**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:**  
_Fighting the Gate in GW and when I select a troop all this pops up but tapping any of the buttons doesn’t do anything. I’m unable to cast any spells or see my troop’s picture._

**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**  
_Started just a few minutes ago, and is only in GW._

**Steps to make it happen again**  
_Go to GW\>Select first battle (the gate) and play._

This was a known issue already, it’s appeared in other game modes - but ill double check if its the same conditions.. as in, cant cast spells

Although, differing in this case cos all your overlays and buttons are overlapping..

@Tdazzle what happened before this? You just mentioned

> [@Tdazzle](#):
>
> Go to GW\>Select first battle (the gate) and play.

but what actions were taken after the battle started? Or did you load in and the square appeared instantly and you took this screenshot?

cos I am unable to reproduce this so far by just launching into a Guild Wars battle

I loaded the battle and tapped Soothesayer since she starts the battle with full mana. Didn’t even make a move, just brought up the troop. It did this with all my troops.

I restarted the game and it seems to have stopped for now, but I’m still down a battle for today’s war.
