WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW WHEN YOU REPORT A BUG

by Hazed

When you are reporting a bug or a problem with the game, the more information you can give, the easier it is for Alan to figure out what’s going on.

We obviously need the name of the character that has experienced the problem. If you are a PO we need your system name, and if the bug is to do with a specific planet then the planet name.

If you own a business or company then we need the name of the company, and if the problem involves the running of the company then we need to know what planets your factories are on.

We also need a log that shows the bug in action, or screen grabs that show the state of your planet treasury or your company before and after. It’s no good just saying “My treasury lost 14 meg” – we need to see the full details.

It’s good practice to log your game sessions just in case you do come across a problem. If you’re using the FedTerm front end, you can turn on logging by using the options in the file menu.

And don’t forget that when you send emails to feedback@ibgames.com you should put “Fed2” somewhere in the subject line to avoid our spam filters.
