Several crashes in the last few days: need info on reporting them

Recommended Posts

I've noticed several crashes since release, maybe as much as half a dozen so far. Where do I find these crash reports, and where do I send them?

I'm wondering the same. I heard about eventviewer, and several file extensions to zip and upload. Can't find any of these. Some quick tips would be much appreciated.

That's only half the equation! (of which I already was aware). Now what do I send there, and where do I find it?

There's a link at the top of that page called "Report Issue". Of course, you could search for the problem and see if it's already reported and then add your details to the same issue #.

See http://feedback.arma3.com/how-to-user.html.html for what to submit.

I assume you are getting the PhysX3_86.dll crash, and there are multiple issues submitted for that problem. The more debug dumps people submit, the more likely BIS can find the problem. Today's dev branch claims they might have found and fixed the problem. Once confirmed, they will likely hotfix the stable release.

I still think just opening non-descriptive threads (about the same thing) doesn't help, but actually hinders the process because it means BIS has more distractions.

What I really need is the crash log location.

And thanks for assuming. The thread was very descriptive, as I wasn't seeking out information for any specific crash. Just as my OP says, I'm looking for where the crash logs are so I can actually lend a hand to the devs and send in my logs as well. Now lets talk about what doesn't help.

Bump.

Seriously? I put the link right there that contains all the information you're asking for. You seem interested in being the person who refuses to take the life preserver that was thrown to them.

He's given you exactly the info you need in that link but you'd rather waste your time composing a snarky response and bumping this useless thread rather than reading the info or doing the most basic of searches http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Crash_Files .

Real nice attitude, but at least you're consistent.
