Feature request better logging of information (debug)

With problems like the weapons.dll game crashes plaguing server hosters for over a month now ......

.... with no resolution in sight

And this particular issue being very hard for ED to fix, even with lots of supplied

dcs.logs, crash dumps, tracks from the servers that are hosting and even tacview recordings.

With all this, it is still not giving the dev team enough info to help narrow down what is going wrong.

What about a more detailed debug log?, this could be invoked by starting dcs.exe with -debug

This could create another log (or even add more info to the current log),

which could then in turn be returned to ED for analysis when stuff goes wrong.

It doesn't have to be text it could even some sort of binary output

eg BIS have a -netlog param

That when the server is running it outputs debug data to a file

(not human readable by us, just numbers etc) so if there are issues BIS can examine it

I am not asking for a debug build, just give us users a better way of

reporting back issues that help you find problems faster.

Help us to help you

After all, we all want a better product ?

+1 here!

Go for it! :)

For more information in your log add this line to your autoexec.cfg

 

log.set_output("dcs", "", log.ALL, log.FULL)

It would not have helped with the weapons.dll issue anyway, it was a much harder crash to pin down and could only of been done with a debug server.

 

The debug server is for ED only, and that will not change

Thanks I will add this for better logging

My first post stated I was not looking for the debug build

Maybe this has pointed out a logging or error handling defeciency?
