Troubleshooting

What to do first when Ruwa misbehaves, and where to get help.

Something broke. Before you go hunting, do these three things — they take a couple of minutes and they're what makes the difference between "it crashes sometimes" and a bug someone can actually fix.

Do this first

Protect the project

Save it, or copy the file somewhere safe. Do this before you experiment. Whatever's wrong, losing the artwork on top of it would be worse.

Check what changed

Skim the release notes. If the behavior shifted in the version you just installed, that's your answer and you're done.

Try to reproduce it

Open a new project and see if you can make it happen again. Then trim the steps down until you've got the shortest sequence that still triggers it.

Still stuck?

Head to the Ruwa Discord server. It's the fastest route to both other users and the developer.

If it looks like a real bug rather than a local hiccup, Reporting a bug lists what to bring along.
