All bug reports are to be reported in their relevant patch thread

Bug Posting Guidelines

1. Save the replay when you find a bug

A lot of bugs get closed by the dev team without being fixed because of the lack of a replay. We (the dev team) appreciate it when you take the time to log a bug, and we hate to have to close your bug and mark it as 'wont fix' because you didn't upload a replay with it in action. Sometimes the replay is not necessary but a lot of times it is. Attaching replays to the bugs you post makes it easier for all of us to nuke the bug.

2. Be specific

Simply saying X thing 'doesn't work' is a good way to make sure your bug doesn't get fixed. Be specific and make detailed reports explaining in what way that thing doesn't work.
Example:
"AP rounds on the 57mm doesn't work" is not a good bug report. Does the ability get activated but without any effect? Or does clicking the button do nothing? Is the button even there? etc etc etc. This information is crucial for us to be able to identify the problem and nuke it.


3. No "I think" reports

If you are going to report a bug make sure the bug actually exists. Saying "I think this is a bug, but I'm not too sure", maybe it was a balance change released in the last patch" is a good way to get your bug ignored.

4. No balance discussions

Title speaks for itself. Balance discussions just create extra clutter and make it harder for us to identify what the problem really is.


When reporting a bug in the relevant patch thread be sure to lay it out in this order:

[Faction] [Patch Number]

Bug report to be entered underneath

Strict forum guidelines will be put to use to keep track of all necessary bugs and to get the mod up to its best possible standard. If you are unsure of a bug create a seperate thread asking the question about your query. The ''Subject'' of the thread should begin with [Query] Followed by your title. For example: [Query] Volksgrenadiers. Followed by the question you are going to ask about.

Like Jesus, Keeps died for us

He made a funny thread for bear, and got banned.

Now bear makes his own funny thread. It's unsurprisingly not funny.

Keeps died for our funny threads.
