Unexpected error: Unexpected final game state (XX)

The action function does not transition to any state, i.e.

 selectField($field) {
   self::checkAction ( 'selectField' );

 }

Here if $field is 0 there is no transition

     this.connectClass('field', 'onclick', 'onField'); // <-- onField is not defined

Errors is something like "Cannot read property 'is_ai' of undefined". Cannot restart the game because cannot access UI to stop. Likely you get in actplayer state with player id == 0. The only way to fix it is to edit database, globals index == 2 set player id to one of your test dudes (can copy from row 5 for example).
