Glitchcast

**Glitchcast** refers to a wide variety of glitches that happen on apps belonging to the Othernet LLC. The users of FrameCast and DrawCast coined the term ‘Glitchcast’ and became a name to describe massive glitches that would sometimes occur.

## Known glitches

### Frame glitches

* One of the most infamous glitches on FrameCast is a phenomena in which many or all of your frames will turn black. These frames were corrupted, and if your animation has any corrupted frames, it cannot be uploaded. This was never patched.
* Sometimes, 10-20 frames would flat out get deleted. This was never patched.
* Random layers merging and deleting was also a very common experience for both FrameCasters and DrawCasters. In one update, Cota had claimed that he had patched this glitch, but it had persisted still throughout the entire runtime of both apps.
* The last frame of an animation would not show up in the final uploaded product when uploaded to FrameCast. This was never patched, but it was exploited by some users to make thumbnails invisible.

### Uploading glitches

* The most famous glitch was simply dubbed The Glitch, and is described in its own article.
* There have been claims that some users' projects would not upload despite having zero corrupted frames, this was likely caused due to the frame amount being too close to the 15 minute limit. This was never patched.
* If you redraw a project on the same canvas you uploaded a project on, the old project would be replaced with the new one. This can be prevented by making a copy of the original project and using that instead.

### Account glitches

* If an account name had less than 2 characters in it, attempting to access the users' photo portfolio would crash your app. This was never patched.
* If your account name had an emoji in it, it would count as 2 characters. It is not known if this was actually a glitch.
* Sometimes upon creating a new account, it renders you unable to log in to that account for a period of time. This usually ends with a user somehow ending up with two similarly named accounts, because it seemed like the account was not created. This was never patched.
* Accounts with certain names would sometimes appear following the viewer despite having never done so, and would render with 0 followers, yet when clicking the button to show followers, multiple followers would render.

### Network glitches

* Network errors and login errors (usually displayed as network errors 0 & 1) were very frequent. They were never patched.

### Miscellaneous glitches

* A glitch found on both apps was the ability to close ads simply by double tapping the home button on an iOS and quickly returning to the app. This was never patched.
* Sometimes, entire projects would disappear completely. This was never patched.
* Tags with special ASCII characters would not display any of the art with the tag when viewed, even if multiple art pieces were tagged with it. This was never patched.
* Sometimes, tags would disappear if a drawing got too popular. It can still be viewed in the tags section. This was never patched.
* Rapidly growing posts may be seen with more likes than views. This was not acknowledged or widely known until a drawing of Sans had skyrocketed to Most Popular. This was never patched.
* If a post you liked is deleted, the like count will show up as 0 with a red heart. If you remove your like, the value will change to -1. This was never patched.
