    I'm getting Git errors when LOOT tries to update its masterlist. How do I fix this?

    Try deleting the .git folder in %LOCALAPPDATA%\LOOT\<game folder>\. If that doesn't work, make sure any firewalls or security software you have installed aren't stopping LOOT from reaching the online masterlist.

    LOOT shows the wrong or no version number for some plugins. Why?

    As version numbers are supplied by mod authors in a wide range of formats and LOOT has to detect as many as possible, it occasionally identifies parts of some descriptions as version numbers incorrectly. Authors can also forget to update their plugins' version numbers. When in doubt, check the version number given in a mod's readme.
