Game Bugs: Ball search on head reset / Skillshot skipped

Post by Jesder »

I wanted to report a couple of bugs I've noticed in the game recently and had a chance to reproduce last night. Neither are game breaking, but wanted to report them anyway. I'm running software v1.19.

1) Game goes into ball search while resetting the head.

I have been able to reproduce this a few times now.
- The head has turned to face 1 for the first multiball mode.
- Multiball mode completes.
- The ball is shot into the scoop. This activates a game mode and the animation plays on screen.
- During this time the game will also use this opportunity to reset the head since the ball is in a 'safe' spot.
- Before the ball is kicked back out in to play, the ball search feature will start.

Considering the ball is in a known position, the ball search shouldn't be needed.


2) Skillshot skipped

I have been able to reproduce this multiple times too.
- Lock 1 or 2 balls up
- Game ends and balls are released
- Press start button before balls reach trough, which puts the game into ball search mode
- If the ball search feature is still running when the balls are returned to the trough, press start again
- New game starts, while ball search still completing and the skill shot is skipped (no DMD animation, no skill shot lights).


There is another bug i'm still trying to track down where a ball will be severed into the shooter lane on a tilt warning. No reproduction steps yet though.
