+===== 9 Technical Help =====
+The best way to get help or assistance is to login to the Crossfire [[http://crossfire.real-time.com/irc/index.html|IRC]]] or [[http://crossfire.real-time.com/discord/index.html|Discord]] channel for assistance on problems, general questions, gameplay discussion or other game related topics.
+==== 9.1 Client Help ====
+Just in case you encounter an issue like this with the Windows GTkv2 Client.
+Error message is "could not load main window, check that your layout files are not corrupt"
+The gtk2 client on windows stores those settings in the client.ini file.
+  - Make sure you download again or have the original client .zip file available
+  - Exit your client if you have not done so already
+  - Navigate to C:\Users\username\appdata\local\crossfire
+  - Delete the client.ini file
+  - Unzip the client .zip file again
+  - Launch the client and it should work again now
+  - Adjust your settings again to restore your preferred layout and other options
+==== 9.2 Server Help ====
+==== What does it mean when you see a message like "skipping time over by 106 ms" in the server log file? ====
+This message is normally informative. Usually it means that the server tick overshot the amount of time it was supposed to take to process. The most common cause is that a map had to be saved or loaded, and the whole server stalled while that happened.
