Locked Bug Reports

[Milo 942]

Requested Information:

Before submitting a bug report, it is requested that three key pieces of information be documented:

1. A detailed description regarding the problem.
   1. Where did it happen (i.e. Kavala Market).
   2. When did it happen (i.e. Today, 12:30PM EST).
   3. What was the expected behavior (i.e. I was supposed to recieve a DP mission).
   4. What happened instead (i.e. It failed to give me vehicle cargo).
2. Video or screenshot showing the problem occuring.
   1. Although a clip may not always be possible, even a screenshot can be helpful as visual documented evidence.
   2. Enabling script errors is a great way to make a screenshot useful even in the event a full video is missing.
3. Your most recent RPT file.
   1. When debugging erorrs, RPT (Text-Format Report Files) help development find where bugs may have originated from.

Enabling Script Errors:

By choosing to enable script errors, you will recieve visual feedback in game when things go wrong. This information is extremely helpful as it can be screenshotted or recorded to show exactly when a bug occured and what happened. To enable Script Errors follow these simple steps:

1. Open your Arma 3 Launcher.
2. Find and click "Parameters" on the left hand side.
3. Scroll all the way to the bottom and check "Show Script Errors".

Obtaining an RPT File:

RPT (Text-Format Report Files) help development find errors, when they occured in the mission, and where they originated from. Finding an RPT file is very easy. In a few simple steps this is how you can gather your RPT file:

1. Navigate to your computers "File Explorer".
2. Go to the file path: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Arma 3
3. Sort by "Date modified".
4. Upload the file to a sharing service and link it to the bug report.
   1. Dropbox and Google Drive are good services.
