How to Report a Bug in WARDOGS

For technical bugs, use WARDOGS’ official Steam “Report a Problem” subforum and check the pinned Team17_Assist reporting guidance before posting. First check Known Issues so you do not duplicate a launch or maintenance incident that is already tracked.

Quick answer

Open the official WARDOGS Report a Problem subforum, read the pinned “How to report a problem” thread, then search for an existing topic before starting a new one. This is the route for crashes, login failures, input problems, map issues and other technical bugs.

Before you report

1. Check Known Issues to see whether the problem is already tracked.
2. Check official updates and server status if many players cannot connect at once.
3. Search the Report a Problem forum for an existing thread so related evidence stays together.
4. Post one clear report with the reproduction details below.

What to include in a useful bug report

• Issue title — name the symptom and, where useful, the affected feature.
• What you were doing when it happened.
• What happened and what you expected instead.
• Steps to reproduce, including how often it happens.
• Game build and update state, plus Windows version.
• CPU, GPU and RAM when the issue is a crash, performance or rendering problem.
• Input device and bindings for ADS, keybind, controller or mouse issues.
• Region or server context and the exact error message or code, if any.
• Screenshot or short video when it makes the symptom easier to verify.

Reproduction steps and expected result

Write the smallest repeatable sequence: where you were, what you pressed or changed, what happened, and whether it reproduces every time or only intermittently. Separate the expected result from the actual result; this helps the team compare reports instead of guessing at the cause.

Crash and login problems

For crashes, include when the crash occurs — launch, loading, entering a vehicle, joining a match or during play — and whether the game closes, freezes or shows an error. For login problems, record the exact message and whether other players can connect. Do not turn a server-wide incident into a local troubleshooting report; link the relevant server status or server problems context instead.

Server problems and error codes

If everyone is affected, start with Server Status. If only your connection fails, use Server Problems for safe local checks. Include exact codes and messages, then link to the error-code directory when relevant; do not assume a code has one confirmed cause without official evidence.

ADS, input and gameplay glitches

For ADS, custom keybind, controller, desync, map-loading or vehicle issues, describe the affected control or situation precisely and list your input device, bindings and reproduction rate. A community report shows that a symptom exists; it does not by itself prove a game-wide defect or an official fix.

Technical bug versus player report

A broken game or client behavior belongs in the technical bug route above. A cheater, abusive-player or moderation report is a different task and should use the current in-game or official moderation flow. An incorrect ban is not a bug report; use the official Ban Appeals guidance in Steam instead.

Privacy and security

Never publish a Steam Guard code, password, session token, payment information, private account identifier or unredacted email address. Share logs or crash dumps only when the official pinned guidance asks for them, and remove personal data before posting.

How to follow updates

After reporting, watch the original thread, official Steam updates and Known Issues. We separate official current evidence from historical launch reports and community observations; an unconfirmed workaround is not presented as an official fix.

FAQ

Where do I report a WARDOGS bug?

Use the official WARDOGS Steam Report a Problem subforum and read its pinned reporting guidance.

Should I report a known issue again?

Check Known Issues and search the forum first. Add useful new reproduction details to an existing topic when appropriate rather than creating a duplicate.

Can I use this page to report a cheater or appeal a ban?

No. Player moderation reports and incorrect-ban appeals are separate from technical bug reports; follow the current official route for those tasks.
