Wiki Resources

Reporting Bugs

If you are experiencing problems, you should consider reporting a bug.

Community

When asking for help with some technical problem in the game forums, please provide the following information:

  • which operating system do you use (e.g. Windows, Linux, Mac OSX)
  • which version of Wesnoth do you use (it is displayed in the bottom left corner of title screen)
  • contents of file "stderr.txt"
    • on MS Windows, that is usually found it is here: C:\Program Files\Wesnoth\stderr.txt

Forums

All of the following channels use the freenode IRC network unless otherwise noted. If you don't have an IRC client installed on your machine or are behind a strict firewall that blocks freenode's supported ports, you can use a web gateway service, such as webchat.freenode.net, for freenode.
