How to Report Bugs in Games
Found something weird in a game? Reporting bugs helps make games better for everyone!
What Is a Bug?
A bug is when something in a game doesn't work right. Examples:
- Falling through the floor
- Buttons that don't work
- Items that disappear
- Text that's wrong
Why Report Bugs?
- Developers can't fix what they don't know about
- You help everyone who plays the game
- Games get better because of reports
- Developers appreciate helpful players!
How to Report
Check the Game's Page Many games have links to report bugs, often through Discord or a website.
Be Specific Good bug reports include:
- What happened
- What you were doing when it happened
- Where in the game it happened
- If you can make it happen again
What NOT to Report
- Features working as intended (even if you don't like them)
- Other players being mean (use the report player feature instead)
- Wanting the game to be different
Being Helpful, Not Demanding
Remember, developers are people too! Be polite when reporting bugs.
The Satisfaction of Helping
When a bug you reported gets fixed, you helped make the game better for thousands of players!
