#How to change your name in spyparty drivers
If your bug is a graphics glitch, please make sure your video drivers are up-to-date. A bug that repros in Practice Mode is easier to debug than one where I have to connect over the network, for example. As Einstein said, you want the simplest possible repro, but no simpler. The shorter the recipe for the repro, the better. If you can't repro the bug, you should still report it with as much description as you can, but as I say above, it's way easier to fix bugs with good solid repros. If you crashed, write down what you were doing right before the crash before you forget it, and then relaunch the game and try to get it to crash again. Try to reproduce the buggy behavior on your machine.If you update, try your repro steps again to make sure they still work.

The lobby will update your build if you're out-of-date. The easiest way to do this is to launch the game and hit "Play" on the main menu, which will try to take you to the lobby.
Make sure you have the latest SpyParty build. Unfortunately, where they're saved differs by operating system, so at the bottom of this post is a guide for finding them. SpyParty saves a bunch of useful information for helping me fix bugs, including logs, screenshots, and replays. The basic rule is one thread per distinct bug. I'll be updating these steps as the beta proceeds, and eventually I'll switch this part of the forum over to a real bug database, but for now, threads in this forum will have to do. In other words, it's more important to report the bug poorly than it is to not report it at all, but a good repro makes a huge difference. This does not mean you shouldn't report bugs that don't always happen the same way or happen infrequently, or that you can't get a good repro for, but it does mean those bugs will be much harder for me to fix. It's basically a recipe to make the buggy behavior happen for you (and me!). So, when posting a bug report, the key is to do some work on your end to be methodical and give steps to repro the bug as simply and as clearly as you can. It can be the difference between 10 minutes to fix and 10 days to fix, literally. A bug that doesn't repro is very hard to fix, whereas a bug with a "good repro" is usually pretty trivial to fix. The goal of a bug report is to describe the steps to reproduce the buggy behavior (whether it's a crash that deletes your entire hard disk or it's a word that's not pluralized correctly in the user interface somewhere) well enough that I can step through them on my machine and see the behavior first-hand.
