Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

What is BetaHub?

BetaHub is a comprehensive platform designed for game developers to facilitate beta testing and compile user feedback efficiently. It offers developers the tools to set up projects, invite testers, and streamline the feedback management process. For testers, it provides a collaborative environment to report bugs, suggest features, and engage with fellow participants.

How much does it cost?

BetaHub can be used for free as the free plan has been designed to accommodate the needs of most indie developers. However, we offer Standard and Pro plans with additional features for developers with more extensive requirements. You can find more information about our pricing plans on our pricing page.

Where can I ask for help?

Our team is readily available for support and inquiries. Join us on our Discord server.

I want to integrate BetaHub with X platform. Is it possible?

Technical Questions

How can I integrate BetaHub with my game?

Integration with BetaHub can be achieved through our Unity Plugin and Unreal Plugin. These plugins allow you to collect bugs directly from a running game, providing a bug report form that can appear on specific events or user interactions.

How can I integrate BetaHub with my Discord server?

To link BetaHub with your Discord server and leverage our bot capabilities, please follow our detailed Discord bot integration guide.

When I try executing /set or /info commands in Discord, the bot responds with “You don’t have permission to do that.” What should I do?

For the security of your Discord server, only server owner or members with the Manage Channels permission can execute the /set and /info commands. If you still encounter issues, please ensure that your Discord user has been assigned the correct permissions.

How can I report a bug or request a feature?

We encourage our community to actively report any bugs or suggestions to improve BetaHub. You can do this through our Discord server in the #feedback channel, or by logging into BetaHub and submitting a new bug report or suggestion directly on the platform.

Account & Project Management

I can’t find a developer from another organization in my project invite list. What should I do?

You can only see organizations that you belong to. If you don’t see the organization you’re looking for, ask the organization owner to add you to it. Only then will you be able to invite developers from that organization to your project.

I closed the browser before copying my API token. What should I do?

Unfortunately, tokens can only be viewed once during creation. You’ll need to:

  1. Delete the token you just created
  2. Create a new token
  3. Copy it immediately this time

Can I regenerate or reset an existing token?

No, tokens cannot be regenerated or reset. You can only delete the existing token and create a new one.

How many tokens can I create?

There’s no strict limit, but we recommend creating only the tokens you actually need for better security management.

Will changing my password affect my tokens?

No, personal access tokens work independently of your password and remain valid even if you change your password.

Integration & Setup

My Unity plugin isn’t recording videos. What’s wrong?

Make sure you’ve installed FFmpeg through Tools → BetaHub → Install FFmpeg in the Unity editor. The plugin requires FFmpeg for video recording functionality.

The Discord bot isn’t responding to commands. What should I check?

  1. Verify the bot has Send Messages and View Channels permissions
  2. Ensure your Discord user has Manage Channels permission or is the server owner
  3. Check if Discord slash commands are enabled in your server
  4. Use /info to verify the bot’s current permissions

How do I set up field mapping for external integrations?

  1. Go to Settings → Integrations in your project
  2. Select your desired integration platform
  3. Follow the connection wizard to authenticate
  4. Configure field mappings using the four available modes:
    • Not Mapped - Skip the field
    • Constant Value - Use a fixed value
    • Map From Field - Direct field mapping
    • Dynamic Expression - Template-based mapping

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Game Engine Integration Problems

Unity Plugin Issues:

  • Plugin not loading - Ensure Unity 2021.1 or later, check Package Manager installation
  • FFmpeg errors - Run Tools → BetaHub → Install FFmpeg and restart Unity
  • Form not opening - Verify Project ID is correctly entered in the prefab inspector

Unreal Plugin Issues:

  • Plugin not compiling - Check that the plugin files are in YourProject/Plugins/BetaHubBugReporter/
  • Settings not accessible - Verify the plugin is enabled in Edit → Plugins
  • Blueprint errors - Ensure the plugin compiled successfully after installation

Discord Bot Problems

Permission Issues:

  • Use /info command to check current bot permissions
  • Verify bot role hierarchy in Discord server settings
  • Ensure required permissions are granted for enabled features

Setup Problems:

  • Follow the three-step setup process in BetaHub project settings
  • Verify Discord server ownership or Manage Channels permission
  • Check that the bot is properly invited to your server

Functionality Issues:

  • Listen Mode not working - Ensure channels are properly configured and bot has view permissions
  • Threads not creating - Check thread-related permissions in bot role
  • Notifications not sending - Verify notification channel settings and bot permissions

API and Integration Errors

Authentication Failures:

  • Verify API token is correct and hasn’t expired
  • Check Authorization header format: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN
  • Ensure Accept: application/json header is included

External Integration Problems:

  • Verify credentials are current in external systems
  • Check field mapping configuration for required fields
  • Test with minimal field mappings first

Rate Limiting:

  • Implement exponential backoff in your integrations
  • Monitor rate limit headers in API responses
  • Contact support if you need higher rate limits

Performance Issues

Slow Bug Report Uploads

Large Media Files:

  • Compress images before uploading (use JPG for screenshots)
  • Keep video files under reasonable sizes to avoid timeouts
  • Upload files individually rather than in large batches

Network Connectivity:

  • Check internet connection stability
  • Verify no corporate firewalls are blocking BetaHub domains
  • Try uploading from a different network if issues persist

Discord Bot Lag

High Server Activity:

  • Enable Slow Mode on bug reporting channels
  • Use thread mode to organize discussions
  • Configure ignored users to reduce processing load
