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:
Be aware that stdout.txt is reset on every start of the game. A copy of it with a timestamp is generated when the game crashes. Use that in case you want to get help after a crash!
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:
.sav file with the actual savegame data.sav.lua file with some metadata and the mission state.jpg thumbnail image with the camera view at the point the game was saved
Scenarios created with the map editor use the same structure but are saved in the scenarios folder.
