[known issue] Interface bug

In Guild War the battle interface doesn’t let me select a spell. This happened in the summer, then again in September. This week - again, three such battles! The game is blocked. You can play skulls :skull: , but you’ll get fewer points

Platform: Android

Steps to make it happen again
It happens during a fight with bandits, for example

Before his happened, did you leave Gems of War running in the background on your device/console?

Did you restart the game between those battles? And if you did, do you recall doing some specific action each time before it happened, like click on and view enemy troops?

No. But I use a VPN, and the connection might be getting interrupted

There were two such battles in a row on Saturday. I didn’t do anything unusual with the interface. I definitely didn’t click on the enemy troops.

It’s somehow trying to display troop info on top of the current screen. I’ve had this happen twice several months ago, gut feeling says a while after inspecting teams during Guild Wars. I stopped doing that and it never happened again, might just be coincidence.

Interesting things to note, the flavor text on the right is from Ogre, the “default” troop with lowest id (6000). The bonuses on the left are from a full Drifting Sands team, which neither matches your team nor the opponent team. Whatever triggers this, it doesn’t look it has valid data to operate on.

This issue is usually caused by a null reference, I’ll grab your invite code and pass it onto the team to see what may have been the cause in this instance.

As I don’t think it’s one specific thing that triggers it for everyone.

Do you remember exactly what you did do before this happened though?

I was playing. This error is caused by an attempt to use a spell.
