In Game Bugs

Bootcamp titles not awarded when earnt - Seems some people aren't receiving bootcamp titles when they complete the required amount of bootcamps with 5 or more people present. No date as of when this will be fixed
Crash - if a dynamic object exceeds a critical speed the game freezes and eventually disconnects; refresh the page to play again.
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.
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.
Summon area bug - Shaman’s summon area doesn’t appear when using “Conjuration” and doesn’t extend when using “Spirit”.
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.
Thief spawn glitch - Occasionally on cheese thief maps, the thief will briefly spawn alongside the other mice and thus instantly dies.
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.
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.
Saved mice counter bug - sometimes the chat message won’t show the right number of mice you saved during a match. Your statistics will be correctly increased though.
Loader bar glitch - If you switch the room while mice are loading the loader bar hangs up.
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.
Totems disappear after spawning past the 800px point on scrolling maps - Similar to spawning shaman items on a normal map outside of the 800px borders.
Invisible mice - Sometimes mice can become invisible except for their title.
Customized items appear different in preview to the actual item - Not sure what causes it, more info would be appreciated.
Ice grounds having extended graphics outside parameters - Depending on the size of the ground, and odd line can be seen extending out of the ice ground.
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.
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)
Backwards loading bar - Occasionally trying to load the game will cause the loading bar to 'load' backwards. Reset your client to fix it.
Some options in the shop unselectable - The first three filters in bootcamp are unselectable
Vampire settings in tribe room - Playing a Vampire (P11) map in the tribe room will also bring in vampire game settings.
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.
Varying font size in-game - headings of things like the profile page, map editor code popup etc. can sometime vary in size.
Broken vanilla maps - Some vanilla maps are not working, such as upside down maps and cage maps.
Mice failing to spawn in racing rooms - It's possible for mice to not spawn on rounds when in a racing room.
Dual summoning - Caused when two shamans spawn items at the same time, making both items blend together unnaturally.
Black friends list - The colour of the font for the friends list was accidentally changed to black.
Jump not resetting after dying - If you die while in the jump animation on a bootcamp map the jump animation will not be reset on spawn. Walk off an edge to reset it. *Note - this was NOT general jumplock*
Helmet/Tiara can't be customized - Currently any customization made to either the tiara or the spartan helmet won't show up on your mouse.
Shop remains blank in bootcamp - Opening up the shop interface while in a bootcamp room will leave all the options blank. Switch to a different room if you wish to use the shop.
Maps not showing their @codes - If you load a map in your tribe house the @code won't be displayed in the top left corner. P7 and P8 maps will be played as regular maps too.
Ranking list limit - the scorers after the 14th aren’t shown in the rankings.
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 or being spirited.
Map 41's cage falls apart - Currently the anchors dont spawn on the cage in map 41 to all but the sync.
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.
Multiple accounts showing in tribe list - Sometimes the same person can be listed in the tribe more than once, as well as any messages they say.
Arrow anchoring - Anchors can be used to connect items with anchors from any position on the map. This is now an intended feature of the game and won't be changed.
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. Moving will changing the animation back to vampire. 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.</li>

Forum Bugs

Ampisands ("&") revert to "amp;" when a post is edited - You'll have to manually replace the ampisand yourself if this happens.
Url tags on TFM forum links - Using Url tags on a Transformice forum link will cause the post to break.
Forum's borders are removed/obscured - Caused when a map with "Ca=" in the XML is played while viewing the forum. Forced to either restart the game/browser or use the close button in the top right if this happens.
Scrolling issues - Sometimes trying to scroll with a clickwheel or by clicking and dragging can cause odd results. It's unknown what causes this or how to fix it.
Forum time runs two minutes fast - Forum posts will always be displayed two minutes faster than your OS.
Close button disappears - Seems to happen when you have both the game client and a browser on the forums at the same time.
Post count - Last digit of a 6-digit post count does not completely show up on on the thread list.
Avatars cannot be changed - Avatars aren't completely fixed yet, there are still times when you can't change them.
Negative No. of posts shown on threads - If a thread reaches a certain number of posts the post counter will 'reset' to the lowest digit calculable by the forum.
Tags break when multiple community tags are used - No work around is available for this.</li>

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.
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.
Invalid mass - a ground with an invalid mass value won’t move but will maintain the properties of a dynamic object.
"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
Map editor icons stuck in regular rooms - If you leave the map editor while still having a map editor tool selected the icon will remain floating on the screen. Simply go back to the map editor to fix 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.</li>

Frequently Asked Questions

<textformat leftmargin="20">I'm getting a lot of lag/my game is running slowly, is this a bug?</textformat>
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.

<textformat leftmargin="20">I've lost cheese/stats! What's happened?</textformat>
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.

<textformat leftmargin="20">I bought fraises but I didn't receive any! Have I lost my money?</textformat>
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

<textformat leftmargin="20">I'm trying to set a tribe member as Spiritual Chief but it won't let me.</textformat>
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.

<textformat leftmargin="20">I have maps that are permanant/protected but i'm not getting the cheese discount on maps!</textformat>
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.

<textformat leftmargin="20">I set my tribe house as a map I liked but now it's back to map 0, what happened?</textformat>
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.

It just got unstickied ^^

Ok,Anyways nice new Bug list.

Worst thread ever.
So many icky bugs in one place.

Iew.

I'm not sure by scrolling issues you meant the current scrollwheel issue (which makes it so you can't use the scrollwheel at all on the forum and for rotating objects in-game) caused by Chrome's recent update, but I think that could be added. ^^

There was a point early when tribes were first brought out that you could have multiple Spiritual Chief's in tribes, however it was changed so that no one else could be set to Spiritual Chief. All those who were promoted before the patch remained Spiritual Chiefs, which would be why that tribe has two. =)

Are you using cfm for checking your maps? if so you just have to click the code of the map, and then click force update.
