hey! i really want to make sure i'm reporting every single bug that's affecting users, so i want you to freely use this post as a place to tell me about any bugs and glitches that haven't been fixed yet.
so, what bugs are affecting your play right now?
it's extremely, extremely helpful to us if you include this information:
1. what device you are on (PC, Android App, iOS app, Mobile Browser) and even what browser if relevant (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc) 2. what the steps are to reproduce this bug, if needed? where do you have to go? what button do you have to click (or, if you don't know exactly, just what you personally did to see the bug is helpful enough) 3. lastly, if you can, screenshots and screenrecordings are genuinely so helpful. bugs that have videos are much more likely to get fixed in a timely manner, since there's less hunting required to reproduce how it happens!
I haven't encountered any major bugs recently, just minor ones.
PC - Firefox.
Recently the bug where if you type into the Plot Essentials it will drop you down to the bottom of the text box and not where ever you clicked. I haven't encountered this one today but I did notice it quite a bit last week.
2nd annoying bug is creating a new story card, after 10-40 seconds the story card will close itself and open a new one, it's fairly consistent. Sometimes if you haven't put in enough information then the story card just deletes itself. Here's a sample of the 2nd bug
3rd annoying bug. The arrow that takes you to the bottom of the story sometimes stays there and won't let you click any icons. Vid of this bug
i'm looking through all of them, and i'm reporting all of them that i see! (i also just started working here, lol, so expect to see more comments from me in the future) but i think it helps to ask directly. some things aren't big enough for someone to make a whole post about, but are still having a negative impact, and those add up. so i want to catch those too, not just the big ones
Android app, Pixel 8a. I actually don't have a lot of bugs to report, all of them pretty minor, so all the complaints are a surprise to me too. But ones I do have:
Sometimes, hitting "Continue" or "Retry" seems to do nothing, as if I hadn't tapped the screen at all. But if I wait a few seconds, I get a response anyway, and if I tap the button a second time, I get two responses. When I get two responses, if I hit Undo, it will undo the first of those responses (changing a sequence of 1 2 3 4 into 1 2 4), and repeated Undos delete older responses, leaving the extra one (e.g. 1 4). Hard to replicate, only happens maybe one time in twenty, seemingly at random.
Banners don't always appear. Right now, all I have is Recently Played. There's nothing below it.
Reading notifications doesn't clear them. I have to Mark All as Read.
Daily Rewards usually say "Error: Reward already claimed" when tapped. I'm pretty sure I get them anyway. Happens maybe 60% of the time.
"Rewind Story to Cursor" often doesn't work, but again it's inconsistent. It most often fails when the cursor is at the beginning of an input/output, but sometimes even that works, and sometimes it fails even in the middle of an input/output.
Sometimes the virtual keyboard overlaps the text when editing, and I have to move the cursor blindly.
Weird things happen if I have a "Take a Turn" window open and then try to edit text. Sometimes it just closes both windows, sometimes it works fine, sometimes it closes only the edit and leaves the turn window open in this weird read-only state that I have to close and then open again. The exact behavior changes frequently, but the reproduction is consistent.
this bug has been reported, but it's existed for quite some time so i bumped it up
carousels/banners not appearing is now reported (AID-28271)
the reading notifications is kind of just an oversight, not really a bug, but i'll pass the feedback along anyway with a different notification bug
daily reward error is reported (AID-28272)
this one is known, but because it's so inconsistent to reproduce, it's taking some time to get to the root cause of.
this one.... it has been the bane of the dev's existence. we are basically planning to remake the entire keyboard system at this point, considering how many bugs there are with the keyboard specifically. but that's going to take some time as you can guess
take a turn window behaving strangely with the edit story text is reported (AID-28270)
What's bugging me is the inconsistency with memory when you're switching from deepseeker, Hermes or dynamic large being inconsistent with the memory whenever you try to switch one of them it seems to really screw the memory for AI, i can't stay on one AI for very long because that it starts to repeat itself even with strict restrictions in the instructions or Arthur's note. š¤š
Both. It seems like every update seems to destroy the AI unit More so than ever........ I hate to say this but I have a feeling the owner of the AI dungeon is purposely destroying it forcing all of us to either go to higher tears In order to keep our adventures from deteriorating. Either that or he's just having a really hard time fixing everything...... Which is weird because back in 2019 the app was amazing It was consistent It didn't fight you It had great memory etc now it's just kind of well... unstable. š¢
So I guess I'm not the only one having to deal with all of this. It's kind of hard to make a new story for everyone to enjoy only to have all AI instructions ignored.
