This is the master issues list for Medieval Madness. This thread is maintained to aid FarSight in exterminating gameplay bugs, art issues, and sound problems from MM.
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:
05-001: Camera remains on plunger after ball is launched
First reported: 10 Apr 2012
Description: Occasionally the camera will remain locked on the plunger after the ball is launched.
Devices: Android
Status: Unknown
05-002: Super skill shot impossible to activate on mobile devices
First reported: 16 Apr 2012
Description: It is not possible to hold the left flipper while plunging to activate the super skill shot.
Devices: Android, iOS
Status: Fixed
05-003: Troll bombs can be acquired but not used
First reported: 16 Apr 2012
Description: There is no method to activate troll bombs.
Devices: Android, iOS
Status: Fixed (but see Issue # 05-015)
05-004: Draining 2+ balls simultaneously during multiball serves all of them to the plunger at once
First reported: 19 Apr 2012
Description: If 2 or more balls are lost simultaneously while the ball saver is still on, the game may put all of them in the shooter lane at once. Since the plunger is not strong enough to clear multiple balls out of the lane, the player is unable to continue.
Devices: iOS
Status: Unknown
05-005: Shots made to Damsel ramp sometimes reject shots that should have succeeded
First reported: 21 Apr 2012
Description: Solid shots to the Damsel ramp may come back down the ramp as if they were weak shots.
Devices: Android, iOS
Status: Fixed
05-006: Shots to castle lock while gate is open sometimes destroys castle instead of lighting/awarding lock
First reported: 21 Apr 2012
Description: Very hard shots to the lock may instead destroy the castle.
Devices: Android, iOS
Status: Not a bug. On the real machine, extremely fast lock shots sometimes bounce into the castle and trip the switch there. If the gate is open, hitting this switch will destroy the castle.
05-007: High score does not post to leaderboards
First reported: 23 Apr 2012
Description: Player's scores are not submitted to the online leaderboards.
Devices: iOS
Status: Could not reproduce
05-008: Damsel ramp diverter stays open at incorrect times
First reported: 24 Apr 2012
Description: Damsel ramp diverter is open when it shouldn't be, and directs balls into the tower without registering Damsel Saves.
Devices: Android, iOS
Status: Fixed
05-009: Ramp rejects balls to center drain instead of to a flipper
First reported: 07 May 2012
Description: The peasant and damsel ramps reject to center drain instead of to flippers.
Devices: All
Status: Could not reproduce
Notes: The plastic guides on the ramps reduce the chance of a center drain, but they were never meant to eliminate the possibility entirely.
05-010: Flippers are too far apart
First reported: 17 Apr 2012
Description: The center gap is wider than it should be.
Devices: All
Status: Fixed
Notes: Even though the gap appeared wider, the collision mesh for the flippers was correctly positioned, so that you could hit balls that looked like they would just graze past the right flipper.
05-011: Ball sometimes catches on transition from bridge metal lip to actual drawbridge
First reported: 08 May 2012
Description: Ball sometimes gets caught on some invisible edge between the drawbridge and the metal lip below the drawbridge.
Devices: Android, iOS
Status: Unknown
05-012: Balls do not detect collision properly while in Merlin's saucer
First reported: 24 Jun 2012
Description: If one ball is in Merlin's saucer and another is shot there, the second ball will enter the saucer as if the first is not present.
Devices: iOS
Status: Unknown
05-013: Castles from all players count toward "Destroy 2 Castles" goal in a multiplayer game
First reported: 12 Aug 2012
Description: If Player 1 destroys one castle, then Player 2 destroys one castle, the goal will be completed.
Devices: PS3
Status: Unknown
05-014: Damsel ramp return sometimes massively accelerates ball through right inlane
First reported: 17 Jun 2012
Description: Balls returning from the damsel ramp may suddenly power through the inlane without cause.
Devices: All
Status: Fixed
05-015: Troll bombs are automatically used whenever Trolls!, Royal Madness, Smack-a-Troll! or Battle for the Kingdom is running (Moved to Issue # 00-004)
First reported: 30 May 2012
Description: Troll bombs are automatically used whenever a round that they can be used in starts up.
Devices: Android, iOS
Status: Confirmed, open as of 29 Mar 2013
Notes: See also thread Troll bombs sometimes....
