BUG REPORTS
This is an alpha release. That means several things. First, it means
that you're an alpha tester. Be proud. Second, it means that the
game is likely to crash with great frequency. Upon finding a problem,
we'd like you to report it in our forum, but before you do, please do
the following:
- Try to isolate what causes it: "Crashes with a null dereference
about half the time when firing and taunting with a Pkunk" is better
than "Melee doesn't work." If the game crashes, notice what error
is produced; if the game hangs, check to see if the game-exit key
(the backquote `) works.
- Check the TODO file in the top directory to make sure that we don't
already know about it.
- Go to the Ur-Quan Masters forums at http://sc2.sf.net/ and post a
description of the crash in the Technical Issues and Bugs forum.
Check the posts on that forum first, to see if it's already been
reported. If it's been reported, and you have more information, feel
free to confirm that you've reproduced it. If ten people have already
confirmed it, though, it's probably best to treat it as duly reported.
