    Reporting an issue

    Before submitting an issue

    Please do a search in open issues to see if the issue or feature request has already been filed and read the FAQ page first.
    If you find your issue already exists, make relevant comments and add your reaction.

    If you cannot find an existing issue that describes your bug or feature, submit an issue using the guidelines below.

    Writing good bug reports and feature requests

    File a single issue per problem and feature request.

    • Do not enumerate multiple bugs or feature requests in the same issue.

    • Do include images and/or video if it helps explain your issue better.
    • Do not use any language other then english

    The more information you can provide, the more likely someone will be successful in reproducing the issue and finding a fix.

  • Who is behind Bearsampp?

    Hi, I'm Bear;


    Bearsampp came as a fork of Neard, the developer stopped updating it in 2021 and many of us really liked the program and wanted it to continue, so I forked it and started working on updating it.
    Along the way it was decided to give it a new name and remove code for ancient versions of windows and fix any bugs that we could.

    To help prevent this from ever happening again I created a Github project for it so that anyway can take over when/if I'm gone.
    By supporting me by either donating or contributing you help insure the longevity of this program.
