Time for Bugfixing!
[h2]Time for bug fixing![/h2]Time flies! We could not be more excited about the upcoming release. Since there are only a few days left, we are giving 100% to solve the remaining issues. This is the part where we need your help! Please report all the bugs you can find in Avorion. It does not matter if you have already reported it some time ago. If it still bothers you, report it again. We will take care of it. We are thankful for every hint that you can send to us!
[h2]When you have found a bug[/h2]Ouch! To report a bug, please use the ingame tool.
For more information you can find an extensive manual here:
https://www.avorion.net/forum/index.php/topic,478.0.html
If possible, we would really appreciate if you could tell us the following things:
What happened?
Please tell us as exactly as possible what happened when the bug/issue appeared.
The most important field for us is "Steps to Reproduce". Please give us the most detailed description that you can.
We understand that sometimes it feels like bugs are obvious. But they can be related to your machine, your drivers, your operating system and so many other things. If we had found the bug while testing, we would have fixed it for sure.
Here is a great example for "Steps to Reproduce" as taken from a bug report: "For the Station dock crash:
- Start a new game, preferably in creative mode
- Have a shipyard generate a Station-Founding ship (any size will do)
- Get in the ship
- Find a suitable sector for a station
- Found the station
- Get back to that sector you founded your station at (because for some reason, if that's your only "ship" in the sector, it kicks you out into your drone and you go back to your home sector, or other vanilla destruction behaviors
- Enter your station
- Go to build mode inside your station
- Place a dock anywhere
- Game crashes."
We know that this takes some time, but with these steps, we managed to fix the bug in minutes. We hope you understand!
Thanks to everybody who is helping us, we are very thankful for having such an amazing community!
Happy playing! Please report as much as you can. We are looking forward to release!
