Ball through flippers bug is now fixed

[Mike Reitmeyer]

There was a bug posted on the forums here about the ball going through the flippers. I'm having trouble finding where that post was, so I figured I would post this here since the fix affects all tables.

The issue had a video that showed if you flipped at the tip of one flipper, then quickly flipped the other flipper the flipper would go through the ball and not hit it.

I was able to find a fix for that bug today.

Good to hear!

 

[Sean DonCarlos]

Yay! (And there really was much rejoicing!)

Excellent news.

Very nice!

I seemed to encounter this more when in a multiball mode and flipping when two balls were vertically directly above a flipper. The ball touching the flipper would pass through and I'd hit the upper ball. Glad it's fixed!

AWESOME thanks for the update!

Best news I've heard in a long time!

Any idea when we'll see it implemented in the PS3 version?

I'm not up to date on where we are on PS3 submissions. It'll be in our next submission.

That is great news to hear. Is this fix going to make it into the STTNG update?

 

[Fungi]

Well that's just great. What excuse am I going to use now for my scores?

I have tried to find the ball through the flipper bug, but I can't find it on either my Xbox 360, Playstation 3, or Playstation Vita. I have not had bugs on any system, I guess I got lucky. Know when I was playing Visual Pinball version 8.1 on my computer, I always saw the ball go through the flipper on most tables. Then when Visual pinball 9.0 came out (Destruk) and his team fixed that problem, I keep watching and I'll let you know if that bug gets one of my systems.

You are indeed lucky if you haven't seen ths bug. I experience it just about every time I play. Many times it happens very fast, or during multiball, so you might not notice it unless you're specifically looking for it.

Woohoo!

Or if you're like me, you assume it was your own poor play rather than a bug. It'll be interesting to see if my scores improve any now that this is fixed.

Great news!
This is my favorite thing to hear from you guys. Feedback on the fixes and improvements that you're making.
Thanks for letting us know!

I'll be looking forward to this fix when the Xbox publishing issues get resolved.
