How do I find which version introduced a bug?

Track crashes and issues per version and find the build where the bug first appears, that's the introducing version, and its changes contain the cause, per-version tracking makes this visible instead of guesswork. Finding which version introduced a bug means determining when it first appeared, which per-version tracking reveals directly. With crashes and issues tracked per version, you can look at the bug (its crash signature) across versions and find the build where it first shows up, the version where its crashes start appearing (and that's absent on prior builds). That build is where the bug was introduced, the release whose changes caused it. This works because a bug introduced by a release appears in that release's data and not before, so the per-version data pinpoints the introducing build. Once you have it, you've narrowed the cause to that release's changes (the code, assets, or dependencies changed in it), which you examine to find the specific responsible change (reasoning from where the bug manifests, or bisecting through the release's changes). Without per-version tracking, finding the introducing version is guesswork, you'd have to manually test old builds or reason from memory about when the bug might have started, which is slow and unreliable. With per-version tracking, the introducing build is simply visible in the data. For a crash bug, the crash signature's first appearance on a version is the marker, for a behavioral bug, the reports or the issue's onset per version. So you find which version introduced a bug by tracking crashes/issues per version and finding the build where the bug first appears, then examining that release's changes for the cause. Bugnet tracks crashes and issues per version, so you can see exactly which build a bug first appeared on (the introducing version), narrowing the cause to that release's changes, and provides the captured context (stack trace) showing where the bug manifests to help connect it to the specific change, so you can find both when the bug was introduced and what caused it, then fix and verify per version, rather than guessing at which version is responsible.

Why is per-version tracking important?

Because it lets you see when issues appear, tie bugs and crashes to the releases that introduced them, catch regressions, and verify fixes, per-version tracking turns when did this start and what release caused it from guesswork into visible data. Per-version tracking, recording crashes and issues against the build they occur on, is foundational to managing a game's stability over time, for several reasons. Finding introducing versions: it shows you which build a bug first appeared on (the introducing version), so you can narrow the cause to that release's changes, without it, finding when a bug started is guesswork. Catching regressions: it lets you see when a release introduces a new crash or a crash rate spike (the new build's crashes appearing), so you catch regressions fast (within minutes of a release) rather than learning from players days later, this is how you catch bad builds early. Comparing releases: it lets you compare a new build's stability against the previous one (is this release better or worse?), so you can gauge whether a release improved or regressed things, and gate releases on stability. Verifying fixes: it lets you confirm a fix worked (the bug's crashes stopping on the fixed build) and didn't introduce a regression (no new crashes), so you verify rather than assume. Attributing issues: it ties crashes and issues to the builds that caused them, so you understand your stability's evolution and which releases were good or bad. Without per-version tracking, all of these become guesswork, you can't easily tell when issues started, whether a release regressed things, or whether a fix worked. With it, your stability over releases is visible and manageable. So per-version tracking is important because it makes the temporal dimension of your stability, when issues appear, which releases caused them, whether fixes worked, visible, enabling regression-catching, release comparison, fix verification, and root-cause attribution. Bugnet tracks crashes and issues per version, so you get all of this, finding introducing versions, catching regressions fast, comparing releases, and verifying fixes, the per-version visibility that turns managing your game's stability over time from guesswork into data-driven decisions.

How do I tie a bug to a specific release?

Use per-version tracking to see which build the bug's crashes first appear on, that ties the bug to the release that introduced it, and the captured context helps connect it to the specific change in that release. Tying a bug to a specific release means determining which release introduced it, which per-version data shows. With crashes and issues tracked per version, each occurrence of the bug is recorded against the build it happened on, so you can see the bug's distribution across versions, and the build where it first appears (with prior builds free of it) is the release that introduced it, tying the bug to that release. This is direct and reliable: the bug appears in the introducing release's data and not before, so the first-appearance version is the responsible release. For crashes, the crash signature's first appearance on a version ties it to that build, for other issues, the onset of reports or the issue per version does the same. Once tied to a release, you can go further and connect it to the specific change within that release: examine what changed in the release (the code, assets, dependencies), and use the bug's captured context (the stack trace showing where it manifests, the conditions) to identify which change is responsible, the per-version tie gives you the release, and the context plus the release's changelog gives you the specific change. This is far more reliable than trying to tie a bug to a release from memory or by manually testing old builds. So you tie a bug to a specific release by using per-version tracking to find the build where the bug first appears (the introducing release), then using the captured context to connect it to the specific change in that release. Bugnet tracks crashes and issues per version, so each bug is automatically tied to the versions it occurs on, revealing the introducing release (where it first appears), and captures the context (stack trace, conditions) to help connect it to the specific change, so you can tie any bug to the release, and the change, that caused it, enabling targeted fixes and clear understanding of which releases introduced which issues.

What to Do When You Don't Know Which Version Introduced a Bug

Quick answer: Use per-version data to find the build where the bug first appeared (crashes tracked per version show exactly when a bug started), then examine that release's changes to find the cause. Per-version tracking makes the introducing build visible.

Not knowing which version introduced a bug makes it hard to find the cause, you don't know which changes to examine. Per-version tracking shows you exactly when the bug appeared. Here is what to do when you don't know which version introduced a bug.

Use Per-Version Data to Find When It Appeared

The key to finding which version introduced a bug is per-version data: track crashes and issues per version, and you can see the build where the bug first appears, the version where its crashes start showing up. This pinpoints when the bug was introduced, without guessing.

Bugnet tracks crashes and issues per version, so you can see exactly which build a bug first appears on, the version where its signature starts. That pinpoints when the bug was introduced, turning don't know which version into the bug started on this build, the foundation for finding the cause in that release's changes.

Narrow the Cause to That Release's Changes

With the introducing version identified, narrow the cause: examine what changed in that release, the code, assets, or dependencies, since the bug came from one of those changes. The captured stack trace (where the bug manifests) helps you connect it to the specific change responsible.

Bugnet's captured context (stack trace, conditions) for the bug shows where it manifests, helping you connect it to what changed in the introducing release. Knowing the introducing version (from per-version tracking) and where the bug manifests (from the stack trace) narrows the cause to a specific change in that release, the path from when to what.

Fix the Responsible Change and Verify

Fix the change responsible for the bug, then verify per version that the bug is resolved, its crashes stopping on the fixed build, and that you didn't reintroduce it or cause a new issue. Per-version verification confirms you fixed the right thing.

Bugnet tracks per version, so after fixing you can confirm the bug stopped on the new build and watch for any new issue. This verifies you fixed the responsible change correctly, the bug gone from the version where you fixed it, no new problem, closing the loop on a bug whose introducing version you found via per-version tracking.

When you don't know which version introduced a bug, use per-version data to find the build where it first appeared, then examine that release's changes to find the cause, fix it, and verify per version. Per-version tracking makes the introducing build visible instead of guesswork.
