Logs, Crash-Reports, Error Files, and How to Read Them

Finding and Sharing the Relevant Files

Your log files, crash reports, and error files are helpful, often essential, in diagnosing what problems your game may be having.

Use Crash Assistant or mclo.gs

Craftoria includes the mod Crash Assistant. When your game does crash, it should pop-up a window with a helpful button to prepare and share your logs. If you are playing on AOE pack with-out Crash Assistant, it is still helpful to paste your logs into mclo.gs, for sharing and for the basic syntax coloring it adds.

  1. Go to your game instance's folder There should be an Open Folder button, or similar, in your launcher.
  2. Look for:
  3. The latest file from the crash-reports folder,
  4. The latest.log file, form the logs folder,
  5. An hs_err_pidXXXX.log file

Paste the files you find into mclo.gs, then share the resulting links when seeking help diagnosing your game's problem.
