Bug Ball through flipper problem is still there

[Mike Reitmeyer]

I haven't been able to reproduce it, so I'm guessing my fix isn't on the PS3 yet. If this is happening on Android or iOS let me know.

Just observed this again whilst playing Monster Bash, the deflected ball has to be in close proximity to the flipped flipper and the other ball, then it somehow jumps underneath the flipper.

 

[Mike Reitmeyer]

So would you say it seems like the one ball is knocking the other ball through the flipper?

Well Caveman up above said Big Shot was a issue for him. So that would be a single ball issue.
For me I would also say it was a lone ball just oddly ending up on the other side of my flipper.
I do think I had it once during a Scared Stiff multiball with them pretty close together when it happened

It's the deflection off the other ball, it looks like the physics are skipping frames so it phases through the flipper (it's so fast it literally appears on the underside of the flipper with no frames showing it passing through the flipper).

Caveman was talking about PS3, which hasn't received the fix yet.

Ah, I thought Mike was unsure if the fix was in yet or not.

That may be a separate issue from the one I fixed. I'll look into it some more. I can think of a scenario where if you flipped one ball up and it hit another ball right away and bounced back it may go through the flipper. Would be timing specific, but if that's what's happening I think I know of a way to fix it.

I'm not sure if it is on PS3 yet or not.

If I remember correctly, you implemented the fix right before AFM and Genie came out on iOS and Android, so I don't think it has made it to PS3 yet.

there is a large gap we see when two balls collide a lot of the time sometimes two ball lengths, i think most of the ones i have had multiball was in effect.

thank you for talking to us about this stuff i hope its not a pain to fix

This is the way I remember it also.
