How do I know if an update made my game worse?

Track your crash rate per version and compare the new build against the previous one. A regression shows up as a higher crash rate or new issues appearing specifically on the latest version. Without per-version tracking, a worsening release is invisible until it's accumulated into a noticeably unstable game; with it, you see the impact immediately and can fix or roll back fast.

How do I compare one game version's stability to another?

Track crash rate per version. When each release's crash rate is recorded, you can hold the new build up against the previous one and see whether it's crashing more or less. A regression stands out as a jump on the new version even when absolute numbers look ordinary, which is exactly the signal that an update hurt stability.

What if my overall crash rate looks fine after an update?

Also watch for issues that are new on the latest build. An update can introduce a specific regression, a new crash, that doesn't move your overall crash rate much but still hurts the players who hit it. Surfacing new issues per version catches these regressions that an aggregate number would hide, so you don't miss a problem a release introduced.

How Do I Know If an Update Made Things Worse?

Quick answer: Track your crash rate per version and compare the new build against the previous one. A regression shows up as a higher crash rate or new issues on the latest version.

Every update can fix some things and break others, and the worrying case is when it makes things worse without you realizing. The way to know is to make each release's impact measurable. Here's how to tell whether an update helped or hurt, fast.

Make Each Update's Impact Measurable

You can't tell if an update made things worse without a baseline to compare against. Tracking crash rate per version gives you that: each release's stability becomes a number you can hold up against the previous one, turning a vague worry into a clear comparison.

Bugnet tracks crash rates by version, so every update's impact is visible. Without per-version tracking, a worsening release is invisible until the damage has accumulated, with it, you can see immediately whether a build improved or degraded stability.

Compare the New Build Against the Old

The signal that an update made things worse is the comparison: is the new version crashing more than the last? Tracking crash rate per version lets a regression stand out as a clear jump on the new build, even when the absolute numbers look ordinary in isolation.

Bugnet makes the new release's crash rate directly comparable to the previous one, so a regression is obvious. That version-over-version comparison is what separates 'this update hurt stability' from normal background noise.

Watch for New Issues on the Latest Version

Beyond crash rate, watch for issues that are new on the latest build, crashes that weren't there before the update. A new issue appearing specifically on the new version is a clear sign that release introduced a regression, even if your overall crash rate hasn't moved much.

Bugnet surfaces new issues a release introduces, flagging crashes specific to the latest version. Knowing if an update made things worse is per-version crash tracking, build-over-build comparison, and watching for new issues, the combination that catches a bad release while it's still fixable.

Track crash rate per version and compare the new build against the old, watching for new issues on the latest version. Without per-version tracking, a worsening release stays invisible until it's done damage.
