Question for the Issue Tracker

[VR SenseiMatty]

I submitted a bug in the new Issue Tracker system. This one
This issue has been confirmed/reported by other players too (7 additional user contributions), but it's still in the "confirming status". When or what event triggers the "Confirmed" status?

I don't have an answer, but my guess is a developer/tester/QA/QC/bored producer/bored manager; i.e: someone at the office picks it up, attempts to replicate it and updates the states to confirmed.

From the faq's, clear as mud. Boils down to, surprise, another popularity contest.


WHAT IS CONTRIBUTING TO AN ISSUE? Contributing to an issue is your way to tell us that you too are experiencing the same issue as other players. It is also your opportunity to tell us about your particular experience, to provide extra details and help us to reproduce the issue to aid us in diagnosing the cause of the issue.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN AN ISSUE IS “CONFIRMED”? When the number of contributions to an issue reaches a threshold, an issue is then marked as confirmed. The issue can then be voted on, this is how the community can tell us that an issue is an important issue affecting a number of people.

a bit like how Jesus turned water into wine....

magic

but according to the text FAQ its popularity of contributions who say they can replicate it regardless of if it actually exists in game

therefore according to the FAQ text; someone could have a major bug setting their computer on fire, or turning their computer into a psychotic AI serial killer, but if a threshold of people didn't contribute to the same bug report they just happen to browse and take the time to fill in.... well it don' get fixed

maybe the offical FAQ from Frontier (the horses mouth) is wrong in which case i refer you back to "magic"

perhaps we can have a referendum on which bugs to solve, Brexit is going so well after all.

How many contributions are required before the status changes to Confirmed?

Currently the system is set to 10 contributions to confirm an issue but that's subject to change. Our team will still be going through reports regardless of contributions and can set them as confirmed themselves.

A good indicator of how long they can ignore an issue...

They have always been weak at anticipating unintended consequences

Just another example
