Step 3: You'll see a selection of possible issue types to create, we have special templates if you are reporting e.g. a Bug or Feature Request. Select the Get Started button for the appropriate option. If you're uncertain, select the first option.

Step 4: Copy the top part of the debug log, before the separator line into your report. This section contains important information, like your operating system and version of cockatrice. You can find the debug log in the top menu furthest to the right, labeled "Help". In case you're unable to run the client write down your operating system and version, and which download you used.

Step 5: Add to the ticket, explain what happened, the steps you took that led to the problem, and anything else relevant to the issue.

Once you've done all of these steps, you're good to go and should publish the ticket so a developer can start looking for a potential fix. Check in later in case we ask you to provide more information.
