The game log files include information about map generation, save game loading and game crashes. The log files are located in the crash_dump folder (in the userdata directory). and consist of three important files:

• stderr.txt
• stdout.txt
• at least one file ending with .dmp (if Transport Fever 2 crashed)

When sending crash logs to the developer, please make sure to include the latest .dmp file. See Getting Help for further details.

Savegames in saves folder consist of three files:

• a .sav file with the actual savegame data
• a .sav.lua file with some metadata and the mission state
