Found something broken in Blockade Brigade or on this website? Thank you for telling us. A good report gets a bug fixed much faster, so here is what helps most.

1. Before you post

- Check What's New: it may already be fixed. In the game it is the button in the bottom-right corner of the main menu, and on the website it is the change log: https://hyva.blockadebrigade.com/changelog
- Look through the Bugs board for the same problem. If someone has already posted it, reply in that thread with your details instead of starting a new one.

2. One thread per bug

Give each bug its own thread, and make the title say what goes wrong in a few words, for example "Game freezes when I sell a tower during a wave".

3. What to put in your report

- Game version: shown on the What's New button on the main menu, and under Settings (the gear on the main menu) > About.
- What you did: the steps, one by one, that lead to the problem.
- What you expected to happen.
- What happened instead (copy any error message word for word).
- How often: every time, sometimes, or only once.
- The map, if it matters: open the pause menu, press Share Map and copy the map code (if it shows one).
- Your computer, if it is a graphics or speed problem: Windows version and graphics card.

4. Send us your debug log

In the game, open Settings (the gear on the main menu) > About. Type a few words in the box ("What happened? (optional)") and press Send debug log. The game sends this run's log and the last run's log, with your folders, emails and keys taken out. It then shows a reference, like "Sent. Reference: ABCD-EFGH". Put that reference in your post so we can find your log.

5. If the game crashed

Tell us what you were doing just before it closed. Then start the game again and press Send debug log straight away: it also sends the log from the run that crashed. If you turn on "Send debug logs when something goes wrong" under Settings > General > Online features, the game sends the log by itself after a crash.

6. Pictures

The forum takes text only, so describe what you see on screen (where it is and what looks wrong). You can take a screenshot with Windows (Win + Shift + S) or with Steam (F12) and add a link to it once you have posted a few times (new members can post links after their first few posts).

7. Website problems

Say which page (copy the address), what you clicked, what you expected and what happened, and which browser and device you use.

8. Status

Every bug thread shows a status next to its title:
- Open: reported, not worked on yet.
- Pending: we are working on it.
- Fixed: fixed. The thread says in which version (for example 0.1.8.1), so check What's New for yours.
The All / Open / Pending / Fixed buttons at the top of this board show only those threads. Dates and times in our replies are US Eastern. Ideas and wishes go on the Feature Requests board instead.

Example report (made up, to show the layout)

Title: Tower menu stays open after the wave ends

Version: 0.1.8.2
When: Oct 19, 2026, about 3:40 PM
What I did: Started a Standard game, placed a Cannon Tower, opened its upgrade menu and left it open until the wave ended.
Expected: The menu closes or keeps working.
What happened: The menu stays on screen and none of its buttons respond. Pressing Esc does not close it.
How often: Every time.
Map code: (pasted from Share Map)
Debug log: sent, Reference: ABCD-EFGH

Thanks for helping us make the game better!
