Bugs from Campaign, Missions and World categories.

[Hanzu]

The purpose of this thread is:
1) more bug testers to report the bug has been fixed or is not yet fixed
2) more bug reporters to report new or old non-reported bugs
3) more publicity to bugs to get CIT votes and developers actions
4) suggestions about information when reporting bugs of above mentioned 3 categories
5) discuss and gather information if something is a bug or not
6) provide information so players can workaround bugs (if possible)
7) give credit to the developers for ever fixing any of the bugs

How to report Mission category bugs
Issues title should start with mission name. CIT report should include information if bug exists in SP or MP-cooperative or in both.

How to report Campaign category bugs
Issues titles should start with short version of campaign name:
[HR] = Harvest Red
[OA] = Operation Arrowhead
[EW] = Eagle Wing
[BAF] = British Armed Forces
[PMC] = Private Military Company
...and be followed with mission name
This is one of the hardest categories to reproduce because it usually requires a lot of playing and in cooperative-only issues it requires another human player and internet or LAN too. Also savegames are not so useful for repro since they soon become incompatible with next patch, but attach them if you have them.

How to report World category bugs
Issue titles should start with map name and GPS COORDS. This helps to keep issues sorted out in alphanumeric order and it also makes issues to be sorted in west-east order when looking at the map. Filling out Hardware and software specs are not important for World category since usually those issues has nothing to do with them. I have personally renamed all World category titles to include map name and GPS COORDS and provided screenshots for all that had none. Only future will tell if fixed versions of Chernarus, Zargabad or Takistan maps will ever be released. So do not expect too much when reporting issues of this category. When you play official missions remember World category bugs have also sightseeing value since they are supernatural or funny mostly.

Excellent post, Hanzu! BIS is getting close to releasing OA patch 1.60, so it would be a good idea to test the most recent beta to uncover new and unfixed bugs before it is released. Suma, Dwarden, and others are fixing bugs right and left now in prep for the release, concentrating of course on bugs introduced in the 1.60 beta patches.

Thank you for the helpful post!!!!!!

Thank you OMAC. Looks like we are one of the few in community how care about this big time and I suppose BIS is mainly fixing bugs related to things (engine and AI fixes) they can use in ArmA 3. Anyway it still is nice to have as many bugs reported as possible to help players workaround them.

All World category bugs are now tested by me with 1.60 BETA, but it a shame BIS is not AFAIK planning to release fixed version of Chernarus (which would eliminate tens of World bugs immediately). If nothing else maybe one day we can have fixed Arma2 maps as custom maps for Arma3.

I wish I would have time and fellow player to test all bugs in Campaign and Mission categories with latest beta.

Remember you can now also edit CIT report titles and descriptions of any issue. Suma once said he has hard time reading CIT reports including lots of chit chat and less facts. Basically good issue reproduction instuctions are the most important thing. So I need to clean up my own writings in CIT too.

Maybe the community can release an improved Chernarus at some point.
For such the reports would be very helpful too.

Yes good point PvPscene! I renamed all World category titles to include GPS COORDS and because of that issues will be sorted out by subject from west to east order. So it would require minimum mouse movement and map scrolling to who ever would do the fixing.

I still have at least 3 new World category bugs I need to report. Not really new but never CIT reported ones anyway.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Chernarus map used in Take On Helicopters too? Which IMO would have given more reasons to provide fixed Chernarus.

Chernarus is a complex piece of art and that is why it has almost 30 issues alone, when Zargabad has 3, Takistan 2, Utes 1 and other maps 0 (reported ones).

No idea about Take On Helicopters, but I doubt Chernarus is used for it. Too complex terrain.

Yes, Fireball told me about that new capability, and I edited the hell out of my report on the PMC heli cargo issue. I should probably edit my Freedom Fighters ticket sometime, too. PvPscene just changed the effected A2 version to 1.10 - thanks, kju!
