This is the master issues list for Firepower. This thread is maintained to aid FarSight in exterminating gameplay bugs, art issues, and sound problems from FP.
This thread is locked to keep it clean and focused on actual issues, as opposed to opinions about such issues. Report art issues in the Art forum, and all other issues in a new thread in this table's forum. I will add newly-reported issues to this thread at regular intervals. In addition, each bug has a link to the thread it was reported in; discussion of bugs should take place there.

GAMEPLAY ISSUES:
24-001: Table hangs after end of game
First reported: 19 Feb 2013
Description: After the final ball drains, the end of game sounds play but the UI does not appear. Flippers are nonresponsive and no ball is in the plunger lane; calling the attendant does not help. Chance of occurrence is increased if at least one ball is locked for the second multiball when the game ends, or if an extra ball is earned.
Devices: Android, iOS, PC
Status: Confirmed, open as of 22 Mar 2013, reconfirmed still open as of 01 Mar 2014
Notes: Tilting the table violently will restore the UI after the "TILT" message appears. See also this post for additional recent discoveries.

24-003: Particular soft plunge puts ball on playfield but table is unresponsive

First reported: 15 Feb 2013

24-007: Game loses track of number of balls in play during multiball

Devices: iOS
TPA Version: Unknown
Status: New
24-008: Achieving maximum bonus may award infinite bonus

24-010: Center targets do not relight kickback under certain conditions
First reported: 19 Feb 2013
Description: If the center lights are partially lit (some lit and not others) while the kickback is not lit and the ball drains, then when the center lights are next completed, the kickback does not relight.
Devices: iOS
Status: Confirmed to the extent that something weird is going on and merits closer examination, open as of 02 Aug 2013.
