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!
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.

I am mac user and I am so excited with the news! Thank you TTR team!!!!!!!
Finally! It felt... odd after hearing SFXs for like... 9 years and have it... go away for some time...
Thanks TTR team! Doors looked so strange beforehand.
Thanks Dr. Fissionton for these new updates! This is going to be fun to figure out what all this is about :D
I can't wait for the update! Thanks for exterminating all these annoying bugs! :D
Yay now i dont crash to minimizing toontown thank you <3
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.
Dr. Fissionton is my hero! Finally mac sounds are coming back!
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.
Thanks for the sound fix! I've been waiting so long for it to get fixed, but finally, it is.
Finally...Sound on mac... It's back!
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.
Thank you TTR Team!
Finally! I can play full screen without worrying about crashing from minimizing.
Exciting for future updates regarding doodle training. The tediousness around it should be fixed. Thanks TTR!
This is so exciting! I'm so excited about the doors and the sound- it's been bothering me for quite some time now.
Thanks for everything TTR team!
Hopefully, less crashing.
Ah, I'm so excited for the door flickering to stop, you have my thanks, Doctor Fissiontons!
I'm glad to hear that you guys are doing a lot of stuff to improve the game, keep up the good work.
woot woot
i have always loved this game keep up the good work and good updates
Thank you for fixing these bugs they were getting on my nerves. :D
Awesome! Hopefully it wont crash anymore when I go to play music.
Thank you for the updates. We all appreciate it very much!
I'm really happy for updated
Gadzooks! I'm so excited!
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"!)
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!
Yaay! Thank you so much TTR for fixing the sound bug. Now I can hear the sweet sounds of Toontown. :))
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!
Oh boy! Can't wait to see these updates installed in the game! It's getting better every update!
Cool update you guys should put a new gag or place so more people can play the game!!
I like to make music changes so I'm so happy you fixed mac sound glitches :)!
YES
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.
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!
FINALLY SOUND FOR MAC TY TTR :D
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.
So you two have finally arived after so long we know what you are and i only have one thing to say.......... WELCOME BACK!
i wonder what this final plan is. it sounds pretty final
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!
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!
I just Loved This
You Guys all rock!!!! I am a mac user so hearing the the music and sound effects is just awesome... Thx everyone for all your hard work.... :) <3
Glad to see the minimize issue fixed. That one was so annoying
i missed hearing sounds and music thank yous very much.
When something strange, is crawling on the game, WHO YOU GONNA CALL? Bug Busters!
YESSSS! The macOS sounds are back! New ARG? Squashed bugs? Extensive silliness?? COULD THIS GET ANY BETTER??
Wish I could play right now but at least there'll be a new update :(
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
That minimizing and flickering bug annoyed me the most, so I'm glad. However, I just noticed that windows at gag shops flicker now.
I approve of this update i want to see more of this!!
Wait....If the cogs are gone then....Toontown Rewritten will be....
Awesome! I had the minimizing window crash many times before and I'm glad there's a fix!!
thank you very much
Wow! Good work, Fissiontons!
Sounds great
SOUND!!!!!!!!
Sweet new fixes, now I can finally leave the game on minimize without worrying about crashes. Thanks TTR Team!
Woo hoo! Thank you TTR Team this is great!
Thank you so much TTR Team! This really makes TTR look better and work better! This is super helpful, and thank you so much for keeping up to date with the amazing Toon Town Posts! Keep working TTR Team! :D

Guess this is the first step of something big. I can’t wait!
Wow, toons! Great moves. Keep it up. Proud of you.
Thank you so much Doctor Fissionton I don't like those bugs.
You guys are doing an AWESOME job. Many thanks from me and the thousands of others out there that love what you're doing!

Thanks for squashing those bugs, TTR team!
Graaah no bug fixing for teleporting and changing pages in the book? Well, we appreciate everything else, thanks TTR Team :)
Does this mean that the game is down while you're working on these fixes? Thank you, TTR team!! You guys are the best!
Thats awesome!
Best... Bug Fix... Ever!!!!! I always minimize the screen to talk with my friends and now I can do it without the worries of crashing. Thanks Doctor Fissionton, or Fissiontons?
Good Job Patching Glitches, Keep up the good work
Who knew that a Toon's eyelids could cause so much havoc!
So SO thankful that the sound has finally been fixed for mac users! <3
Yo, thanks guys for fixing the sound for Mac Toons! It's highly appreciated! <3

As a mac user, THANK YOU SO MUCH! YOU'RE ALL THE BEST! <3
Thanks! So excited to hear the music now!
THANK YOU SO MUCH, TTR TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've had to stop playing for so long because of my intel laptop, but now I can replay my favorite childhood game again! You're the best, and keep being the best!
I had the same sound problem on Windows, but it seems to be fixed. Thank you, Dr. Fissionton.
I love this update! I have been having lots of trouble in the game recently and usually whenever I hang out with my friends, they keep crashing. Thanks, TTR Team! <3
A cat and a dog make team Catdog!
Wow! I've been gone for awhile, and haven't noticed that! Well, glad to hear every things back together!
Hey that's pretty good!
This is such great news!!!
Now, in all cases of gameplay, I don't have to crash listening to Cogtastrophe, the Toontown theme, etc.
Does this mean that I can turn my music off and it wont crash? If so, thank you!
Finally fixes! Thanks TTR Team!
Don't have to have my eye's burn from the flickering doors now.
