How to report a bug!
In order to solve technical problems in Arma 3, a so-called RPT file is required in most cases. Without RPT, we cannot solve any local errors that could occur with the Bundeswehr mod.
The RPT file is a log file that is created every time the game is started. Only the RPTs from the last 10 sessions are saved. Errors that occur during the program runtime are recorded in it. However, not every entry has to be an error, but it can also be a simple debug message (even if it is not an error).

Where to find it?

The RPTs are located in a special path in the user profile folder. (Missions downloaded from servers are also stored there.

%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Arma 3
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Arma 3

Hidden files and folders may need to be displayed to view the AppData folder:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/14201/windows-show-hidden-files

Example:
arma3_2015-08-31_12-55-43. rpt
The game was launched on August 31,2015 at 12:55 pm.

It is important that the game was started without the -noLogs parameter. Otherwise, no recording is made in the RPT and it is useless!

The RPT is a text file and can be opened with any text editor (e. g. Windows Editor).
If you don't want to upload the whole file, you can only copy the content and save it by a text hosting service like pastebin. com. We only need the link to this file.

I can't sign in with my GitHub account. It throws this error:
Signing in using your GitHub account without a pre-existing GitLab account is not allowed. Create a GitLab account first, and then connect it to your GitHub account.

I can sign in on GitLab with my GitHub account though, so I'm pretty sure it's something on your end.
