This is the master issues list for Dr. Dude. This thread is maintained to aid FarSight in exterminating gameplay bugs, art issues, and sound problems from DD.
This thread is locked to keep it clean and focused on actual issues, as opposed to opinions about such issues. Report art issues in the Art forum, and all other issues in a new thread in this table's forum. I will add newly-reported issues to this thread at regular intervals. In addition, each bug has a link to the thread it was reported in; discussion of bugs should take place there.

GAMEPLAY ISSUES:
23-001: Camera locks onto the Molecular Mixmaster if shot within first few seconds of multiball
First reported: 16 Feb 2013
Description: Shooting the second ball into the Molecular Mixmaster sometimes causes the camera to lock onto the mixmaster. Chance of occurrence is increased if this shot is made before the first ball is released from the Excellent Ray. This issue can also occur if a ball is shot into the ray while a ball is already in the mixmaster.
Devices: Android, iOS

Workaround: Turn Event Camera option off, but see Issue # 23-004.
