, Im the one who reported this. Its happened every time I have played so far after activating a mode in the "Directors Hole" I noticed they will stop spazzing out for a bit like after 5 minutes of play, I think its because I activate something else like another mode, But then it will go back to spazzing out again, Its kind of random but makes the table almost unplayable considering i dont know what to shoot for

[Akos]

I'll put this in, thank you

Report for the "A charlie brown christmas pinball" :

Early into the game, with no game modes active, the ball went down the left drain with the kickback activated and the ball has disappeared. I tilted the table until tilt lock to see if the ball was stuck somewhere on the table but it has only lead to tilt lock with no appearance of the ball. A restart of the table is required to fix this issue currently. Thankfully it was early in the game otherwise that would have been very frustrating.

Another massive bug, After activating Multi-ball, The "Winter" Targets on the left never stopped giving me jackpots, Everytime I'd hit them even with multiball over with it would still give me jackpots

Reported these as well

Letter's to Santa can get permanently stuck on (even through drains). I think this happens if you stack Lucy MB with it.

[Chewable C++]

Game state locked up when I tilted on ball 3 as the ball was draining. Not sure what was going on with the state at the time. Last voice clips played were "everything I touch gets ruined" and "shoot the director hole".

[Chewable C++]

Something odd happened where I drained as Letters to Santa was starting, and I ended up with two balls in the plunger. The skill shot prompt never went away even though the winter targets weren't lit.

[Chewable C++]

Ball got stuck in the mailbox somehow. No way to continue without restarting.

[Chewable C++]

... and now it got stuck in the director saucer after the other ball drained during Contest MB. Had to tilt to get it out.

Then super spinner got stuck on with a 0 second timer, but got cleared eventually.

For that reason, I won't buy this otherwise lovely looking table. Sorry Zen.

Haven't seen it myself but unfortunate to hear. Perhaps in time you'll reconsider, I prefer it to the first Peanuts' table and still playing fairly regularly despite the Christmas theme.

For those of us who haven't seen this episode can you please explain what you're talking about and how this relates to Zen Studios? In the absence of more background info my (possibly incorrect) assumption is that this comment tells us more about you than it does about Zen Studios. For example, i find it hard to believe that (a representative of?) Apple TV said "Charles M. Schulz is a racist" so please can you elaborate?

And that's Zen's problem, why? I don't see "Apple TV" mentioned anywhere on the Charlie Brown Christmas pinball table.

Christmas ain't in March, but this table has recently acquired a new fan.
