Common issues + FAQ
When something doesn't behave as expected.
The things people ask first. If your issue isn't here, file a support ticket — we'll add a page.
I signed up but got 'beta_closed' after sign-in.
AwareCAD is in closed beta. Your email needs to be on the beta allowlist before you can complete sign-in. Add yourself to the waitlist at awarecad.com or have an existing operator add your address from the staff console.
I took a call but the row didn't update — I had to refresh.
Realtime should fire within a second. If it doesn't, the page is polling as a fallback (every 20s) and dispatching a local record-changed event so your own clicks reflect instantly. If you're seeing a persistent delay after a hard reload, the websocket has dropped — common on mobile sleep, hotel wifi, or after a long backgrounded tab. Refresh or wait 20s; tell us if it keeps happening so we can dig deeper.
`;tstop` works from one officer's ER:LC chat but not from another's.
The officer whose `;command` doesn't work either (a) doesn't have their Roblox account linked to their AwareCAD member or (b) has the `civilian` role in your community. Check
admin/members. Civilians can't fire commands — that gate is intentional so RP-civilians don't accidentally open dispatch calls.My ER:LC server has no live data after setup.
Re-check the server key on
admin/integrations → Game bridges. Trailing whitespace breaks the key. Confirm the PRC API Pack is enabled on your private server (public servers don't expose the API). The dispatch HUD shows "last polled" — if it never updates, the cron isn't reaching your server.Custom right-click menu won't let me paste in a text field.
It shouldn't — text inputs, textareas, and contenteditable fields all keep the native browser menu so paste / spellcheck / dictionary work. Hold
Shift while right-clicking anywhere to force the native menu in any context. If you're seeing it override on a text input, file a ticket — that's a bug.Can one account own multiple AwareCAD communities?
Yes. Each ER:LC server you run gets its own AwareCAD community with its own subscription. Use the “Run another ER:LC server?” card on
/onboarding (or “+ Create another community” in the sidebar community switcher) to spin up a new one. One ER:LC server key can only be linked to one community at a time though — you can't paste the same server into two communities to split caps.Calls land in the wrong department's queue.
See Multi-agency call routing — specifically the ER:LC team → department mapping. The dispatch UI also lets a dispatcher edit the primary department on an existing call from the call detail page.
Reload button on the error page didn't work.
Hard-reload with
Cmd+Shift+R (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+R (Windows/Linux). The in-page Reload only re-renders the broken tree; a hard reload busts the browser's HTML cache too. Tell us if hard-reload doesn't fix it — that means a real bug, not a stale chunk.Where does Stripe billing currently sit?
Wired but gated until our legal entity (Meridian Operations LLC) finishes formation and business banking is active. During closed beta, every community runs on free Recruit tier with caps relaxed for testers as needed. When billing opens, the subscription card on
admin/community-settings flips on.How do I report a bug?
/contact — the form auto-captures your browser, the page you were on, and (if signed in) your user + community. The more reproduction detail you include, the faster we can fix it.
