<summary>I encounter a DebuggerException when I try to play the game</summary>

We have some security protections in place against jailbroken devices and the use of debuggers. Please enjoy the game using default phone settings. \
\
Affyn adopts a stricter posture when it comes to security and makes proactive measures to safeguard our game using protections used in banks and some top tier games. This form of shielding detects hooking frameworks, repackaged apps, rooted or jailbroken devices as well as debugging capabilities and exits the game before modifications could be made.

This unfortunately affected certain devices with hooks, developer or debug modes turned on natively or in the background, and your device likely belongs to one of the affected categories. However, we deem this guardrail as a necessary precaution given the financial benefits of this game so everyone could have a fairer and more enjoyable experience.

You may want to try using a different device if your device is unable to play the game.

<summary>How do I utilize my NFT skins in the game?</summary>

Ensure that you are logged in to your Affyn account and that the wallet containing your Buddy NFTs (or partner NFTs) is bound to your Affyn account. If you have just added the NFT to your wallet, restart the game to update your account.

You can then [equip your Buddy skin](https://docs.affyn.com/en/our-metaverse/buddy-arena/faq#how-do-i-purchase-or-equip-my-buddy-skins) from the `BUDDIES` tab.
