Why does it take game developers so long to fix very obvious bugs/issues?

422 views

Not trying to criticize anyone, just curious about the process.

When I report a bug that the developer acknowledges, why does it take so long to fix it? For example, 2 months ago I report a bug where the characters weapon disappears in this very specific area. 2 months later, after several updates, the bug is still there and the response I get is, “we are still trying to find a fix for this”.

Measure a bug on two scales: [Severity (how bad the bug is) and Priority](https://i.stack.imgur.com/21aRl.png).

Taking from your bug description – Severity is low, because as I understand it’s a visual issue?
Now how many people it would affect – also low, because it happen in very specific area.
It’s a lowlow bug that go into backlog to be fixed “when we will have time”.
