Stop the Press! Bug report

Use this form to report a specific technical problem or something that did not work as expected. For general opinions about the game, balancing or features you would like added, please use the separate playtest feedback form or the Discord. Please submit one report per bug. The more detail you provide, the easier it will be to investigate.

Briefly describe the problem

You can see this in the top-right corner of your main menu

Upload diagnostics & screenshots

It will really help me understand the problem if you can share the game's diagnostic report.
You can create a diagnostic .zip file through the game by pressing the Bug Report button in the pause or main menu. This will create a .zip file in a BugReports folder where your saves are. By default in Windows this is C:\Users\{yourName}\AppData\LocalLow\Nebuchadnezzar Games\Stop the Press!). Ideally press this button just after the bug occurs as it captures information on the current game.
This contains no personally identifying information, but will include your save game, player log, game-state, and information on the game build you’re playing on. You can also upload those directly if you prefer.
Upload that here, along with any screenshots of the bug to help me identify the issue. Do not upload anything you don’t want shared with the developer.

Discord contact

Completely optional. If you think it would be helpful for me to get in touch to discuss the bug, let me know how to get in touch with you here.
