Known Bugs

My Singing Monsters, My Singing Monsters: Dawn of Fire, Thumpies, and various spin-offs of the two games have had or still at present have a variety of bugs. The following is split between not yet patched and fixed.

Broken Monsters
On Android devices, occasionally monsters in costume have their spreadsheet glitch out, causing them to break into many pieces and arranged in the wrong way.

Silent Monsters
Sometimes in in various islands, when listening to the song, some monsters would go very quiet for one verse. Examples of monsters that are affected are Bowgart on Plant Island and Rare Wubbox on various islands. This happens especially on gold island, as the cause of the glitch is too many monsters, even if its the same monster.

Slow response to any actions
The fact that the game sometimes respond slowly will never ever be fixed, due to its nature of being a network-dependent game. Sometimes the game will respond very slowly even though you are trying to collect coins/shards or diamonds or food, sending eggs to the nursery, breeding, selling eggs from the nursery, placing a monster, etc.

This bug can be dealt with by...


 * 1) Use a newer device (as long as you bind your account to transfer)
 * 2) Stand closer to a Wi-Fi modem
 * 3) Have some spare data on your phone or other device that can use cellular.

Chief-ly slow response
A Tribal Island chief cannot place a monster if they had already removed another monster, nor can they remove a monster if they had already placed another monster. This can be dealt with by logging out (by going to the "Options" menu and then tapping on the "Log Out" button) and logging in (by pressing the "Play" button) back and forth.

Kayna Takes All the Light
On Tribal Island, when Kayna is out of her amber, she sings the 1st half of her song over and over during the entire song, while the part she is meant to sing is unaffected with her singing normally then.

Compositions Refuse To Move
When switching from different Composer Islands via the "Islands" section of the Market, the song continues to stay the same. A video example can be heard here.

Noncomposed Monsters Refuse To Sleep
On Composer Island, when you mute a monster you haven't composed a part for yet, it won't display it's muted pose, but still produces rest symbols.

Tribal Island Drumpler Glitch
I don't know how to describe this one...

Daily Goal pluralisation of plural Crafting Items
In Daily Goals that require Crafting Items that already end with "s", the game will wrongly simply add "s" to the Crafting Items. Crafting Items affected include Sunglasses, String Noodles, Bouncy Mattress, Curry Noodles, Sour Ice Drops, and Earmuffs. This has still not been fixed as of yet.

Goals and Map at the same time
It's possible to bring the goals and map up at the same time. First, you press the map button. Then, you press any counter. An "Available Monsters" menu should pop up. Last, press the goals button while the menu is up.

Upgrade button shows diamonds but costs coins
Ever since the Castle can be upgraded with coins instead of crystals, the "Upgrade" icon (includes a diamond, a plus sign and an upwards arrow) still remains the same, leaving the diamond symbol to appear, and not changing it into a coin symbol.

Cannot move teleported monster
Sometimes when you teleport a monster such as Clamble to Space Island, the monster cannot be moved from its default place unless placed, leading to some players to have to remove decorations or monsters to allow room for the teleported monster. As well as this, the monster does not appear on its tile.

Krillby Animation Glitch
On Cave Island, the Krillby, after it sings, will keep doing its singing animation, but not actually produce its sound, infinitely.

Cannot load Continent in Version 1.9.0
On some newer devices running Version 1.9.0's Dawn of Fire (such as iPad Mini 2), the game does not load after returning to or arriving at Continent.

Also in Version 1.9.0, the game always gets slow to load back to Continent or do any other loading action, always happening after sending anything to a friend's Skyship. To remedy this, force-quit the game and reload; if it still doesn't work, then force-quit again and then wait for a while before playing Dawn of Fire again. This sort of glitch has happened in devices such as iPad Mini 2.

This bug is still yet to be fixed.

PomPom with scary mouth
In My PomPom, there is still yet a glitch where PomPom's mouth is sometimes strangely shaped.

Rising and not playing
In My Mammott, pressing certain actions in the "Tricks" submenu will only make the Mammott background rise up or down and not make the Mammott do anything.

