The current version of the prototype has many bugs, as will many version in the future. This is inevitable, all we can do is fix them as they come up and then move on.
Some bugs and issues, however, do not want us to move on. Unfortunately there are some quirks with the prototype that I have not been able to fix yet and unfortunately get reported a lot. I would like to list the most common ones here so that you know you are not alone in your struggles and we are aware of the issue.
Items will be taken off this list when/if they ever get fixed, but until then you just have to deal with 'em. Let's get started!
* This game only works in modern, updated browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Opera is iffy and Internet Explorer is just a "no". If you use one of the less-than-desirable browsers and it doesn't work properly you're on your own. Browsers are free, downloads are small, and dealing with Microsoft's backward system is not on my list of priorities. Sorry. :|
* Even though the games works fairly well in modern browsers, it can still lag sometimes and has a really nasty crashing bug its tab goes inactive during a battle. If the transitions are too choppy you should lower your message speed in the "Options" menu, and if you need to switch tabs click the little pause button at the top of the battle window before you do (or wait until you're back at the main menu again). You've been warned.
* Every single turn your actions are sent back to the server and the results sent back to you after being calculated. If your browser session somehow expires while you're in the middle of a battle (maybe you have aggressive cookie settings, maybe you left the battle idle for way too long, etc.) the entire battle will be ruined and you'll have to start over. Hundreds of robots will appear on-screen in a glitched out manner and you will not be able to do anything constructive so don't try. Reload the prototype and see if you need to log in again.
* Slightly related to above issue, sometimes there will be a fatal error on the server and the battle will be unable to continue causing an endless "Loading..." screen. After a set amount of time, an alert will appear asking you if you want to resend your last action, but most of the time it will not work and the battle may need to be restarted entirely. This is obviously a game-breaking bug that should be fixed, but at the moment it's incredibly hard to diagnose. At the very least, any experience points earned in battle before the bug occurs will NOT be lost.
I know this issues are really annoying and can make your throw the mouse across the room, but please understand that I will fix them as soon as I am capable and I feeeeeeeel your pain. Thank you for baring with me and these bugs and thank you soooo much for playing the prototype! :D

@TheDoc : ZeroDXZ:Well this seems abit odd, think i should check it out too... depending on how it works out i will post the picture on the discussion after the experimentation...ZeroDXZ/MaverickHunterZero OUT!.
ok i may NOT have photo evidence, nor do i want to go through the stress to get it, i have found a LITTLE Bug,...that causes my game to FREEZE! and it's getting REALLY annoying,...it's happened to me 5 times now, as i try to go against MetaKirbSter -_- please,...someone please help me..
In other words, if you leave the game on too long it automatically logs you out and weird stuff happens (although you might already know this but just in case you didn't :D ).

@MetaKirbSter : Yea, a lot of people know about the whole auto-logout thing, so I figured you technically knew, but sometimes it slips our my mind, so reminding you of that is the best I can do.
So everyone told me to reset because stuff and supposedly I would keep my Starforce. Meta and a few others told me that I would keep my 1024 Starforce when I reset, but apparently I didn't. Is this normal?
@Shadownnico : IDK, Not really. Tho i have my cossack symbol, aswell as light's (Since i beat light's), But why cossack symbol still? Cool for me. Sorry shadow.
@Shadownnico : It takes about a day for your starforce to come back. It took about day for mine to come though, so just give it some time, and you get them back.

Everytime I beat a Bonus Field (Bonus Field II), Field Support is automatically equipped to the robots that won in my party if they didn't have it equipped already. Haven't been able to check if this occurs on a loss.

@Adrian Marceau : ADRIAN, HELP ME! MY TOURNEY RP THREAD IS GLITCHING! HOW CAN I FIX THIS WITHOUT DELETING ANY OF THE COMMENTS OR THE THREAD ITSELF?!?! CAN YOU HELP ME?!?!?!He's referring to this [thread](https://prototype.mmrpg-world.net/community/roleplay/1128/dark-man-s-tournament-of-the-mmrpg-legends/). The first post of each page is blank and incredibly long, most likely as Doc said, it being 45 pages.
Internet Explorer 11 is MUCH more than a 'no', at this point. I've been playing Prototype *on IE 11 for the better part of 9 months with [so close, it makes no difference] no major problems whatsoever. :P

Glitch: Ahem *puts on smart-people glasses
When going to select Wily in the Home section of the game, highlighting your cursor over Wily will have all of the Robot Masters transform to their taunt sprite, right? Well, if you take a close look at Bubble Man, his blue scuba thingie is, for some reason, in inverted colors. Not a major glitch, but just a minor detail that needs to be patched. Thank you for your time.
