Bug Bal Phase Through Flippers

[dave950lam]

Downloaded the update, but still getting the old ball through the flippers treatment, especially when trying to do a SDTM save. The first flip nicks the ball ok, but the ball goes through the second flipper.

You wouldn't happen to have a video of it happening would you?

I don't have the equipment, or know how to do so, Mike. But just play a table and try to execute a save, and you'll see what I mean.

We'll look into it. Thanks for reporting.

hello,
exact!! i have the same problem..nobody's talking about this bug?

I have not seen this issue during my play or at least have never noticed it. In order to be helpful to the dev team, it would be preferable for them to see a video capture of the event happening or some way of exactly describing to them on how to re-create the phase though to see for themselves. Got any video capture capability? Or, even a clear and still mobile phone video capture may help. At any rate they say they are looking into it.

Hi Mike,

Long time no see, good to be back though.

Unless there have been steps to fix this in the initial release, yes it does happen and usually in the situation described. It can happen a few times a game or very rarely, it's extremely hard to catch. You would have to record potentially many sessions in order to catch it.

This is a rather annoying bug that presents itself at the most inopertune times. I've had it happen quite a few times. While playing Funhouse the ball will phase thru Rudy's mouth and reappear in the plunger lane. No Rudy gulp bonus either

I'm sure these will be fixed eventually but for now I'll continue to play, get frustrated and yell and swear at my TV!!!

Let's keep this conversation focused in one thread, and since the other thread has screens/video, we'll use that one:
