How To Report a Bug

[justbiglee]

Thank you for participating in our Early Access program for DiRT Rally and helping to shape the development of the game, your ideas and feedback are really important to the success of the game.

As we’re sure most of you are aware DiRT Rally is an Early Access title and constantly in development, so from time to time we’re going to hit a few bumps and encounter bugs.

As we continue through our early access period we’ll keep a public list of known issues and give you regular updates on our progress with each of them.

The first part of that process is where you come in and the more information you can provide us about these bugs and your system the quicker we can get to the bottom of the issue.

To report a bug we’re asking that you copy and paste the below form into a new thread and post it in the bug reporting section of the forums so please be sure to give it a clear and descriptive title.