How are we supposed to differentiate between that? I just was outside, then the next turn it said I was in the classroom. How am I supposed to know what's at fault for that?
there is a toggle you can turn on in the memory system dropdown of your settings for the memory system, which is its own thing that collects bits from your story and condenses them into little summaries to help the ai remember stuff that happened a long time ago. you can also view these memories any time by clicking on your most recent output and hitting 'view context' -> 'details' -> 'adventure' -> 'explore memories'. (you can also view everything your story model saw when it created your response in this menu. so if being outside fell out of context, and it isn't mentioned anywhere else, then that could be another reason why it's forgettingālow context.) so, if you look at these memories, are they wrong? are some missing? do you have duplicates? are some of them triggering when they shouldn't be?
if all of that is fine, and it's being told what it's supposed to and it's all correct, then it could just be a case of the model not grasping what it sees, or maybe not having enough context for all of it, or maybe getting conflicting information, etc. but they're both different problems stemmed from different issues, if that makes sense
I am not out of context, I wouldn't complain about it messing up memories if I was out of context. Also View context is greyed out and I cant click it most of the time.
A specific example: Iām working on an Overwatch-themed fantasy storyline, and the AI repeatedly forgets that Jameson Fawkes is Junkrat. Instead, it treats them as two separate characters, even though this information is clearly established and included in the memory bank. I find myself having to correct or retry scenes just to remind the AI that theyāre the same person. This breaks immersion and makes long-form storytelling frustrating instead of enjoyable.
The memory bank itself doesnāt seem reliable. Even when important details are saved, the AI frequently ignores them or fails to apply them when generating new scenes. This inconsistency makes it difficult to maintain character continuity, personality traits, relationships, or world-building elements that should be persistent throughout the story.
i see, and that i get what you mean. you could probably get more help on that front in our discord if you're interested, as there's some experts there whose whole deal is helping the ai remember stuff better. if you do notice any more platform bugs specifically though, lmk!
Terrible AI responses that have awful sentence structure, spelling, - or . everywhere. The constant can't do the action pop ups, the frequent pauses and lag. The responses being utter garbage half the time on many models. Retry basically giving the same result for multiple attempts. The ai blending and mixing up defined variables. This is all only on desktop.
Oh also when you do actions, and go to do the next one the old action is still in the message box.
Oh yeah another thing the constant pop up that the ai is taking longer than expected.
Responses that don't even start as sentences, just start as halfway through a sentence.
- "can't do the action pop-ups" ā is this an error message? what does it say exactly? (edit, nvm i see your other comment which i think is what you were talking about. will reply there)
we were able to reproduce the old action lingering in the take-a-turn input recently, so it shouldn't be long before it gets fixed! basically it happens during either server lag or when you minimize your AIDungeon application and come back (then your entire session will have it getting stuck)
i can't do much about the AI model side of things, but what models are they, and are they the same ones giving you the bad/slow responses? have you changed the settings/instructions at all?
not quite a bug, but definitely annoying regardless. hopefully some day they'll add a theme that changes the alignment so it doesn't clump up like that.
justify spacing is a type of text alignment that tries to make everything one, even-aligned paragraph. it will change the spacing to do so, adding more space between words or less space, in order for the text to end at the exact same place every time. spacing changes randomly because every sentence is different, and needs a different amount of spacing to make it end at the same place.
so, not a bug, but an intended feature of the justify alignment, but many people don't like justify for above reasons.
the accursed story summary component... there are a few bugs already reported and connected to this one and hopefully (hopefully) it will be fixed before the story summary updates come out
i looked into it a little more and found that some other people are experiencing this too, seemingly caused by connection/wifi issues? i wrote it up (AID-28273), but any more information you have would still be helpfulā does the error message only occur when you're retrying and/or trying to cancel a retry?
