[Linux] Where to find crash report or log files

[Jake]

I've been dealing with a particularly frustrating crash-to-desktop issue over in another thread, and "rimworld_log" has no helpful information whatsoever. But as a Linux user, I don't get a crash report next to the game executable as described here, and nothing especially helpful turned up when I went into /var/log.

Any suggestions as to where I might look instead?

As far as I know, you need to use gdb in order to get the traceback.

In the game folder:

Code Select Expand

gdb ./RimWorldLinux.x86_64

Some thread might segfault on game load, type 'continue' to ignore them. Once your game truly crashes, you can get the backtrace using 'bt'.

If there is an easier way to get that kind of info, I would be glad to know.

"No debugging symbols found in ./RimWorldLinux.x86_64".

That would appear to be a bust. Thanks anyway.
