How many bug reports did you send last test?

(Using the little bug button in-game) Check them here: alpha.glitch.com/help/cases/

I sent two - one about the link to wherecanigetsalt.com not working on the encyclopedia page ( alpha.glitch.com/items/207/ ), yet okay in game. The other about the Magic Rock not noticing that I had completed the Rooks Egg quest, so I had to teleport out and not get my rewards (though after a reload, I got them).

How about you? :)

  • I'm never sure what's a bug, or what's my computer being slow or my internet going all weird. I didn't really have anything go wrong. Maybe I should play harder next time. =)

  • I sent two as well. One about abbasid ribs showing different energy values (13 and 59) and the other about the scenery in Bishop's Arch, it seemed very different where the signposts were.

  • I have never used the bug icon, and report things in the bugs forum.

    Is one preferred over the other?

    (But I did actually submit a few bug reports this past weekend.)

  • I sent two, both for the game not loading in Chrome, though I did find out after the second one that it was a Chrome specific problem.

  • Never used the bug icon. Was too busy trying to figure out what caused me to constantly lose connection and have to reload the entire zone every ten minutes. Looks like it's an issue with Firefox/pop-up blockers.

  • I reported a bug. It was right after the server malfunctioned for my profile and I was left unable to play for the last day of gaming!

  • I've never used the bug to report, just forums and chat. I don't think I've ever had a bug-free test. My favorite recent one is the invisible slide.

  • just one, I found that I could infinitely jump upwards in the area after you teleported out of the fire fly whistle area.

  • One of the developers told me a while back that clicking the bug icon sends a screen shot along with whatever you type. If that's the case, it can be more helpful, in some cases, than just verbally reporting what you're seeing. If I was in some sleep-deprived hallucination at the time, and there's no screen shot involved, then please disregard this message, and enjoy your day.

    Also, I think I sent one or two bug reports when I wasn't able to move from one street to another. Closing my browser and reloading everything eventually fixed the problem.

  • Put in around 6 this time. Mainly issues with menu's not appearing when you click in game things (like pigs or trees). I don't remember everything I found, but there were still a few.

  • None, as all the bugs I saw were with the gardening interface and there isn't a link to send a bug report directly from there. I had to go to the forum and start up a new string.

  • from the help cases page I see I reported an errant Street Spirit.

    Also reported ongoing problems (firefox and chrome) with locations not loading/ taking aaaaaages to load new streets in the bug forum.

  • Near the end of the test I tried to open my trophy shelf and it malfunctioned and a bug report popped up automatically and asked me what I was doing when it appeared. I thought that was cool .... I personally think it broke because a vacuum was created by it's sheer emptiness but I could be wrong .... the primary problems I had were a horrible lag on the first day which was cured temporarily by a reload and eventually went away all together and a few flash crashes, one very severe when I had a couple of different types of media things going on in the background and the game would simply not reload until I cleaned the cookies and junk off my hard drive with CCleaner. For being in Alpha not too bad at all for such a long test. (FYI I use FF 3.6 on one computer and 4 on the other)

    I suppose the hanging in the air thing when one opens a menu while jumping is technically a bug but I like it it's fun ... oh yeah and I also had a problem a couple of times with my chat messages disappearing but I was too busy playing to care much ...

  • I sent three, and I just noticed that one is a really weird bug. 1:30 from the end of Soil Appreciation II, it switched to Soil Appreciation III without completing II... Now I have 1:30 remaining on Soil Appreciation III that didn't finish when the game closed. I guess I just don't appreciate soil enough. I am kind of a neat freak...

  • I did seven but a couple were just for typos.While technically not a bug, I really exist to squash typos in the world overall. I had a couple of Flash crashes and a couple of goal anomalies as well. And thanks, kev, for rescuing the poor stuck pig for me! That totally made my day :)

  • @ Mistress*of*Fishies, as a professional proofreader, I applaud your efforts!!

    I sent two I think: one regarding Flash crashes (the game actually prompted me to send those). The other was about the magic disappearing cabinet in my house...basically every other time I used it, it disappeared. However, again, the game actually prompted me to send that bug, too.

  • I only had one bug (that I know of...some of the things that happened I wasn't sure if they were bugs or me just being stupid so I sent no report on them :D )
    The one I did send in was for freezing up in the Affairs office when the lizard asked me about Sandy Claws. It wouldn't let me do anything...but when I went to send in the bug report I noticed the request to add the flash plugin/debugger and so I did that. It took me out of the game to install it and when I got back in I was able to get my card with no problems.
    I went ahead and sent in the report anyway, in case they could look at the coding to see what had happened.
