The Bug Report Function, Tutorial inside (DO NOT REPORT BUGS HERE! thanks)
posté November 05, 2008, 17:35:32 | #1
The Bug Report Function People have been saying they don't know how to use the bug report function. Here is a step by step guide. One area where the international community can be particularly helpful is reporting missing translations, so let's get to it!

Press the button with a beetle on it in the upper right hand corner of the game window.

A popup menu will appear. In translation, it reads “do you want to now generate an archive containing information about the state of the game which will be useful for your bug report?”

Click “yes”. Another menu will appear. In translation, it reads “An archive named '######_######.zip' has been generated in the folder: C:\Program Files\Wakfu\report\ ######_######.zip. It contains the information that we will use to solve the problem. Thank you for attaching it to your bug ticket that you will post at the following location: http://support.ankama.com/fr Do you want to be taken to support?” The pound signs represent date and time.

Clicking yes should open a browser window at support, but maybe not. In any case, you can go to http://support.ankama.com/fr and log in. Click the tab for Wakfu (note that this will give a 404 error if you do it from the English page.)

Click on “Je voudrais rapporter un bug en jeu” (meaning “I would like to report a bug in game.”)

The top part of the next page describes the archive you just made in game. In boldface text, it reads “What type of bug would you like to report?” The categories are:

>>>> A bug of: display / decoration / sound / environment
>>>> A bug of: monster / spell / AI / combat
>>>> A bug of: interface / text / translation
>>>> A bug of: object / equipment / set
>>>> A bug of: quest / scenario / tutorial

Choose the appropriate category.

On the next page, it reads “To report a bug, make sure you know how to describe a procedure for reproducing the bug or are able to precisely explain the circumstances where the bug appears. If you have used the 'Report a bug or problem' button in game, a file named 'date_time.zip' has been created in the file where you have installed the game, in the 'report' folder. This file contains a variety of information that will help us identify your problem easily, and you should attach it to your message.”

Click the button that says “Envoyer un message”, which means “send a ticket”.

Under section 1, it asks for your account name, character name, and level.

Under section 2, it asks for information about the problem. Choose a problem type from the dropdown menu, choose date and time, and input the game client.

Under section 3, it asks for “Supplemental Information.” Translation of the red text reads: “Thank you for writing a clear and concise message. Explain the circumstances in which the bug appears so we can reproduce it.” During the closed beta, they told us it was okay to send messages in English (as long as it's clear English! Txt talk is not English.) The two boxes translate as: “What happened?” (top) and “What should happen?” (bottom).

Section 4 is where you attach the .zip file you made. Choose Browse and click the file.

Choose “Envoyer” to send.

Thanks for making this for the people. I don't personally need it, but I'm sure that some people wish to submit tickets that couldn't before because of the french.

You = Yay!

Ohhh, I though the file it mentioned were sent when you click in ok, so I didn't understand how it works...

That topic is very helpful (:

Thanks for making this [2]

Glory, please refrain from off topic posts. You are currently receiving help from Wakfu's newbie question thread.

Aside from that, great tutorial Yrona. This shall certainly help a lot of people feel useful (and potentially make a difference.) I know that I haven't been able to utilize the "report a bug" feature fully but now I may rethink my abandonment of the idea. Thanks for taking the initiative to do this!

Hello. If someone does something bad in a thread (like a very off-topic shouting post), please hit the report button on the bottom left under their post. It will drop a message in my box that I need to come fix it. I really appreciate getting reports; it makes my job much easier!

They do. They even answer in English.

I feel as if this should also be posted on the Technical Issues forum. Anyone else agree?

Just to be clear: clicking yes repeatedly to the in game bug report function simply saves a game log to my computer and does not constiture an actual bug report?

If that is the case then does that make my previous attempts to post reports futile gestures if I can no longer tell what each of them was about?

They are dated:

Also, I don't know about Windows, but the Mac bug report contains a screen shot.

I'm leaving this post open in case discussion is needed (as it clearly is). However, this thread is not for posting bugs; instead, they must be sent in via the bug report function (conveniently described in the first post). Neither is it for flaming.

Help, please?

I don't understand how to fill in the game client part, and I have a really bad bug that NEEDS fixing.
