Eldorico Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Hi every one! I want to report bugs and crashs frome the linux steam version, and just don't find the log folder. Where should I look? is the file extension .log? I've found the ".steam/.../steamapps/Project Zomboid" and the "~(user)/Zomboid" folders.

snipertyler Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 If you open a "start - Run" console, navigate to the steam folder, and run the ProjectZomboid64.exe (or 32 if you're 32 bit) and add a 2>error.txt at the end you should get the console log as an extra file (whatever you name it). This isn't entirely correct, you'll get a "error.txt" file at the end, but it'll be blank.When you want the errors from a program, you need to place the 2>file after the command ie:foo 2>errorwould put out a file "error" saying "No command 'foo' found, did you mean:, etc"1 on the other hand, puts out normal outputecho hello 1>normal(Little extra info, &>file means both error & normal) Putting a bash script like this would not work (as you want it):echo hellofoo hello2>error Try this:echo hellofoo hello 2>error However, this won't do the whole file, just the failed foo command.To do the whole file, you can go to the projectzomoid.sh directory in the terminal and run ./projectzomoid.sh 2>error.logOr, a little workaround, put the entire file into a subprocess and then add a 2>error at the end.(echo hellofoo hello) 2>error But the easiest way (for me) is to simply open a terminal, go to the projectzomboid folder, and attempt to run it there. Any errors will be output to the terminal and you can copy and paste from there. ==============Fyi,I would reccomend backing up any files you might change. copy and paste would be fine.The pz folder for steam is located here: ~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/ProjectZomboid.sh is *similar* to .exe but more similar to .bat filesTo start a terminal, hit the "windows" key and type terminal, or hit <ctrl>+<alt>+<t> (for ubuntu) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gekkobear Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I haven an error.log in:C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\ProjectZomboid\error.log Of course that's Windows, but I'd hope it'd be similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldorico Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Ok thanks. I have a file like this to, and it is created when there is a crash related to the Java environnement. I just wondered if the game itself had a general log file. However, thanks for the answer ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gekkobear Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 If you run from a batch file, you can put out a logfile of your own... I've done this early on but not so much recently. Without running from a batch file or from the console directly I don't think there's a "default" log file created. If you open a "start - Run" console, navigate to the steam folder, and run the ProjectZomboid64.exe (or 32 if you're 32 bit) and add a 2>error.txt at the end you should get the console log as an extra file (whatever you name it). When I started playing I had to do some batch file tweaking & console runs to get the log files... might be of some help to scan it (although the patch files have changed several times since then)...http://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php/topic/2633-patch-0010-crashing-logs/?hl=console#entry37991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