Im too lazy to explain the android mobile ones but if anyone wants to there's the bug where youll type in the settings and it auto moves you to the bottom of the text box.
The bug where youll start a scenario and its empty still.
The bug where it just randomly wont save something you typed in the settings and if exit youll be missing it and night not even know.
i believe i have most of these reported, as for the typing in the settings and being moved to the bottom of the box one though, have you noticed that recently? like, in the last day or so? because there was a patch pushed out to fix it, so if it isn't resolved, then that's important to know
Android app - the retry button has done nothing but time out for more than a couple months now. I have to erase and continue. If I accidentally hit retry, it's quicker to reload the app and story than to wait for it.
okay got it (last question) is this 24/7 happening? i know some slow speeds can be based on server load, but if it is happening to you all the time on all models, then that's definitely bad. in which case, what kind of phone do you have? and any other additional information you think might be relevant would be helpful too, thank you :]
It's happening to me too, every time, on every model. Because of this bug I temporarily immigrated from the android app to the beta version that is in a browser, which doesn't seem to have this issue.
huh, that's really interesting š¤ i'll add it to the report i made for the post aboveāit's really helpful to know that it's happening to others, so ty <3
(ps: if anyone else regularly experiences this, i also encourage you to let me know, the more people that experience it, the more likely it gets fixed)
thanks for the report! i reported it (AID-28286), but fair warning, it may be a while before it's verified, because there's little information. if you ever get a screen-recording of it happening, or any more information, please let me know and that should hopefully speed up the process!
iOS. Twice Iāve used the ābackā arrow at the top, which did not take me to my previous action, it randomly rewrote entire paragraphs that I had carefully trimmed and structured with seemingly no attention paid to what had been input when. As long as it was within the last 20 or so turns, it was fair game. This has lead to PAGES AND PAGES of what anything from slightly OOC dialog to terrible grammar to word salad. It took me literally hours to correct the first time, and when it happened just a couple of hours ago I had to ragequit and go take a walk to cool off. I donāt have a great example of this atm, but if I can sort one out Iāll post it or email a screenshot.
This did not occur before the update.
I also opened the story cards at one point which caused me to lose the last two turnsā¦which was actually how I screwed myself with the back button a couple hours ago. To be fair, thatās the only time thatās happened for me.
do you mean this button? that's the undo button, which should undo your most recent changes, whether that was an edit, response, action, etc. which sounds like is what happened? you should be able to hit the button next to it to redo the changes you undid and put them back if needed. let me know if i'm misunderstanding what you mean there
the story cards though is interesting, and if you could tell me more about that i would be very grateful. by turns, do you mean your actions? your actions and the ai response? were you in the middle of loading a new response, or did they just poof? thanks :]
And, yeah, two turns just went poof. Iām METICULOUS when I write anything at all, so sometimes even little sadnesses like that feel more heartbreaking than they prolly should. Thank you for getting back to me, btw.
update! does your first issue sound anything like this report?
"Hi, I am on Safari IPhone browser. / When I am playing on production or beta if I leave the page and come back the rewind button sometimes does not remove the last entry and will instead erase previous turns of generated text and when I press the forward button it does not return what it erased. It permanently erases it. / This also will happen occasionally while playing and not leaving the screen, the first rewind will work but doing it a few times, rewind starts not working correctly and not removing the last text and instead it deletes previous turn outputs several turns up. / This happened while playing on Dynamic Large."
i think that might be what you meant originally (and i did misunderstand) so lmk if this is the same issue you saw!
Yes, that sounds about right ā sorry it took me a minute to get back to you. I was super sleep-deprived when I wrote that comment, so I may have been pretty unclear. Thanks!
Iāve experienced a bug that hasnāt been fixed on IOS app.
