Doctor Fissionton's Bug Bash

Posted by The Fissiontons on February 26, 2018 at 2:30 PM

Hello again, Toontown! I'm sure you don't recognize us without three question marks in lieu of a name. Allow me to introduce ourselves: The name's Doctor Fissionton -- joined by my associate, Doctor Fissionton. Perhaps you saw us in the news last month.

They do realize that we're two Toons, don't they?
That's only a matter of how you look at it. I'd say we're the same Toon.
Now you're just going to confuse them!

Doctor Fissionton saying 'Welcome to the first step. We'll be in touch.'

As a Toon scientist, I discovered the existence of Silly Particles with the assistance of the C.A.K.E. Team. That was in another era, of course. Since then, we've been studying silliness for longer than our own existence, and the discoveries we've made are spectacular!

They come, however, at a cost.
Don't be so morbid! You'll scare them.
I think the real person I'm trying to scare is myself.
The plan is already in motion. We must do this.

We've been putting together a "Final Plan" - a plan that we believe will bring Toontown to silliness levels that have never been seen before. A plan that will lead Toontown to a future that even we can't predict! To get there, we're going to need your help -- and, of course, the help of a certain Doctor Surlee.

I wonder if this will really bring him out of hiding.
He's been waiting for the perfect chance to meet us. I say we give it to him.
I can't imagine he'd pass up on the opportunity.
After all, you know he doesn't trust mailboxes.

We know that we need to earn your trust. As parents always say, "Don't trust two identical scientists detached from time itself!" Luckily, our research has just the thing to get this push of silliness started.


As we continued to inspect the molecular structure of the Tooniverse, we discovered teensy little bugs, causing a significant drain on silliness! Even at their tiny size, they've been the source of countless minor annoyances, sapping Toontown’s overall silliness levels.

Shall we name a few of the ones we've squashed?
Hmm, what would make them most excited?
Perhaps the window will no longer crash when minimizing it.
That's good, but what about eliminating flickering on doors and shadows?
Aha! But you're missing the real kicker to rise silliness like never before.
A bug squash almost over two years in the making.
A fix for those Apple Toons to finally hear the sounds of Toontown again.

The increase in Silly Levels around town will lead to something big. And, perhaps, finally lead Doctor Surlee out of hiding once again. Last month's ripple lasted days, and if our predictions are correct... Well, you'll know it when you see it.

Remember what we told you to tell Doctor Surlee. By our calculations, we'll be seeing you again in a few days.


February 26, 2018 [ttr-live-v2.1.4]

General
• Updated engine with various stability and performance improvements.
• The time has come! Audio should no longer cause the game to crash while playing on macOS. We’ll be turning both sound effects and music back on by default, so let us know how it goes! If issues continue, please contact us at support@toontownrewritten.com.
• Minimizing the game will no longer cause a crash.
• Fixed a crash related to enabling and disabling sound effects on all platforms.
• General fixes have been made to the way Intel Integrated Graphics are handled, which should lead to greatly improved visuals on low-end machines and laptops.

Playgrounds
• Fixed longstanding bug which caused doors to flicker black when viewed at a distance.
• Doors will no longer slightly change color when opened.
• Fixed a bug causing the Party clock to not load one of its sounds properly.

Racing
• Players should now earn the correct amount of Laff points from racing trophies.

Estate
• Fixed crashes that occurred when removing some items from the mailbox.
• Added preventative measures to combat Doodle training bots and macros. We're looking into ways to improve Doodle training to eliminate the need in the first place!

Don't have to have my eye's burn from the flickering doors now.

Lily Supernoodle said on February 26, 2018 at 2:49 PM
I am mac user and I am so excited with the news! Thank you TTR team!!!!!!!

Piedog said on February 26, 2018 at 2:50 PM
Finally! It felt... odd after hearing SFXs for like... 9 years and have it... go away for some time...

Taffy Fizzlebee said on February 26, 2018 at 2:55 PM
Thanks TTR team! Doors looked so strange beforehand.

