Yeah, it is fairly regular. These form of bugs generally are available by way of playthroughs throughout a characteristic evaluation (normally producers, typically designers/engineers/artwork/QA, typically bigwigs), and infrequently have solely the feedback made through the evaluation for context. It normally requires some evaluation after the actual fact, optimally with video footage of the playthrough to assist present some context to the problem. These form of points typically should undergo manufacturing and get reviewed by the subject material consultants to interpret what is definitely being requested. As soon as that is found out, they get assigned. The unhealthy factor is that these bugs are sometimes tough to breed persistently by QA (or they’d have been written up by QA already), however the habits occurs typically sufficient that the bug continues to be a must-fix.
In that form of scenario, a hard-to-reproduce bug is commonly tasked to an engineer with a strong understanding of the programs who can observe the unhealthy habits by means of the code, script, and property to determine what’s inflicting it. These engineers aren’t essentially accountable for fixing the bug, however they’re the specialists who determine the trigger of the unhealthy habits (e.g. animation X acquired checked in with a foul export) in order that somebody on the crew can repair it (e.g. animator re-exports animation X).