Loading screen modifying "O-head" monster
There used to be a bug where loading a new updated version would modify the "O-head" of the My Singing Monsters wordmark. This has been fixed since Version 1.3.3.

PomPom and Noggin dressup control
In 2016, the PomPom and Noggin in Tribal Island could not do singing animations and instead stayed in its idle animation. This had been fixed since several days after their dressup for Halloween.

Mammott "dancing its feet off"
During Christmas season 2014, when the Mammott dressed up, on Shugabush Island, when it sings, its feet (and shoes) would glitch out and "detatch". This has been fixed since the Yool departed in 2014.

Inconsistant correction of StarShop
In Version 2.0.0, one of the loading tips shows "Missed out on a Rare? It may return during a rerun or reprise promotion... Or you can get the ones you're missing anytime in the StarShop!" even after the Rares had been removed from the StarShop all-year round. This was fixed as of Version 2.0.1., where the description surrounding tips for obtaining the Rares had been changed to "Missed out on a Rare? Check back offen - it may be available for a limited time in a special promotion or in the Starshop!".

Refferal Codes
Between Version 2.0.0. (is it Version 2.0.0 glitch start?) and 2.0.2, the Refferal codes did not work. If the button was clicked and the code is entered, when the 'submit' button was selected, no diamonds were received on either side. This was fixed as of Version 2.0.3.

Dip-less Dipsters
Prior to the 2.0.3 update, on android devices, if an island wasn't completely slowed through the time machine at certain times dipsters would make a sound but not rise from the ground. if an island was sped up in any way, no dipsters would come up at all.

Yool be shocked about this
The Rare Yool, strangely enough, does not appear in the shop of the Mirror Cold Island shop. It is still possible to breed. This was fixed several hours after introduction to Cold Island.

No Icon for Rare Kazilleon
If you look in the Book of Monsters of Ethereal Island, you will see that the Kazilleon and Rare Kazilleon have the same icons. This has been fixed in a later loading update of 2.0.3.

Market crash
In Version 1.9.0, on some platforms the Market crashed after one visited a player's market via the public Market. This was fixed in version 1.9.1.

Cannot daily roll in Version 1.8.0
In Version 1.8.0, players could not roll any cosmic dice, leading to frustration among various players. My Singing Monsters game administrators had found out this already and planned to give free bonus rolls. After 5 days of this issue, Version 1.8.1 was released, fixing that issue and granting those players of Version 1.8.1 free 12 bonus rolls.

Structures stuck
From Version 1.6.1, there used to be a glitch where some structures cannot be moved once placed. This was fixed as of Version 1.7.0.

Backwards timers
Sometimes the timers can end up showing backwards when flipping a Structure like the Breeding Structure.

This glitch is fixed as of Version 1.7.0.

Replace diamonds with diamonds?
In Version 1.4.0., there used to be a humorous glitch in Dawn of Fire where payment of diamonds to replace diamonds when buying the Level 7 Castle is required. This is fixed as of Version 1.5.0, where it asks to go to the Shop to buy more, instead of asking to replace diamonds with diamonds.

No Avatar for Plixie
On November 1st, 2016, there was a glitch where even if you unlocked the Plixie, you couldn't select its avatar due to it not being available. This glitch was fixed in Version 1.9.0.

Second-guessing Crafting Items
In Version 1.6.0, the introduction of exclamation points above Structures that have done some Crafting has lead to manufactured Crafting Items not to appear in the Structures. This made players had to second-guess what Crafting Items they were making from the Structures. This was soon fixed in Version 1.6.1.

Variable names as labels instead of real labels
From Version 1.5.1, logging out from the app and leading back to the startup menu used to cause the variable names to pop up instead of the actual label names. This has lead to monsters' codenames to popup, such as "Monster_Name_CDF_Stretchneck" for Thrumble or "Monster_Name_BEF_Tubahorn" for Sooza, leading to a leak in monster codenames.

This bug was fixed as of Version 1.6.0.

Weathered Mix-Ups
In December's Star Chart "Weathered Winds", they accidentally showed January's Water Star Chart. This was fixed on Version 1.9.1.

Other Games - Fixed
