In Game Bugs

• Lag while server is backing up the database: Similar to version incorrecte, during certain times you are unable to log into the game in your account (although guest accounts work). Any maps exported are lost and codes aren't granted (to retrieve it you need to speak with a map crew member), you will be unable to log into the forums, and removing/adding members of your tribe is slow.
• Version incorrecte: Caused when the server is backing itself up. When this occurs, nobody can connect to the game. It usually resolves itself but in some cases it may require a server restart.
• Backwards loading bar: Occasionally trying to load the game will cause the loading bar to 'load' backwards. Reset your client to fix it.
• Bombs/items spawning on maps that they shouldn't: Caused by a laggy sync sending packets to spawn the bomb/item after the map has played.
• Crash: If a dynamic object exceeds a critical speed the game freezes and eventually disconnects; refresh the page to play again.
• Conjuration blocks remain: Depending on the server or the shaman's lag/sync, some blocks of conjuration may remain on screen and be visible only to the shaman. Other mice will see the shaman floating.
• Font problems: Headings of things like the profile page, map editor code popup etc. can sometime vary in size. Fonts can also appear differently from the usual Verdana on the user interface if you switch from a server such as RU or CN to EN.
• Furs disappear when doing emotes: Due to missing animations, or lag, your fur may disappear when doing an emote and you may revert to the original default brown.
• Hard mode shamans appeal normal on entering a room: When you enter a room, the shaman is always shown as a normal mode shaman regardless of whether they're in normal or hard mode.
• Ice grounds appear blurry when large: As well as the blurr, an odd line can be seen extending out of the ice ground.
• Invisible mice: Sometimes mice can become invisible except for their title. Other times, mice can become completely invisible (this is caused by lag on either your, or their, end)
• Jump lock spawn: Sometimes rarely you can spawn jump locked, in which there's no way to break the lock. Can also cause mice to turn to the spirit sprite and to not collide with dynamics. No known fix on this yet.
• Maps claiming they're deleted when they aren't: Sometimes happens when loading a map using /np or by setting a map as the tribe house. Usually fixed by playing a different map or by simply typing /np.
• Memory leak: While playing Transformice, plugin-container.exe will take up more and more memory and will cause lag. Restart TFM or kill plugin-container.exe to resolve it. This is caused by items mice wear.
• Multiple vanilla maps broken: A list has been compiled by Iamconz and can be viewed here
• Non-P1 maps showing as P1 in rotation - When entering a room while a map is playing mid-round the map will always be shown as P1. The map won't actually be P1 and will revert back to it's true rotation once the next round starts.
• Object IDs show instead of proper names: While in Map Editor, or when logging in, the object IDs of items will show in place of it's name. (Example $Pseudo in place of Username)
• Parallel rooms: There is a bug that sometimes causes duplicate rooms to be made. (Example: five different vanilla5 rooms on EN)
• Pressing K does not change keyboard: Hot keys such as WASD no longer function if you're using an AZERTY keyboard.
• Recruiting to two tribes: If two tribes invite you at the same time, you will be recruited to both tribes, but the one you joined last will be on your profile and in the Tribe menu.
• Report/Map Editor buttons break: When using the report dialog, sometimes two different categories are selected. Just simply uncheck one and it should be fixed. Happens with the "Map Settings" as well.
• Saved mice counter bug: The mouse who gets first is not counted as a save on the counter, yet counts towards your saves.
• Shaman items disappear after spawning past the 800px point on maps (scrolling or non): Items will not appear if they are spawned past the limits of the game (800px wide). This also applies to scrolling maps as those points are technically past 800px.
• Shaman objects do not appear after leaving fortresse or bouboum or room: Shaman objects will appear invisible on the screen until relogging.(fortoresse and bouboum have since been removed from TFM)
• Shop options unselectable in bootcamp: While in bootcamp, trying to change clothes, the categories may glitch and previews wont appear properly.
• Soulmate "infinite strings": When both mice of a pair receive a balloon, the string connecting them is basically nonexistant and both mice can move as far as they wish without problems.
• Soulmates attached to nothing: If you enter or spawn in a room that's playing a soulmate room, you can sometimes see a mouse attached to the hole or spawn point. This is only on your client and isn't affecting anyone else.
• Spirit glitch: If you spirit a dynamic object (even a mouse) in its exact centre, it will warp to zero-coordinates with every item attached to it.
• Thief spawn glitch: Occasionally on cheese thief maps, the thief will briefly spawn alongside the other mice and thus gives some or all of the mice cheese.
• Timer at 0: If you enter a round midway the timer can reach zero before the round is over. This is a client side issue, the round is really still going.
• Tribe chat becomes one long sentence: Any new lines that are left over from a previous tribe greeting will be disregarded upon validating a new greeting, making the greeting all on one line. It can be resolved by backspacing and enter-ing on the line.
• Unable to play movies in tribe house: If you enter your tribe house while someone is playing a Youtube movie the map won't show the current movie playing nor will it allow you to play any other maps. Can be fixed my resetting the round. (/np)
• Unable to view outfit in shop: If you have "display other mice's outfits" setting turned off, you can't see your outfit in the shop.
• Counter starts when map loads rather than after countdown: This means that you start the round at 1:57 rather than 2:00.
• Font is default in whispers: Even if you set a custom font and size, you will have the default 12pt font on a whisper tab.
• Jump lock: This is when the animation for jumping continues despite touching the ground, and prevents mice from jumping again. Can be fixed by walking off a smooth vertical surface, being spirited or coming in contact with the edge of any shaman object.
• Mice ducking in Vampire survivor maps don't change animation when bitten: An animation for vampire mice ducking doesn't exist, so if a regular mice is ducking while bitten they won't appear to become a vampire mouse. Please note that this is NOT a way to avoid becoming a vampire.
• Mice showing in rooms they aren't in/not showing in rooms they are in: Sometimes due to connection issues with the server mice can appear in rooms physically despite not being there. The reverse can also happen.
• Multiple users, or users who do not belong to the tribe, showing in tribe member list: Lag will cause users who are not online, or are not part of the tribe, to show in the tribe list. Multiple users may also be visible. The latter is resolved by refreshing your client, while the former can only be resolved when the server restarts.
• Pink shaman shows as blue: If the pink shaman does not have hard mode unlocked, they are the default blue as pink shaman. This has been around since the beginning of the game and is most likely intentional.
• Shamans can ice mice after their death: Even if a shaman is dead, they can ice mice on the screen assuming one has gone in. This seems to be intentional.
• Summon area bug - Shaman’s summon area doesn’t appear when using “Conjuration,” and doesn’t extend when using “Spirit”.
• Survivor points increase upon death: Rather then losing a point, you gain a point when you die in survivor.
• Tribe greeting interrupted: If something happens to change the state of the tribe page while someone is editing the tribe greeting, the tribe greeting's editing page will close without saving what was typed.
• Shamans can use ice if no mice has entered the whole if they are on the hole: Despite not being allowed to use ice if no mice have entered the hole, it is possible if the shaman is on the hole.
• First number on leaderboard is invisible: Currently, the "01" on the leaderboard, next to first place's name, is a blank spot.
• Ranking list limit: the scorers after the 14th aren’t shown in the rankings.
• Mice do not spawn: While playing, you and multiple other mice will not spawn. At the beginning of the round, you will see the "No cheese for you! ^_^" text. Currently, Tig is trying to figure out what causes it so it can be resolved.

