# Reporting bugs
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 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:
|
|
|
|
* [Newest Luanti version](https://www.minetest.net/downloads/) - are you using the most recent one?
|
|
* [GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues?q=is%3Aissue)
|
|
* [Libera IRC (English)](https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/irc.libera.chat:+6697/#minetest) (answers might take a while)
|
|
* [Luanti Forums: 'Problems'](https://forum.minetest.net/viewforum.php?f=6)
|
|
|
|
### 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 `minetest --version`
|
|
* 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 `debug.txt` file which is located near to the `bin` folder, or `~/.minetest/` 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](https://wiki.luanti.org/Troubleshooting "Troubleshooting") and try to find out the cause of the issue by clearing all settings, tweaking settings or disabling mods.
