How to talk to devs

[CBRattler13]

I need to talk to the devs, I am sick and tired of the amount of bugs in this game. How would I do that?

[Brainslime1]

go to the actual war thunder forums, thats how

[smartest indiana resident]

just make a .zip containing all the files containing the bug, then send it with necessary info

[smartest indiana resident]

quite simple

but the question is do the devs want to talk to you, act like the usual entitled jack a**es on this forum and you wont get anywhere. Devs dont have time for every whiner who thinks their particular gripe is the number one priority and devs are somehow obligated to drop everything and listen. If you have a problem bug report it like everyone else, the devs responsible for fixing bugs have far better things to be doing (ie fixing bugs) than wasting their time talking to every small-name-big-ego

EDIT: i remember working support for a company that shall go unnamed and our policy for handling issues was stated quite clearly on our website that we would not acknowledge or provide further information on any reported issues until we could provide a solution so as not to publicise any vulnerabilities which may or may not exist and yet still everyone thought their issue was so important that policy couldnt possibly apply to them and they must speak to us right now. They were good for a laugh if nothing else

I've yet to see any bugs in this game,.... neither the crawling kind nor the flying kind. You must have some keen sense of sight??? Can you take some freeze frames and show the forum just what you see out there on the battlefield?

I've tried, but I play this game on steam and I can't post on the forum due to the battle requirement. I did make a respectful and calm discussion about a week ago. It talked about the 3 biggest issues with ground RB such as volumetric. This post was more of a out burst. I've just been screwed by every bug today in all of the matches I have played. I'm just frustrated at the fact that nothing has been done to fix these issues.

Actually played plenty... are the bugs found in foliage?... and what about water bugs? Are they airborne pests for the most part or strictly found on the ground.

I've posted a new discussion that's much more through about the issues with the game.

Karen, you and half the people who play the game think they have all the magic fixes for the game.

They're constantly updating and changing the game. 'Talking to a developer' isn't going to accomplish anything. You aren't going to reveal some secret they haven't thought of.

Says the Egotistical pathetic self-plug guy
first:
aside from theoretical nonsense that everyone knows, people pay actual money to enjoy their spare time after they came back from work.
second: its actually not whining or BS, there is many bugs that hasn't been fixed for years, so i really don't know what devs actually doing besides preparing more prem stuff and make the game worse with each update.

do i know you? if we have interacted before i have no memory of it and thats a pretty extreme reaction to label me like that on first posting

I stand by what i said, you go to any developer acting like you are posting here and no matter how politely/professionally the community managers might be required to treat you the only result is an amusing anecdote for them to all laugh at in the breakroom

Disregarding everything else everyone else said to make sure you understand this, if you are complaining about bug, complain about bugs. The devs are not going to care much when you complain about issues of the game and sprinkle in some bugs to support your claim, they will especially turn a blind eye on steam discussions about this.

Complain about volumetric? I really don't mean to be rude, but ♥♥♥♥ off. Complain about realistic battles? ♥♥♥♥ off.
None of those are bugs in themselves, bugs can stem your complaints about this, but they themselves are not bugs.

When you report about bugs, REPORT ABOUT THE BUG, like say a tank model becoming invisible after doing [insert action], ground turning blue and purple cuz broken texture, big building which allows shell to pass through even though they shouldn't, crew lock forever until the game is restarted, vehicles becoming completely black at mid-long ranged, etc.
Those a genuine bugs, ones where you can take its file and throw it around to wherever.


When you talk about something like "The three biggest issues of this game" you're not complaining about a bug, you just fall into the category of people just complaining about the game whether you are respectful or not.

If you want to report a bug, do not mix it your "issue on the game etc", just report the bug.
If you want to state you issues on the game, don't mix that topic with anything else unless necessary for the statement



if you don't go to the war thunder forums and report a bug, don't go stating things like Realistic battles has issue, volumetric is crap, etc when reporting bugs. Make it in a separate forum, one about issues of the game, the other about the bugs.

Complain about the game brings arguments, Ground RB with planes? you got people arguing back in fourth whether planes should be removed or stay.
Complain about a bug where the new fires on planes make the game crash, no one argues really.
Its easy to figuring which is more focusing about bugs and which is just ranting on the game.
