Stacks Wars

Lobby problems

Cannot create or join, lobby gone, lobby full.

Unable to create lobby

Why: Missing auth, insufficient USDCx for paid entry, validation errors (player count, settings), or vault join failure.

Fix:

  1. Confirm you are signed in.
  2. Check Wallet balance ≥ entry (+ fees if shown).
  3. Retry create after a failed vault tx only once the previous tx confirms or clearly fails.
  4. Soft-refresh and try again with simpler settings.

Retry: After balance updates or the previous Stacks tx settles.

Support: Create still fails with a confirmed vault join tx id attached.

Unable to join lobby

Why: Lobby full, private pending approval, insufficient balance, invalid/expired vault tx, or lobby already started/closed.

Fix:

  1. Confirm status is still waiting.
  2. For private rooms, wait for host approval.
  3. Complete vault join with a fresh flow if the UI asks again.
  4. Ask the host to re-invite if the room was recreated.

Retry: After approval or funding; do not spam joins with the same failed tx.

Lobby no longer exists

Why: Host closed the room, it expired while idle, or the match already finished.

Fix: Return to Lobbies / game page and open a new room. Pending claims (if any) remain under Wallet.

Retry: N/A — create or join another lobby.

Support: You had a confirmed stake and no leave/claim path after expiry (include tx ids).
