##### When LOOT updates the load order, it removes line breaks from `plugins.txt` and `loadorder.txt`. Won't this break something?
LOOT has probably just replaced the `CR LF` line breaks with `LF` line breaks. It doesn't make any difference to the game.

##### I'm using a proxy to connect to the Internet. How do I configure LOOT's masterlist updater to use it?
First of all, LOOT only supports unauthenticated proxies, so if your proxy requires some form of authentication, LOOT won't be able to use it directly.
If your proxy is unauthenticated, LOOT will use the `https_proxy` environmental variable. If your proxy configuration doesn't already set it, you can do so in Windows by:
1. Opening the System item in the Control Panel.
2. Open the System Properties dialog by clicking the "Advanced system settings" item in the sidebar.
3. Open the Environmental Variables dialog by clicking the "Environmental Variables..." button in the "Advanced" tab.
4. In the User variables section, click the "New..." button.
5. Put https_proxy as the variable name, and the proxy URL as the variable value in the New User Variable dialog.
6. Click "OK", then "OK" in the Environmental Variables dialog.
7. Relaunch LOOT.