Forum Bugs

New forums so many of these bugs are now moot. Feel free to check out and post your bugs in this thread.

Map Editor Bugs

40 cheese required for edits/exporting despite discount: Even if you have a discount from P1-11 maps you still need to have at least 40 cheese in your shop to export or edit maps. The discount still applies though.
• Cheese Z does not change: When attempting to change the Z level of the cheese, it will not move up or down.
• Invalid mass: a ground with an invalid mass value won’t move but will maintain the properties of a dynamic object.
• Invalid rotation: if an object’s rotation’s module is bigger than a certain value its apparent rotation will be close to 8, while its physic angle will still be the correct one.
• "Thanks to *Username* we collected 0 cheese!" repeated constantly in mapeditor chat: Caused by testing a map that has death causing spawn. Move the spawn to somewhere safe to stop this
• Invalid friction: if a dynamic object or a mouse touches a ground with invalid friction, it gets warped to zero-coordinates and other objects will phase through the normal grounds.

Shaman Skill Bugs

Hard mode shamans can appear as regular shamans
Hard mode saves do not count on dual shaman/P8 maps: If you are using hard mode and are on a dual shaman or P8 map, it does not count towards your saves.
Easy victory does not count as a save: When you use easy victory on a mouse, it does not count towards your saves.
Hotkeys do not function with ancestral spirit: Using 1-9, X and Z for items does not work.
Anti spirit doesn't effect mice: Currently, it only pulls items, and not mice.
Redistribution is buggy: Redistribution of points can often be slow and buggy.
Bubbles appears on /mort: When a mouse /morts, it counts as a death and a bubble is spawned.
Wings appear on non-shamans: Wings appear on mice who have used them in their shaman round when they aren't shaman. Seems to be a graphic issue; they provide no extra benefit.
Experience imbalance: Pink shamans receives one more point of experience than blue on co-op maps.
Shaman's tail cut off: The Shaman sprite get's too large for it's parameters and appears cut off when using the Big Shaman skill
Architect effect not immediate: After using Architect on an item you're standing on, you can continue to stand on it if you make it invisible unless you jump or the item moves.
Architect doesn't work with companion cube: If you use the Architect skill on the companion cube, it does not become fully ghost/non-ghost.
Map 137 crash: Spawning a Companion Crate on Map 137 in a certain position can results in a crash.
Newly joined mice can be revived: Mice can be revived after joining a room, despite not having been there at the start of the round.
Incorrect time: When a revived mice enters the hole, their time on the leaderboard is wrong.
Skeletons in room 801: Mice appear as skeletons in room 801.
Wings: Wings allow you to fly, rather than glide.
Infinite clouds: You can spawn an infinite amount of clouds.
Hard mode disabled after revival: When reviving on hard mode, your totem disappears and you can use spirit and B plank.
Nightmode disappears: After reviving on a nightmode map, nightmode is gone.

