Known Issues
Here are a few issues (bugs) that are under investigation.


Black Screen instead of Login Screen
We are investigating reports of a Toontown startup problem where only a mouse cursor is displayed over a black screen when you should see the Toontown login screen. We believe this is not a graphics problem but a case of the Toontown program waiting for a message from our servers. If you see this problem and Toontown fails to respond for over a minute, please hit Alt-F4 to exit, and immediately submit a bug report. It is possible that simply restarting Toontown at that point will work properly. If this is the case, or if you perform some other action such as rebooting/installing new drivers/uninstalling and reinstalling Toontown that causes this problem to no longer appear, we would like to hear about it on the bug report page. Switching to a less populated district after you log in successfully may lessen the chance of this occurring when you restart the game.

Memory Leak
After playing for an extended period you may notice that the hard disk drive is being accessed often ("thrashing"), and the game gets slower and slower. Toontown currently has a problem "leaking" memory, which causes it to use progressively more memory over time, which eventually causes the OS to 'swap' RAM to disk in an attempt to allocate more. If you experience signs of this, we suggest you exit and restart the game immediately (using Alt-F4 if necessary).

Random video graphics problems
If you see many polygons being drawn in completely random places turning Toontown into an inscrutable collage, first check with your graphics driver manufacturer's website to make sure you have their latest video driver installed. Windows 2000/XP users, please install the latest MS Service Pack for your OS (available here). If installing all of these fails to correct your problem, please run C:\windows\system\dxdiag.exe (or c:\winnt\system32\dxdiag.exe), click 'save all info',and send the resulting text file along with screen capture images (press F9 in-game) demonstrating the problem to toontown@disneyonline.com.

Mouse Cursor Problems
If you have an ATI card, are running Win2000 or WinXP, and see a black square instead of a cursor, this is due to an ATI driver problem. If your cursor flickers or flashes on and off as you move it across the screen, this is also a video driver problem. Please download the latest video driver from your card manufacturer.

Transparency Problems
Sometimes you will notice a 'black' background behind items such as the snowflake, or things like mist clouds will partially disappear when you get close to them or look at them from certain angles.

Camera Shaking
In certain locations the viewpoint will bounce back and forth between two positions very quickly, causing an 'earthquake' effect on the screen.

If you reply to this post, please keep it to comments relating to the above bug list... -rcv-

ooo! I have got the Camera Shacking glitch more often.

does the memory leak have anything to do with sound card caching caus i some times get a buffer over flow in my sound card and it keeps a sound playing from buffer and it dosent go away unless i quit toon town??? if so plz tell me caus i gotta fix this prob cause it is really annoying.

I can't find where to post a bug, so I will put it here..

My toon wouldn't stop running! I would sit back, staring at my toon while she would run! I was like...;o...

[Gigglesnort]

Is there any word on the bug that happens with lure and latecomer cogs? (ones that come into the fight in later rounds) I don't see it listed in the rest of this "known bugs" thread.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, watch what happens when you try to lure cogs fresh off the elevator. It will appear to work, but you won't get the orange lure bonus damage off throw or squirt. There are other oddities, too.

Is this a bug that won't get fixed? One they haven't heard about? Or behavior that they don't consider a bug? (I have trouble believing it hasn't been reported, but you never know.)

(P.S. Mods--any chance of deleting posts from this thread that aren't relevant to the title of "Known Bugs"? It might be helpful to have a shorter thread for those of us, like me, that are new to the test server.)

I get it on Open and Test

your toons' position among other objects on the screen, like being caught between foliage and bldgs, or such. Just simply moving your toon away from these objects often cures the shakes.

toons gets stuck on trolley,
this happened to two of my toons that just got on after the new update and it showed they had 25/25 gags but only showed that was 3 of the biggest pie they could carry and the rest showed zero so i went on trolley deleted a pie then bought another pie and then i could see all the gags i had as if they magically reappeared so I pushed play again and I got stuck on the countdown screen and when it hit zero I didnt go in game or back to playground. when i fought cogs first my gags would reappear and then I had no trouble riding the trolley over and over, just the freezing on the first 'story'

i reported it with a screenshot.
