Will there be a specific list of things to try or will it be play it and find bugs?



I don't have much experience, how would bug reports be written?

Try the game out, find bugs, and post them as threads here. Post one bug per thread. Before you post, check that the bug isn't present in a thread or in the Mantis Bugtracker first.



Bugs should be posted with reproduction steps. Don't just say something went wrong - isolate it and find the shortest sequence of actions to make it go wrong again. This way, I can reproduce the bug, which is always the first step to fixing it. Obviously there are cases where this isn't necessary ("The grenade icon is wrong"), but for bugs that require actions to create, always post repro steps.



Only post technical bugs. Balance change and feature requests should go on the forum - usually the public forum.



As noted above, please also post savegame files and output logs when appropriate.



Never test with mods active.

Everyone whose email address was actually listed as having bought the game has been added as a tester. Please go over to the public tester forum, read the"read me first" thread (lots of people skip this and it gets embarrassing), and grab the game.The call is still open to additional people.The Read Me First thread better explains exactly how you go about doing this, but no, there usually isn't a specific list. Although sometimes an odd bug may pop-up that is hard to reproduce, and everyone gets asked to help try and find reproduction steps for that bug.Here's a copy/paste of part of the Read Me First thread on the public tester forum regarding how to write and submit bug reports:
