Well a tex system from 2015 and a latex from 2016 is not current.

Many things have changed in between, e.g. utf8 is now the default in
latex and latex properly supports the unicode engines.

Better don't use lualatex on such an old system, it still had
various problems at that time and you won't get any sensible
support.
