Problems

Template:S Battle Bridge Hang Template:/s

On JIT and Interpreter, characters will start to jitter just before beginning the first minigame on the battle bridge. This causes the game to hang infinitely while they try to get into place. JITIL does not suffer from this problem and can be used as a work around. See issue 7292 Fixed by 4.0-1706.
