OP
You have tried to restore the application at least 7+ times to previous working versions You specifically requested restoration to hash 71f998d7fb7a035c6ba72b19a199797d14a9611e Each restoration attempt failed to resolve the white page issue **3. The Persistent Error** Uncaught TypeError: RefreshRuntime.register is not a function This error originates from Vite's React Fast Refresh/HMR (Hot Module Replacement) system It's a development runtime error, not a code error The error persists even after: Removing next-themes package Reinstalling @vitejs/plugin-react-swc Resetting App.tsx and main.tsx to minimal versions Full code restorations **b** Yesterday: The app suddenly rendered correctly (confirmed via screenshot showing Command Center Sign In page) Today: White page again with the same error No code changes were made between it working and not working **Root Cause Analysis (For Support)** This appears to be a Lovable sandbox/dev server state corruption issue, not a user code problem. **Request to Lovable Support** Please investigate and potentially reset the sandbox/dev server environment for this project. The Vite HMR cache or development runtime appears to be in a corrupted state that persists across code changes and restoration attempts. -- It seems to render when I chat with Lovable which is weird.

Reached Lovable support for the second time on the subject as the first reply was anti-user: "We're unable to manually restore projects' If 6 doesn't workand Lovable support comes back again with this type of response I'm considering closing the account with Lovable because we no longer see the benefits to our team. We already lost 3 weeks of prompting to get back to a workable environment. Time is of the essence here. All the best, Robert.

I can't work because the app (solution) is not rendering. There is a white / blank screen issue - it seems the app renders for a short period of time only when I chat with Lovable but that is that. I tried Incognito, another browser it doesn't solve the problem. Therefore I can't see, I can't test, I can't intruct Lovable to make changes. So - I have a lot of credits in the app and I can't make use of them because I'm stuck. Does anyone know any solution to this?

I'm using both the preview in the right of the prompt chat and the preview in a different tab / browser separate from the prompt chat. Both show empty white pages. I just said in the prompt chat: "This is a chat" and then the preview started rendering. Again it works but for how long... This is not a solution.

I think I found the issue. NordVPN might cause this. For everyone out there having the same issue, NordVPN blocks rendering the pages inside the preview.

I don't have any build errors. The restoration is complete, it seems to work. The only thing that does not work (as far as I can understand at this point) is the rendering in the Preview. So I just added a new feature to the app. Worked just fine. The app does not render in the preview... I enable the chat - and I say "I activated the chat so I can test if the app renders while chat is active." Then the app renders just fine. Then after some time live preview breaks again. I don't know what to do... I've tried empty cache and hard reload, another browser...
