If you're locked out or crashing, follow the fixes below—written in plain language by someone who has fought these exact FrontWars bugs.

⚠️ Critical Workarounds (Fix These First)

High Priority

1) The "Connection Refused: Invalid Color" Error

Critical

The Symptom: Instant kick when joining Multiplayer with a red error: "Connection refused: invalid color: Color #000000 not allowed."

The Cause: Anti-cheat rejects Pure Black (#000000) or multiple tabs triggering a false positive.

✅ The Fix: Main Menu → Nation/Profile → Change Color/Pattern to anything but pure black → Refresh. This bypasses the FrontWars glitch and lets you connect.

2) Factory Connection Failure ("South" Refresh)

Gameplay

The Symptom: You place a Factory beside a City Stack, but the supply line never links and production stays idle.

The Reality: A grid update/pathfinding FrontWars bug stops the adjacency from registering.

✅ Community Fix: Drop any building directly to the South of the stuck stack. It forces a grid refresh and clears the FrontWars glitch instantly.

✅ Resolved Issues (Recent Patch)

Deployed

The "Alliance Betrayal" Logic Error

Status: Fixed. Clicking "Ignore" on an Alliance Request was falsely treated as "Accept," triggering betrayal debuffs later. The logic now behaves correctly.

Leaderboard Sorting & Display

Status: Fixed. The player row stuck at #5 and the "Troops" column showed lifetime totals instead of current army size. Sorting by Gold/Troops/Land now works.

Visual Text Rendering

Status: Fixed. Upgrade text rendering as broken white Times New Roman has been patched with the correct assets.

Trading Button Deadlock

Status: Fixed. "Start Trading" and "Stop Trading" buttons no longer stick.

🔴 Active Known Issues (Devs Investigating)

Tracking

1) Random White Screen Crash (Singleplayer)

Severe

Details: Long singleplayer sessions can blank to white and crash—likely a rendering memory leak.

ℹ️ Advice: Use Incognito Mode to strip extensions, and refresh every 2-3 matches to dodge this FrontWars crash until a patch lands.

2) Multiplayer Mid-Game Freeze ("The ZZZ Bug")

Details: Your client freezes while the server flags you as "zzzZZZ". A desync FrontWars glitch that often costs the match.

3) Mobile & Tablet Zoom Glitch

In Progress

Details: On iOS/iPad, pinch-to-zoom and pan stop working because touch is interpreted as browser gestures. Listed in recent logs; optimization underway.

🚫 Mythbusting: "It's Not a Bug"

Read First

Before you file a report, check these. They're intentional mechanics—not FrontWars bugs.

Fast Mode Upgrade Cap (1 Click/Sec)

The Report: "I click 50 times a second but only get 1 upgrade."

The Reality: Hard cap of 1 upgrade per second to stop auto-clickers. Not a FrontWars bug.

Macro Input Blocking

The Report: "Controls freeze after I spam units."

The Reality: Spam protection kicks in after ~20-25 rapid clicks. Anti-cheat, not a FrontWars glitch.

"Overpowered" Bots

The Reality: On "3 Skulls" difficulty, bots get a 1.5x–2x resource/troop multiplier by design.

MIRV "Blind Spot"

The Reality: MIRVs split before impact, leaving a tiny safe zone at center. Use a Hydrogen Bomb for a guaranteed wipe.
