Bugtracker Guidelines

This page describes how to use the Bugtracker on the wiki, and when you should and should not use it.

Run the latest mod version
Before posting to the bugtracker, make sure that you're running the latest version of the Lord of the Rings Mod. If you are running an old version and are running into bugs, there is not much sense reporting it to this wiki because Mevans does not fix bugs in old versions of this mod.

Don't run any other mods
If you are running into problems with the mod and are running mods other than the Lord of the Rings mod and Fastcraft, then you should post your problem in the Technical Support, not the bugtracker. Not all mods are guaranteed to run well with the LotR mod (OptiFine is known for visual glitching, and the Aether also tends to cause crashes).

Alternatively, you may remove the other mods temporarily and see if you can reproduce the problem.

Post detailed descriptions
Please be as detailed as possible when posting bugs. If possible, tell us the biome, location, in-game events (heavy combat, mining, cutting wood, etc) and Forge version when reporting.

Use the default texture pack
Certain visual glitches may be caused by broken or incompatible texture packs. Revert to the default texture pack before reporting a bug.

Make sure you're running the proper Forge version
If you run the wrong Forge version, the game can crash randomly. Update Forge to the version that Mevans recommends before starting the game again.