Silly Pepperdoodle said on February 26, 2018 at 3:00 PM
Thanks Dr. Fissionton for these new updates! This is going to be fun to figure out what all this is about :D

Max Cheezytoon said on February 26, 2018 at 3:02 PM

Robot said on February 26, 2018 at 3:18 PM
There was a crash related to toons blinking? Sounds pretty dangerous. If I had known, I'd be sleeping with one or two eyes open.

Zapdos said on February 26, 2018 at 3:51 PM
Dr. Fissionton is my hero! Finally mac sounds are coming back!

Weird Curly Megaquack said on February 26, 2018 at 4:34 PM
I actually kind of liked it that the doors changed color when you opened them. It was charming in a way. IDK, probably just nostalgia talking. ;) Thanks for everything, TTR.

Mah'ac You Sir said on February 26, 2018 at 4:45 PM
Thanks for the sound fix! I've been waiting so long for it to get fixed, but finally, it is.

SillybusterTrickyBee said on February 26, 2018 at 5:40 PM
Finally...Sound on mac... It's back!

Susan Twinklepaws said on February 26, 2018 at 5:46 PM
Oh my doggy bones! This is so exciting! I wont crash when i minimize! I feel like it won't be the same with the flickering doors though.

Sir Hurricane said on February 26, 2018 at 5:48 PM
Thank you TTR Team!

King Leo said on February 26, 2018 at 5:52 PM
Finally! I can play full screen without worrying about crashing from minimizing.

Cataclysmic Eclipse said on February 26, 2018 at 5:55 PM
Exciting for future updates regarding doodle training. The tediousness around it should be fixed. Thanks TTR!

Little Bubbles Tinkerbee said on February 26, 2018 at 5:56 PM
This is so exciting! I'm so excited about the doors and the sound- it's been bothering me for quite some time now.

Mr.Slumpy said on February 26, 2018 at 6:04 PM
Thanks for everything TTR team!

Gigglebouncer said on February 26, 2018 at 6:06 PM
Hopefully, less crashing.

Dr. Ozzie Frazzlewhatsit said on February 26, 2018 at 6:07 PM
Ah, I'm so excited for the door flickering to stop, you have my thanks, Doctor Fissiontons!

Frizzy Doggenpop said on February 26, 2018 at 6:19 PM
I'm glad to hear that you guys are doing a lot of stuff to improve the game, keep up the good work.

C.J. said on February 26, 2018 at 6:25 PM
Thank you for fixing these bugs they were getting on my nerves. :D

Snowcone said on February 26, 2018 at 6:39 PM
Awesome! Hopefully it wont crash anymore when I go to play music.

Trixie said on February 26, 2018 at 6:44 PM
Thank you for the updates. We all appreciate it very much!

Lady Sunshine Lemontoon said on February 26, 2018 at 6:47 PM
I'm really happy for updated

Clyde Cheezywig said on February 26, 2018 at 6:53 PM
Gadzooks! I'm so excited!

Strawberry Shortcake said on February 26, 2018 at 6:54 PM
Any idea when the update will be done? I want to get back to playing... but I'm grateful for these updates, ESPECIALLY the sounds! (I even miss "MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW"!)

Professor Jacques Jabberhopper said on February 26, 2018 at 6:55 PM
Thank you, Doctors! The game hasn't been quite the same without the catchy music and wacky sound effects. I can't wait to hear the sweet sound of an imploding cog again!

Aura/Timber said on February 26, 2018 at 6:56 PM
Yaay! Thank you so much TTR for fixing the sound bug. Now I can hear the sweet sounds of Toontown. :))

Professor Jacques Jabberhopper said on February 26, 2018 at 6:58 PM
Thank you, Doctors! Toontown hasn't quite been the same without the catchy music and wacky sound effects. I can't wait to hear the sweet sound of an imploding cog again!

Oscie said on February 26, 2018 at 7:16 PM
Oh boy! Can't wait to see these updates installed in the game! It's getting better every update!

