Bug/Suggestions report dropdowns too inflexible/need more options

Post by LesserJester »

It is currently really hard to report certain errors relating to game launch/general errors that do not fall into the limited categories in the bug report lists. Please give an option for "other error" in both the website and game table lists.

Eg I have tried to report an error with an Arena game launching with settings contrary to my excluded preferences which allowed the other player to cheat and expel me instead of taking their turns. This isn't an error with the game or its rules implementation, but it does relate to a specific game table and not just a general website suggestion. I made a report, but I've no idea if it's gone into the right place.

The game dev only controls what happens when the game is started. Everything before is handled by BGA main site, so if the lobby has a bug, youneed to report it on main site and not on game side, as the game dev can't do anything for it ;)

Who takes care of the main page of each game (e. g. gameinfo, categories)? I thought this is also in hand of the developer?

Language is a source of misunderstanding. (Antoine de Saint-Exupery: The Little Prince) But it is also the source of understanding - it all depends on how you use it. :-)

Yes it's also the dev for it. But it shouldn't provoke bug, so bugs outside the game is almost 100% main site.
