We’re using updated, pre-release Black Knight: Sword of Rage code in The Open. Change notes:

PRO V1.?? - INDISC-ONLY

Fixed:

  • Fixed an issue that sometimes prevented players from earning KNIGHT letters
    from a mode that had been continued on a subsequent ball.
  • Fixed an issue that sometimes kept foreground display effects on the screen
    during KNIGHT multiballs.
  • Fixed an issue that sometimes prevented the war hurryup display effects
    from playing over the mainplay display effects.
  • Fixed an issue during modes where players could sometimes share mode shot
    progress.
  • Extra ball is lit display effect will no longer play if extra ball is not
    lit.
  • Fixed a bug that could sometimes cause the left ball save not to save a ball
    when the player took a tilt warning.
