Collect Logs

If you encounter problems with Veloren, we might ask you for logs or a trace. This tutorial shows you how to collect the logs, depending on your operating system, and the way you have installed Veloren.

By default a Veloren server and the voxygen system will both produce logs. They are printed in the terminal/cmd and to a file, called voxygen.log.<todays_date>. It even prints where the file is located to terminal/cmd:

Nov 25 01:40:14.388 INFO veloren_voxygen::logging: Setup terminal and file logging. logdir="/mnt/games/cargo-build/debug/userdata/voxygen/logs"

By default the granularity is INFO, but please provide logs on TRACE level (as shown below). Search for a message called Tracing is successfully set to TRACE to verify TRACE level is enabled.

Linux and macOS

Airshipper

1. Start Airshipper with -vv argument.
2. When the game starts it will print to the terminal the location of the log file. Check the Airshipper page.

Compiled

1. Start voxygen with TRACE level in terminal:

  RUST_LOG="trace" ./target/debug/veloren-voxygen
  # or RUST_LOG="trace" cargo run

2. Copy trace from terminal or the log file mentioned above.

Windows

Airshipper

1. Open a console (cmd).

   > On Windows press Windows key + R. Then type cmd and hit enter.

2. Type airshipper run -vv and hit enter.
3. Run the game until you encounter the problem.
4. The logs should be located in %Appdata%/airshipper/profiles/default/userdata/voxygen/logs or check the Airshipper page.

Compiled

Git Bash

-> See Linux/Compiled above

cmd

1. Open a console (cmd).
2. Go to your Veloren folder with the cd command, e.g. cd C:\Users\<Your Username>\Desktop\veloren.
3. Write set RUST_LOG=trace&& veloren-voxygen.exe and hit enter (exactly like here, without whitespace before &&)
4. The logs will now be printed to the Windows console and the folder userdata\voxygen\logs or %appdata%\veloren\.