Community Platform Bugs

Some features of Transformice, like friend lists and tribes, are shared with multiple games. To make that work they run on a separate platform, named the community platform. When you notice that these things don't work, it usually means this platform is down. You can still play the game while the platform is down, just without the features listed above.

What can you do when this happens?

This is an issue that is on Atelier 801's end, and not yours. As such, there's not really anything you can do about it. You will simply have to wait for it to be restarted, which it may do automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

I'm getting a lot of lag/my game is running slowly, is this a bug?
Lag is caused by a lot of different factors so it can be hard at times to pinpoint what exactly causes it. In a nutshell the two reasons why you can be experiencing lag are a weak connection to the server and a slow computer.

A weak connection could be at any point along the line of an internet connection; your ISP speed, your network speed or your location. There's normally very little you can do to improve this that doesn't invovle spending a lot of money or taking a lot of effort to do, but you can check your speed by using Speedtest. There's no right or wrong result, but a lower ping and higher download rate is what you want.

A slow computer is also caused by a few different things; your computers age, how powerful your computer is and other tasks your computer is running simultaneously with TFM. Transformice doesn't require a fancy computer to run, but older computers and ones with slower running processors and graphics, lower amounts of RAM etc. may run a bit slowly. To minimise the amount of lag or how slow the game is running, try limiting the amount of other programs you're running at the same time (Like Facebook, Itunes, Skype etc) and keep your computer in the best condition you can by cleaning out unwanted programs/files, Defragging your computer regularly and running a firewall at all times.

I've lost cheese/stats! What's happened?
The game regularly makes backups of all the stats and cheese people have collected, however if the server crashes anything you may have collected between the crash and the last backup can be lost. Sadly there's no way to get your lost stats/cheese back, so please don't make threads about it.

I bought fraises but I didn't receive any! Have I lost my money?
No, in most situations something stopped the transaction before it could be completed and the money hasn't even left your account yet. Transformice validates all payment with Paypal/Zong before taking the money from you, so very rarely will your money be taken and no fraises given. You can use this thread to ask for help with purchasing fraises: Topic-51440

I'm trying to set a tribe member as Spiritual Chief but it won't let me.
The ability to promote someone to Spiritual Chief was removed. Problems were occurring with owners of tribes losing power within their own tribes by giving Spiritual Chief powers to the wrong people. You can still give other ranks the same permissions as Spiritual Chief.

I have maps that are permanant/protected but i'm not getting the cheese discount on maps!
The cheese discount will only apply when the server restarts. There's no way to tell if and when the server will restart, so you'll have to keep checking yourself. It's safe to say the server will restart at least once a week though.

I set my tribe house as a map I liked but now it's back to map 0, what happened?
Everytime the server restarts the tribe house for every tribe is reset to map 0. If you're playing and your tribe house is now map 0 then there was recently a server restart.

Very nice!

thanks! this was very useful

Topic-299772 Long nicknames are cut off arfter a certain limit

Hi i'm here to be annoying o/

Is the bootcamp title bug still an issue? I don't think i've seen or heard anyone mention it for months and it certainly isnt affecting me or anyone I know.

Also should the avatar bug still remain red? It's not really working consistantly.

Plus I thought the spirit glitch (the one that mentions spiriting mice in their center) was unfixable/not intended to be changed, right?

Hi Whisky my rabu you are never annoying.

Bootcamp title: It still seems to be one sometimes. I have people come to me about it..but I can't guarantee whether that's people that think they're supposed to get it on the first go around or not.
Avatar bug: That's gonna be my bad, I meant for it to be in red.
Spirit glitch: It was fixed briefly then cropped back up? So I'm unsure.

> [Joseitooch] You are not authorized to speak on this server.
not sure if a bug or..
he whispered me this.

What server were you on?

wow lots of glitches in bugs but thanks for the tips!

Is remove OR bug Hotkey F "Ice Cube" o.o?

Shamans can use ice if no mice has entered the whole if they are on the hole

I think this only happens if the shaman has cheese when touching hole, i.e. shaman touching hole with first counts as first from the Freee point of view. I did not recheck this though, for lack of volounteers

Holy shit, I didn't realise it said the WHOLE. ><
I'll test it tonight and see; but with the way you've worded it, it's likely to be with cheese.

Haruhitastic a dit :

You did test Hotkey f? Is something remove OR bug?

F was never a hotkey before. It was a ghost anchor while doing some testing with shaman specialisations and was quickly removed after the issue was discovered.

F was a hotkey for the ice cube since a few weeks ago

I was hearing ghost anchors so that's why I said that. ^^' Doesn't work either way and likely wasn't meant to.

Oh, my bad, I forgot to tell about ghost anchors. F was a hotkey for ice cube then it was replaced by ghost anchors.
