Requirement When an error prevents a game from performing a task dictated by the player or expected under normal gameplay, the game must display a user-friendly message that addresses the error. The game must transparently handle software errors that are not relevant to gameplay.

Remarks Examples of descriptions that are not user-friendly include technical information, such as error codes, module names, network addresses, and debug traces. For example: • User-friendly: "Your profile is no longer available." • Not user-friendly: "ERROR 0x80001553 - ACCESS NOT AVAILABLE" In situations in which the player must take action as a result of the error, the message must include information or instructions that help the player correct the problem.

I'm unsure of how to test this. We need to test EVERY error.
