Known Bugs

• During my tests I encountered some situations where a refresh of the content failed. Often going back and forth in the assistant or changing something helped to trigger a refresh.
• Android:
  • Warnings from character generation require too much space and push the navigation elements out of the screen (on phones)
  • Character saving does not work. At least characters don't survive uninstalling and reinstalling the application.
  • The card for a created character grows permanently (No clue why - only on Android)
  • Exporting to PDF does not work
• The whole character screen you see when you leave the assistant or re-open a character is not really functional (or better: some sections are, others are not)
• While some derived values and effects from qualities, gear, powers ... are taken into account, most are not. That is not really a bug, but not yet implemented.
• The Matrix tab is unfinished yet
