SOF not ejecting locked ball(s) when game over

Strange goings on with my Swords of Fury last night.

Went to start a game and it immediately tilted and I had to power off to get rid of it.

Power cycled again, did exactly the same thing.

Third try, game seemed to work ok....right up until it was game over and the locked balls didnt eject during the usual number match sequence.

When I start a new game, ball(s) stay there and don’t eject unless I lock my current ball and start multiball; then game ejects all 3 balls as normal.

other than clearing locked balls via multiball, the only other way to empty them is to turn power off and back on and then it ejects them as attract mode starts.

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to look? What this could be? Not sure if the tilt issue is connected to this? But not had either issue before. I’m very inexperienced with System 11 as this is my only S11 game. Any advice/ leads on where to look would be appreciated.

Thanks
 
Update - mostly resolved!
Seems I must have accidentally changed the multiball settings when I was messing around in the menu trying to do the switch edge test and changing the magic award to extra ball instead of points. What a donut 🍩
Adjusted back to hard so it now ejects the balls as before. The strange tilt at game start is still a mystery 🧙‍♂️ Hasn’t done it again so far.
