Bug policy suggestion

[Thibix Magnus]

Hello,

I don't know at all how the modding and debugging process works in practice. But here is a question. Some bugs appear only after a change and can stay around a long time between updates... From just an Eldar perspective, bugged D-cannons and forbidden Cloak of Shadows have been a real handicap, as they are rather important in some army compositions (the advantage being having fun discovering in depth other factions).

Of course the volunteers who keep this game alive are doing a fantastic job in their free time, so updates come when they come and we should all be grateful for that.

So could there be an easy solution for these long staying bugs? Would it be unreasonable to imagine a hotfix as soon as these bugs are identified, that cancels the changes for the time being? Revert a buggy modification to the previous state while a solution is being looked for, calmly, within whatever spare time is available to the volunteers. Or is it too complicated to ask the community to be reactive to these hotfixes? I'm wondering only if it is something really easy to do, there might be some constraints I'm unaware of.

Thanks in any case

Don't worry, we've got some bug fixes coming in 2.5, and that patch should be coming very very soon.

Releasing a hotfix right now would abit pointless, since we would require the community to update *YET AGAIN* in a short span, and having to check for frequent updates is abit of a tedious effort from the community side. If we keep it to a minimm of at least an update a month - it would be fine.
