It depends on the bug.
- If it is a display bug or if there is a simple way to reproduce it, nothing.
- If it is a network game, the logs from all players. If it is a world 
desyncronisation, the Checksum*.log, otherwise it depends on where the 
problem is. What you can do is to save the logs, not upload them, and wait 
for us to ask which one we need.
- If it is a crash, non related to network, the saved game

If the bug is known or we can reproduce it easily, no need for saved games or 
logs. If it is something strange and hardly reproducable, they are usefull.
