This is the master issues list for Bride of Pinbot. This thread is maintained to aid FarSight in exterminating gameplay bugs, art issues, and sound problems from BoP.

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.

Latest Updates:

  • Confirmed / Open - Issues that either I've personally reproduced, that so many people have reported that the existence of the issue is not in doubt, and/or that members have posted a demonstration (like a YouTube clip) of the issue.
  • Acknowledged - Issues that have been acknowledged by FarSight, but for which no fix exists yet.
  • Fix Pending - Issues that have fixed by FarSight, but the fix is in testing or submission process and is not yet available to players.
  • Fixed - Issues that have been resolved by FarSight. Note that not all platforms receive bug fixes at the same time, so an issue that is "Fixed" may still be unresolved on some platforms.
  • Could Not Reproduce - Issues that were reported, but the issue has not been successfully reproduced.
  • Working as Designed - Issues that are bugs or quirks in the actual table, as well as other issues that result from design or licensing constraints.

06-006: Camera does not return to shooter lane when ball returns there from play

Devices: Android
Status: Unknown

06-007: Table stutters unless HUD is turned off on older devices
First reported: 09 Apr 2012
Description: On older devices, playing with the HUD on causes stuttering and choppiness.
Cause: Excess processor utilization in HUD graphics code
Devices: Android, iOS
Status: Fixed

06-008: Shooting billion shot causes table to become unresponsive
First reported: 07 Apr 2012
Description: On rare occasions, shooting the billion shot will cause the table to become unresponsive. Ball ends up in shooter lane with no way to launch it into play.
Devices: Android
Status: Fixed

06-009: Ball gets stuck in bumpers
First reported: 11 Apr 2012
Description: Ball gets stuck in bumpers occasionally, cannot be freed by nudging. Reports differ on whether using Call Attendant can correct the issue.
Devices: Android, iOS, Vita
Status: Unknown

06-010: Making the backdoor billion while Bride's face is about to move locks camera to Bride's face

06-011: Stuck ball in Pinbot area causes camera to lock onto Bride's face
First reported: 02 Aug 2012
Description: If a ball gets stuck on the Pinbot playfield, the ensuing ball search may cause the camera to lock to the Bride's face. Attempting to change camera view did not free the camera. Calling the attendant returned the ball to the plunger, attempting to change view at this point freed the camera and normal play resumed.
Devices: 360
Status: Unknown

06-012: Bride's face change causes camera to lock first to face, then to plunger
First reported: 12 Aug 2012
Description: On rare occasions, the Bride's face rotating causes the camera to lock onto her face. If the player attempts to use the plunger, the camera then locks on the plunger instead. Flippers still function while all this is happening, and shooting the ball to the Bride's face will temporarily correct the camera.

06-014: Post-skill shot kicker cannot launch both balls at once
First reported: 29 Aug 2012
Description: If both balls end up in the shooter lane at the same time, the plunger has enough force to throw both of them into the skill shot area, but the subsequent kicker does not have the strength to put both balls in the bumpers simultaneously, so play cannot continue at that point.
Devices: iOS
Status: Unknown

06-015: Score rolls over at 10 billion
First reported: 02 Jul 2012
