Weird glitch at mynlocal watering hole...

A beautiful new looking Houdini just showed up in place of the code deficient Munsters that was previously there.

First time on the machine and instantly loved it however I noticed a few code quirks. Then on ball 3 all of a sudden the machine did a complete shut down and reboot in the middle of play.

I kept playing through the night and managed a pretty respectable GC however I managed to get the machine to reset another 5 times and in the process of doing so I have narrowed down what is causing it to happen via gameplay

Turns out the main catalyst is spelling out SEANCE while in SEANCE multiball. - I thought I actually did spell it out one game and that it kept playing but I also speculate it may be happening when spelling SEANCE while in multiball WITH another mode also running. However, it could just be spelling SEANCE for jackpot with or without the mode as I got the machine to reboot by doing this the last 3 games in a row.

I'm not certain if another mode needs to be started or not for the hard reset to occur but it is definitely when spelling SEANCE for jackpot during SEANCE multiball. It happens the moment you hit the last letter.

Has anyone else seen, heard or experienced this before?

Thanks,
F

Quoted from pinballinreno:
Needs a code update.
Maybe the power supply upgrade if the power is low on location.

It is on the Beta code and it has done this at two different locations according to owner.

Quoted from rosh:
please have them send me the logs [email protected] so I can confirm what code this is running, and investigate the issue.

Rosh,

I just had the owner meet me on site. We updated it to latest version and we have been unable to replicate the issue since. Maybe related to magic shop+multiball issue you fixed in latest code.

I am not sure what version it was on before updating other than the owner stating "Beta." (He just bought them.) Can we retrieve logs post update? If so I will ask him to do so.

Updated the code to the latest release and happy to report not a single problem since doing so.

Thank you both for your help!

Quoted from rosh:
If possible, I would still like to see the logs that got pulled off when the code updates was done, as I would like to know what code was on there. Curious as to where the owner got them that they had 'beta' code on them.

I'll ask him to send me the files and if I get them I will reach out with a PM

Quoted from PhantomO:
Winter games would make a fun machine...

For me to poop on!

But seriously, I'd find that old kind of fast but to each their own.

I just downloaded the files. I will send them to you tonight. The machine(s) were on version 19.12.23B

Quoted from Ericpinballfan:
Thats the new beta code in review right now.

Whatever it was it was causing hard resets everytime Seance was spelled with magic shop and/or right scoop being hit during multiball.

Have not had the issue since going to the latest full code available on website

Josh,

Care to DM me your email address? I will send the logs over later if you are able.

Quoted from rosh:
Thanks for the logs. Issue is around the setting for earning a second Houdini Letter for Secret Missions. A setting of 'Off' right now will cause the crash, this will get fixed in the next Beta code release. Guessing none of the beta testers have that setting as 'Off', as the defaults are 4 for the first and 5 for the second.

Could we reinstall the latest Beta and change the setting youre describing to "On," in the menu?

Quoted from rosh:
Yes, set it 5 and first letter to 4

I will test this in the next 2 days or so. Have had 0 issues with previous release and have been really enjoying putting up some scores.

Missed Master Magician by one shot. Argh.