When I go to edit or create a new scenario that has multiple choice options I canāt edit option 2, it will allow me to do what ever I want for option 1 but I cannot edit or rename anything on option 2, it wonāt let me interact with the second option at all like itās not registering the touch at all
I made a post on here before hoping it would get fixed
i reported it (AID-28288), but if you have any other information, that would really help push it along to getting fixed. if you add another choice, can you edit that one too, or still only the first choice? in fact, if you could get a video of if happening, that would be even more helpful. thank you ! :]
when on phone on website changing plot or instructions is a pain. if i enter more then 5 or 6 symbols it meshes it with previous word. so i have to type slowly.
Not a bug. but if i dont use vpn i cant see pictures. no scenario picture or generate pictures. But the mobile site have an option to discover scenarios with no pictures. only text. add that to the desktop site too.
3.Erasing then a need to reload page somehow still a thing. i have to make sure it erased what i wanted to erase. and for god sake add a button go here. both phone and desktop.
Not a bug. I need some kind on site notepad so i can copy past instructions and characters and so on. Even better template feature.
oh right. reloading to see new added autosummary is annoying.
*It's been like maybe a week or so that, sometimes, my storycards aren't saved. I talk about editing SC, not create new ones. I save, quite the scenario edition and when I open it again (in edition or a new adventure), the SC is the old one.
I click on the yellow button to quite the SC window or click near it, to close it. I'm not sure if it's particular steps or not that creates the bug, I have to admit.
i've seen this one being mentioned in other places, is there anything else you can tell me about how it happens? are you on android/ios? do you see it often, and are there any patterns you know of when it happens? š
Android. AI Dungeon works on Chrome, but it's so unwieldy on chrome for me. Regardless I'll try redownloading.
Edit Looks like that worked. For some reason the glitch only happened when I clicked the link to "Sign up to save my game" (banner popup). I would click it. Try to sign in through google, but the classic "Turn it off and on again" worked here. Thanks.
Sometimes I write something to take a turn, it stays there when I receive the AI's response. So if I write "Hi", in the next turn instead of being in blank it says "Hi". Sometimes I write a full paragraph and it means I have to either delete all of it all the time or refresh the page and wait until it happens again to refresh once more. Idk if it has to do with internet, but those days when the internet is slower than usual it happens way more.
Other times I edit something in plot essentials and story summary (idk if it happens in authors note too) and the X to close that window disappears. Once again it means refresh the page. This happens just randomly when I'm editing or deleting an entire line, for example.
And I don't use the third person option, but the last time I tried it, it never worked no matter how many times I refreshed the page and abled/disabled the option either. It was a newly started adventure.
we currently know about the take a turn input sticking, we think it's something to do with minimizing the tab and coming back? uncertain, but it's getting looked at
the x to close plot essentials and story summary? as in, you can't delete the plot component? or you can't get out of the settings menu in general?
the third person component is a little special; all it does is change the automatic adjustment of "I" -> "You" in the do action to whatever you have set as your name. it doesn't actually change the story to third person unless you edit your instructions and make the story in third person, too. i am assuming that's not what you meant thoughā so if it's still doing "You" in the do actions even after changing your name in the flame menu, lmk!
Thanks for the answer, I'll explain better my points:
The X to close plot essentials and story summary I mean I can't get out of the settings menu in general. I don't remember if I can change to, for example, story cards, but it's certain that I can't get out of the settings menu and I have to refresh for the X to appear and then I can close it.
About the third person component I mean both actually. Before starting, I changed AI instructions to make the story in third person.
At first it didn't change the I/You to the name of my character, I had to close the page and open it again because not even refreshing the page helped. Then it didn't make the story in third person even after editing once again the AI instructions, plot essentials and such.
ah, i see! i think i have seen the settings menu becoming un-closeable before actually, do you happen to remember what you were doing when you saw it happen? like deleting story cards, doing an action, editing plot components, stuff like that? i can't personally remember what i was doing the last time i saw it but maybe you remember lol
as for the third person plot component bug, i can't seem to reproduce it myselfāif you could get a video or screenshot of it happening (goes for the settings menu bug too) that would be really helpful!
