Collision Problems - Please help

edited November -1 in Working with GS (Mac)
2 problems. Balls are bouncing off walls incorrectly and GS? (blame is most likely on me though) is not detecting a collision.

Setup:
Ball --> Density 1, Friction 3, Restitution 1
Walls --> Density 1, Friction 3, Restitution 0

I have a rule set up so that when the ball overlaps or collides with actors tag'ed wall to minis 1 from bounces.

When I play it, everything runs fine, and the ball bounces, but when I get to really obtuse angles the ball does not bounce right (angle of reflection is off). Also at those obtuse angles if I were to hit the bottom wall, its angular velocity would be 0 and o straight for a wall to the side, and even thought it bounces back (obviously colliding with the side wall), "bounces - 1" does not occur.

Edit** I've also tried using the two demos:
Infinitely Bouncing Balls
Basic Table Tennis Template

    here is a quick video. It bounces right, until the angles are obtuse..

    This scene you are only allowed 1 bounce then after any others instant reset.



    EDIT** also does anyone know why my videos are always grey at the beginning of my videos? They are not before uploaded to youtube...

    I got it, but at the price of 2 new actors....

    I'm pretty sure My game will be complete with only 30 actors. Is will this effect performance? To many?? Thanks guys

    No where near too many, especially if coded well
