The EmuTOS team have been great with me as they've spotted things on here and fixed them, and I'm extremely grateful for that.stephen_usher wrote: ↑Thu Mar 25, 2021 12:49 pm I know what you mean about the assumed level of knowledge, I hit this all the time. Sometimes it seems that if you're not the developer themselves then you have little chance of knowing how to frame answers or questions to them.
Bug reporting is a whole different can of worms. Having seen this from both sides I can understand to a degree the position that the developers have but most expect massively too high a requirement. I've had devs want me to recompile code with debug switched on and tweak the source for things where there's no way I would be able to have a development environment. The response was "Works for me: Closed: WONTFIX" which is far too common in my experience.
I have this thing now with the internet where I spend time trying to figure out the right question based on the results I get back.
