Trouble Shooting Game Crashes¶
Customizing (or not), your game's mod list¶
You are, of course!, free to add, remove, or update mods for your own instance or server, though understand that may break things.
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.
- Go to your game instance's folder
There should be an
Open Folder
button, or similar, in your launcher. - Look for:
- The latest file from the
crash-reports
folder, - The
latest.log
file, form thelogs
folder, - 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.
