See if the bug and a solution are already known

Check that it isn't already visible in the FAQ of the project or somewhere near the top of the relevent bugtracker:

Spring Engine trouble shooting FAQ & Spring Engine bugtracker (mantis)

Spring Lobby (github)

Replay Site (github)

Or see the relevent project pages for links to other bug trackers. There is also a helps and bugs forum.

How to report bugs

To report a bug, please give a description, what is going wrong and how it can be reproduced. what steps are required to reproduce it? If required to reproduce the bug add a script or/and a link to the Game/Map.

Logfiles, screenshots, replays

• Always attach infolog.txt, as it contains system/driver/version info and if spring crashed. Click the link to see what it is and how to share it.

• Attach a replay: often Bugs can't be reproduced, its often better to see something than to only read about that.

• Screenshots are taken with the F12 key and saved in the \screenshots\ folder. You can attach them to postings or upload on site such as: imgur.com , abload.de

• If a dev asks you for more information, please answer his questions.

• Try to avoid endless discussions why a bug was introduced, be polite!

• If you want more tips for a good bug-report, please read "How to Report Bugs Effectively"

The better the bug-report, the better the chances, that it will be fixed!

Where to report bugs

Bugs in individual games should be reported to the game developers - contact the game developer first if you are unsure.
