+If you're reporting an issue specific to an OpenMW fork, e.g. [TES3MP](https://github.com/TES3MP/openmw-tes3mp/issues) for multiplayer or [OpenMW-VR](https://gitlab.com/madsbuvi/openmw/-/issues) for OpenXR VR, please report it to that fork's author instead of here. Mod list issues or mod installer issues also do not belong here.

+- What is your operating system?
+- What version of OpenMW are you using?
+- If you used a bleeding edge build, state the exact revision used.
+- What version of Morrowind are you using (i.e. retail CD or Steam)? What addons (Tribunal, Bloodmoon) do you have installed?
