=== Notes ===
 
Luanti is never finished, it is constantly a work in progress. Thus all bug reports trivial, or not, help us making the engine better for everyone.
 
 
 
=== Check for similar reports ===
 
A bug might already be reported or even fixed by the time you are having problems. Please check the following sources for solution prior reporting:
 
 
 
* [https://www.minetest.net/downloads/ Newest Luanti version] - are you using the most recent one?
 
* [https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues?q=is%3Aissue GitHub issue tracker]
 
* [https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/irc.libera.chat:+6697/#minetest Libera IRC (English)] (answers might take a while)
 
* [https://forum.minetest.net/viewforum.php?f=6 Luanti Forums: 'Problems']
 
 
 
=== Gathering information ===
 
If you cannot find any similar reported bug, please collect as much relevant information to the developers. More information usually means faster issue tracking. Usually it helps us a lot to provide following information.
 
 
 
* Luanti version (ex. "0.4.17.1", "5.1.1", "5.1.0-dev-numbers")
 
** This is displayed in the window title bar.
 
** For advanced users: provide the output of <code>minetest --version</code>
 
* Operating system and version (ex. "Ubuntu 18.04", "Windows 10", "Android 9")
 
** Please be as precise as possible.
 
 
 
Following information can be found in the system settings / system information or in the task manager:
 
 
 
* CPU type (ex. "Ryzen 7 3700X", "Core2 Duo E8600")
 
* Amount of installed RAM
 
** You might also want to monitor the RAM usage while reproducing the bug.
 
* Graphics card (ex. "Intel HD Graphics 4000", "GTX 2080 Ti Super")
 
** If you can join a game, please provide the OpenGL version (see title bar).
 
** For advanced users: driver version and date.
 
 
 
'''Most important:''' Luanti generates a <code>debug.txt</code> file which is located near to the <code>bin</code> folder, or <code>~/.minetest/</code> for system-wide installations. Copy the last 50 lines or so of the debug file.
 
 
 
If you are tech-savvy, you might also want to look for similar issues in [[Troubleshooting]] and try to find out the cause of the issue by clearing all settings, tweaking settings or disabling mods.
