[QUOTE="phreaker47, post: 248020, member: 853"] That, my friend, is the most crushing bug of all and it exists on many tables. I had a 450+ Million game going on EATPM, was definitely in good shape to get to #1 ranking on this run, and then... ball lock, no new ball comes out, dead in the water. Yes, all you can do is quit. Similar long runs have been ruined on BOPM, Taxi, Funhouse... what happens is one ball, usually during a multi-ball it would seem, (though on BK i'm also aware of the one you're describing) somehow slips through some wormhole somewhere and goes off into oblivion. Once this happens, as soon as that ball is required again for the game to continue, you're toast. This bug has been discussed in detail... FS has already told us that 1, due to how the emulation works (there's a longer explanation of this somewhere) they can't simply code a "magical ball return" to bring this ball back, and 2, it's not an easy bug to reproduce, for diagnosis. The only real possible fix is to figure out how and why the ball disappears in the first place, but I doubt they've made any headway on this. I think that on BK in particular, one of these holes in the table exists right in the ball lock area in the upper playfield. [/QUOTE]
