• There are a whole lot of typos and grammatical errors!
  • Well, they don't crash the game so don't worry too much. ;)

• Reading a scroll of harden material crashed the game!
  • If you're carrying corpses, this inevitably happens. So don't carry corpses or just drop them when you use the scroll.

• Some of the keys on my keyboard don't seem to work...
  • This can be a critical problem playing IVAN (especially when you use a multilingual keyboard with different scancodes). Some variants of IVAN, such as IVAN 3D, provide solution on this problem; or maybe you can try using some key config software.

• Segmentation fault on:
  • Linux version 2.6.24-22-generic (buildd@vernadsky) (gcc version 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)) (Ubuntu hardy heron), often when using stairs, always when trying to load savefiles. (see Talk:Known Issues#Strace) Always when going upstairs from the mother carnivorous plant.

• Source doesn't compile on (insert your OS here):
  • Linux version 2.6.24-22-generic (buildd@vernadsky) (gcc version 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)) (Ubuntu hardy heron)
