LAST UPDATE: 12/8/15

This topic contains all non-minor confirmed bugs as of the date above. If you think you've found a bug, please follow these steps:

• Make sure your bug is non-minor. Minor bugs consist of Typos and Tile Errors, as well as learnset problems, which should be reported in their designated topic.
• Check the Common Issues list below. If you see your bug, follow any provided instructions for your issue, and do not make a report.
• If you do not find your bug in the Common Issues list, expand the Wall o' Bugs below that. Use Ctrl+F to search this page for a keyword relating to your issue. For instance, if your bug relates to Sky Drop, search for Sky Drop in the Wall. If you find your issue on the Wall, there is no need to make a report.
• If you don't see your issue in the Common Issues section, or on the Wall o' Bugs, the please make a topic about the problem in this forum. Please describe the circumstances, include any error messages that appeared and if you feel it will be helpful, attach your Save File.
• Please make sure that if you haven't already, to update to Episode 15 prior to posting a Bug Report/Troubleshooting thread. Also, please make sure that you're not playing the Community Release found on the forums (as that's where a lot of bugs occur), but download the official public release for Episode 15 from here; http://www.pokemonreborn.com/game and follow the instructions given on that page.

A struck-through line indicates the error has already been fixed (potentially for the next release).

Common Issues

Long-standing Problems:

• The game crashes on loading my save file.
  * * * This is usually a corrupted save. Roll back your save file, and post it in the Troubleshooting Forum along with your error message.
• The game acts like a key is being pressed constantly whenever I'm in a menu.
  * * * This can happen at random, but is easily fixed by restarting your computer.
• My game froze after I got a "Script is hanging" error.
  * * * This error happens when your computer can't keep up with the game. Avoid running resource-intensive programs alongside the game, and try to limit the Pokemon you keep in a single PC box to about half of the box's capacity. To "Un-stuck" your save file, either roll back your save file, or post it in the Un-stuck Thread.
• I was running around with a poisoned Pokemon, and after the poison faded away, my game crashed.
  * * * This happens very rarely, but since it is so infrequent we have not been able to replicate it to fix the problem. Chances are it will not happen to you twice, so continue playing from where you last saved, with our apologies.
• The overworld suddenly became glitchy, with maps and blackness sliding around large chunks of the screen.
  * * * This happens at random, and like the above, we have not been able to replicate it. Unfortunately, we also cannot fix it even with a save file. Some users report it goes away after re-downloading the game, and others report it goes away at random, eventually.
• Disobedient Pokemon sometimes return a "But there was no target" message when failing to attack, or have bizarre issues in double battles.
  * * * Disobedience is famously glitched, and will be fixed up for E16.

E15 Common Issues:

• I left the Jasper Water Grid and the water level suddenly raised, making me unable to proceed.
  * * * While this issue was fixed for the Public Release, it still affects any save files that reached this part of the game in the Beta/Community Release. Post your save file in the Troubleshooting Forum and ask someone to lower the water for you.
• I left the Coral Water Grid and the water level suddenly raised, making me unable to proceed.
  * * * Post your save file in the Troubleshooting Forum and ask someone to lower the water for you.
• Serra can be re-battled infinitely/Serra crashes the game when talking to her after her battle.
  * * * Refrain from speaking to Serra after completing her gym battle. Also, it is currently my hypothesis that this issue exists only for save files that were carried over from an earlier episode. If you're encountering this problem with a save file started in E15, please post a report indicating so.
• The story events around the Voclain Estate seem to have stopped working/Nobody is present at the Estate when I need to battle Serra.
  * * * Like the above, I believe this is currently only caused by carrying over a save file from earlier episodes while in a certain part of the story. If you get this error with a save file started in E15, please post a report. Otherwise, post your save file in the Troubleshooting Forum.
• Serra walks into a wall after being defeated and leaves the player stuck indefinitely.
  This is caused due to the player exiting the dialogue box too soon. Give Serra the time to finish talking and walking around your character sprite before exiting the dialogue box and you'll be good to go.
• The game crashes when moving to a lower floor in Pyrous Mountain due to a missing map.
  * * * This was fixed in time for the Public Release. Redownload the game to get the missing map file.
• The game freezes when entering the Opal Ward.
  * * * The game is not frozen, but suffering heavy lag due to the weather system. Be patient and let the game load into the map. This should only happen once a week.
• The game crashes when using the Store option in the PC.
  * * * Avoid using the Store option in favor of other organization methods.
• The game crashes after clicking the Books?Books! tile in the Grand Hall.
  * * * Uh... yeah, sorry about that. Don't click there. Reload the game from your last save, or quicksave and post your save file in the Troubleshooting Forum.
• Cancelling an item use turns the battle background black
  * * * This produces script errors but won't necessarily crash the game... It'll look and behave weirdly though. Try to avoid cancelling an item use once you've selected to do so
• Using Revive in a double battle with one Pokemon left... in short, sucks.
  * * * Don't do that, just for now.
