Bug Reporting Instructions and Patch Notes

[AurochJake]

If you encounter any issues with the game, it would be great if you could let us know. Always include as much information as you can about the issue(s), with screenshots and output logs helping massively when it comes to tracking down the source of the problem! Close the game first (this ensures that the log definitely includes all the details from the game), then follow the instructions below to attach the log.

To find your output_log.txt, right-click on the game in the Steam client and hit Properties. Then navigate to the Local Files tab and hit Browse Local Files, and your output log can be found in the folder Ogre_Data.

If playing on Mac, your log can be found in ~/Library/Logs/Unity/Player.log :)

Include this file in an email to [e-mail] with as much information as you can for how to recreate the issue and we'll get it looked at as soon as possible!

It's important you attach the log, or make a copy of it, before relaunching the game, as this will wipe the previous log!

Thanks, and happy hunting!

Hey all, extra note re Mac players getting us the log: Unfortunately it is a shared log, so needs an extra step. you'll need to run the game and then open up a terminal and type/cut and paste this command in:

cp ~/Library/Logs/Unity/Player.log ~/Desktop/OgrePlayer.log

And press return.

This should result in a file called "OgrePlayer.log" on their desktop that you can send to us.

Thanks :)
