If Quaternion doesn't find cache files at startup it downloads the whole state from Matrix servers, which can take much time (up to a minute and even more, depending on the number of rooms and the number of users in them). Deleting cache files may help with problems such as missing avatars, rooms stuck in a wrong state etc. ## Troubleshooting +libqmatrixclient has its own section on troubleshooting - in case of trouble make sure to look into lib/README.md too. + #### Ever reconnecting though the network is fine If Quaternion starts displaying the message that it couldn't connect to the server and retries more than a couple of times without success, while you're sure you have the network connection - double-check that you don't have Qt bearer management libraries: they cause issues with some WiFi networks. Try to find "bearer" directory where your Qt is installed (on Windows it's next to Quaternion executable; on Linux it's a part of Qt installation in `/usr/lib/qt5/plugins`). Then delete or rename it (on Windows) or delete the package that this directory is in (on Linux).