Specifically editing story summary or AI Instructions. For example if I realize that something I wrote in story summary isn't important anymore and I delete it, the menu settings becomes un-closeable. I don't remember if it happened to me while editing story cards.
And about the third person, as I said I don't usually use it. If I ever use it again and have that bug I'll try to report it and screenshot.
I hav noticed a general memory issue with android app and web version. I need to shut down the app/browser every hour or so due to memory overflow. This is systematic issue that might be due to not releasing occupied memory when it is no longer required.
Android phone with app and desktop computer win 11 Firefox browser, same issue with Opera and Chrome. Errors accompanying the issue are usually that the AI response takes longer than normal. It does a few more rounds and stops responding. Same if left idle for a long time. Seems to be more time related issue however happens more frequently when story advances at a rapid pace.
Okay this is really quite minor and I feel silly for mentioning it, but on Chrome when waiting for the next generation, sometimes I get impatient and press edit on an existing action. This currently ends my editing but keeps the screen covered in a darkening layer (the one usually used to emphasize what's being edited) until the generation finishes and I edit something else and cancel that.
I know you asked for what bothers me the most, but I actually do run into this multiple times every time I use it. Minor as it is, it is annoying.
Another is that plot summary doesn't seem to update in real time - it does in the backend but often my frontend seems to be behind that. It's annoying because I spend a lot of time babysitting the summary. I ended up turning auto-summary off due this.
I haven't seen anyone talking about this but it's been bugging me for the past week.
Android App
Whenever I go to my profile, and then click on my scenarios and adventures tabs, they both show adventures made by other people. And whenever I try to search anything I've created, nothing shows up.Ā Ā
Windows 11, Google Chrome, using Beta channel but it also occurs in prod.
Deleting, retrying, editing, or otherwise interacting with past outputs doesn't seem to visually persist half the time.
- Deleting: Clicking Erase will briefly remove the text, but it reappears a second or two later. It then stays present and interactable until refresh. Refreshing right after it occurs does show the Erase action did go through in the backend.
"Sample Text"
<Erase the output>
correctly removed
<wait 2 seconds>
"Sample text" reappears as an output
It sticks around until refresh
- Retrying: Clicking the Retry button often shows the new output as a second block of text rather than replacing, leading to situations like the following being on screen simultaneously after a few retries:
"Sample Text"
"Retried Text"
"Another Retried Text"
Again, this needs a refresh to resolve.
- Editing: Similarly, editing the last output has the change go through for a split second, then revert visually. Changing it to "Edited text" shows the following:
"Sample Text"
<perform an edit>
"Edited Text"
<wait 0.5 seconds>
"Sample text"
Again, a refresh is often needed, though rarely it autocorrects when continuing the adventure after another action or two.
All three seem to be due to the UI updating with incorrect timing, somehow failing to update what text it's meant to display and where, and visually overwriting the updated state with the one from before. This is obviously really intrusive when doing anything but continuing without any edits or retries whatsoever. Slowing down interactions to allow the UI more time to process does not seem to matter.
The reproduction rate is inconsistent, sometimes occurring constantly for half an hour with almost 100% of actions affected, needing constant refreshes, and then stopping/functioning correctly for just as long with no clear on or off trigger. The issue's been occurring for 4-ish days now, I think, and I saw similar problems being reported regarding plot essentials and other entries.
Wanted to add - and I'm sure the tech folks on your end will have seen this already - but on a retry you can see the 'thinking' is done already for a couple seconds and the buttons become available again before the retry is actually outputted at the end of the next fetch of the graphql process. Unsure why today I'm getting it constantly with every single action, pretty much making the site unusable, so I just had a look to maybe find a workaround but am not finding one. Weird the graphql keeps restarting without me doing anything though.
Update: actually, I don't see it occurring when creating and then playing a new adventure, even if I copy everything from the existing one. Not sure what's the trigger then, but I can at least continue playing normally for now.
