**Platform, device version and operating system:** Steam, 5.2, Windows 10 **Screenshot or image:** ![Screen 1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/5/9/59c0f7c9cfe4771b6ae21e1c2b1e9df49874051a.png) ![Screen 2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/a/2/a2c1baa32737549fb7e294a377a2a7c910473433.png) **What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:** Attempting to start an arena match with the 5.2 Update. I can select the first three troops, and then the 4th troop defaults to the 3rd troop again. Upon selecting the 4th troop, the game errors out and restarts. **How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?** Happens every time I start an Arena match. Began after updating to 5.2 on Steam. **Steps to make it happen again** No special steps. Happens without fail upon trying to start Arena. ---

Thank you we’re investigating this now Do you know if you had already started an arena run before updating but hadn’t selected your troops yet? ---

I might have - I don’t do arena often, so not 100% sure. ---

Same issue for me @Kafka, and yes, I was already in arena and hadnt selected troops yet. When the game gives the above error message, it restarts the game and then I come back and it says « continue the battle » giving me the same loop again. There is no way to quit or get out of this cycle. Unlike original poster, I am not on Steam, playing on mobile, iPad ---

This should be fixed by the end of the day! Sorry about that. I’ve made an article for the issue: [https://gemsofwar.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001999256](https://gemsofwar.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001999256) ---

Happens more often than you think. Sequence of events 5.2 update is out Check arena… old version. Quit game, update, reload Enter arena… oops, you found the bug. 🤦‍♂️ ---

When I go to recruit the third troop, the game freezes and boots me out. I have rebooted xbox and still the same. This has happened three times. Is this a known bug? ---

Thanks for the info. I didn’t know if it was the same since mine doesn’t say troop error it just completely locks up and boots out to the beginning. ---
