Hi Guys

today the AHQ team announced that Answers HQ is moving to EA Forums, This is currently planned for February 2025. Currently there aren't any changes for the bug forum here so please just continue to report your issues here as before.

There is one difference though: I am dropping the [OPEN] tag as per today. I wont' be removing any but I also won't be adding any new ones.

EA Forums currently has it's own bug forum where I've been testing it's functionality the past few weeks. It has it's own tagging system which is much clearer then the one here. The tags here all stem from a time when there was no QA presence at AHQ and was a way of showing popular threads. Much has changed over the years and I feel I'm at a point where I no longer want to do the extra work on something I'm having constant discussions about so I'm dropping OPEN. All other current tags will stay as they show the actual QA status of the thread (except workaround but that's to highlight something). 

I will continue to work as I have before except for this change. Please refer to this thread for current info on the bug forum: [INFORMATION] How does this forum work ?

@crinrict The submit button doesn't work....

[crinrict]

@cara2323 You need to fill out something in the comment field or it won't appear. If it still doesn't add some spaces.

Also make sure you set the language to english

Going to take a break from adding new bug reports.

There will be an EP Patch soon which is usually huge so I will refrain from adding more to the list (List Update to follow later today)

Will still merge or troubleshoot if applicable but please be patient. Will need to recharge a bit before the Patch/EP hits so I won't be around as much over the weekend.

You're of course welcome to continue reporting but I encourage everyone to re-test after the patch has hit.

Also backup your saves :D

What does need input and CD mean for a tag on my post? ☺️

[crinrict]

@Nicoliia CD = Cats & Dogs and Needs Input just means that its a bug that currently has low me too count and to encourage others to post and me too if they see the same issue. I was def able to duplicate your issue.
