[QUOTE="AKrumbach, post: 79957, member: 2018"] I just ran into the 'missing ball' bug for the first time with a game this morning on my tablet... twice, actually, because both times "call attendant" didn't work, but the first time, I was able to free the ball by judicious nudging. Both times I was playing 'puke' multiball (refining my multiball tracking skills) with multiple balls in the upper pop bumpers [i.e. behind the vari-target] area when one less ball returned from that area. Repeated (quick) right nudges seemed to free the ball the first time, as it seemed that the ball was somehow trapped under the right ramp. The second time this didn't work (despite success and getting no warnings the first time, I deliberately increased force until I tilted out trying to free the ball the second time. Stuck on different geometry maybe?) I'm so furious. This game was going brilliantly: "ball 1" with 3+ extra balls stacked, first-ever trip to Atlantis, only a few shots away from Frog Frenzy (my other only remaining Wizard goal), and I was very close to closing in on 1000 HoF points ... [SIZE=1]rassin' frassin' buck toothed flat footin' no-good dirty fillabusterin' tutti frutti varmint...[/SIZE]. [/QUOTE]
