Crash Minidump Location

From: Where do I find Planetary Annihilation crash minidumps files?

The default location for crash minidump files generated by PA is now the logs directory in the Planetary Annihilation Data Directory

The environment variable MINIDUMP_DIRECTORY can be used to change the location where crash minidump .dmp files are saved for local servers.

On Windows the default location for minidump files created by Windows Error Reporting (WER) is:

• %LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps\ eg C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\CrashDumps\PA.exe.NNNNN.dmp (generated by Windows)

On macOS you can use the console application to locate crash reports created by macOS:

Crash dump files are named like:

• xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.dmp (generated by PA on all operating systems)
• PA.exe.NNNNN.dmp (generated by Windows)
• PA_YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS_name.crash (generated by macOS)