GabrielTheDuck said on February 26, 2018 at 7:31 PM
Cool update you guys should put a new gag or place so more people can play the game!!

Savvy said on February 26, 2018 at 7:37 PM
I like to make music changes so I'm so happy you fixed mac sound glitches :)!

Sea Buttercup said on February 26, 2018 at 9:15 PM
YES

King FireBall ThunderSparkles said on February 26, 2018 at 10:03 PM
Trying to install the new update. Only at stage 1 of 22, at 34% percent. Been downloading for over an hour now. Is it supposed to be going this slow? Thank you.

Toon said on February 26, 2018 at 10:08 PM
Great news! So many fixes brings great relief for many Toons! How amazing! Maybe we'll finally be able to see a real fix to the long-standing bug that keeps causing nearly every Toon but one to not launch golf balls at the Bossbot CEO to make his treads red and slow him down! That's been present too long. It needs to be fixed so any 4 of 8 Toons participating can slow down the CEO together, instead of only having one Toon slow him down alone. Please make it so, TTR Team!

Mister Hazel Kooky Flipper said on February 26, 2018 at 11:11 PM
FINALLY SOUND FOR MAC TY TTR :D

Star said on February 26, 2018 at 11:57 PM
So stoked to have sound on my Macbook during game play! It's been a while since I've been able to hear the cute sound effects.

Doctor Curly Crinklecorn said on February 27, 2018 at 12:47 AM
So you two have finally arived after so long we know what you are and i only have one thing to say.......... WELCOME BACK!

Weird Cricket said on February 27, 2018 at 4:07 AM
i wonder what this final plan is. it sounds pretty final

Sol Fyretoon said on February 27, 2018 at 6:10 AM
At long last, I can finally revisit the music from my favorite online game without having to download and play it on iTunes! That was a pain... But at long last, we have music again! Thank you, TTR Team! Thank you, Fissiontons!

Frizzy said on February 27, 2018 at 6:19 AM
Have not been able to access the game since the update finished. I get an error that my files are out of date. On a Mac computer. Followed the steps on the Help section, which didn’t help. Then tried a full uninstall/reinstall and I am getting the same error. Any tips? Thanks for your help and all the hard work making TTR a reality!

Crazy Romeo Smartyhopper said on February 27, 2018 at 7:11 AM
I just Loved This

W'atta bea Dragon said on February 27, 2018 at 8:54 AM

Sir crumblesnoop said on February 27, 2018 at 11:53 AM
When something strange, is crawling on the game, WHO YOU GONNA CALL? Bug Busters!

May said on February 27, 2018 at 12:00 PM
YESSSS! The macOS sounds are back! New ARG? Squashed bugs? Extensive silliness?? COULD THIS GET ANY BETTER??

Miss Dee Dee Crinklemelon said on February 27, 2018 at 12:00 PM
Wish I could play right now but at least there'll be a new update :(

effervescent said on February 27, 2018 at 1:22 PM
to say i'm excited about the sounds on macs is an understatement, i've been waiting for sound to be fixed since it broke

Lime-Berry said on February 27, 2018 at 1:47 PM
That minimizing and flickering bug annoyed me the most, so I'm glad. However, I just noticed that windows at gag shops flicker now.

Megatoon said on February 27, 2018 at 2:13 PM
I approve of this update i want to see more of this!!

Zelph said on February 27, 2018 at 2:22 PM
Wait....If the cogs are gone then....Toontown Rewritten will be....

Star said on February 27, 2018 at 2:28 PM
Awesome! I had the minimizing window crash many times before and I'm glad there's a fix!!

Lily Pop said on February 27, 2018 at 2:43 PM

Guess this is the first step of something big. I can’t wait!

Ethan said on February 27, 2018 at 8:56 PM
Wow, toons! Great moves. Keep it up. Proud of you.

Flora Sparklepaws said on February 27, 2018 at 11:45 PM
Thank you so much Doctor Fissionton I don't like those bugs.
