HowTo:Use Dr Watson
Revision as of 11:20, 26 March 2005 by Programmerandrew (talk | contribs) (Added initial instructions)
Getting a backtrace from Dr Watson is very helpful in debugging crashes. To set up Dr Watson, we first need to change the type of log it dumps, and the location.
Launch Dr Watson, it should be in c:\windows\system32
Change the location of its output somewhere convenient, and set it to create a mini-dump (the full dumps are not human readable, this is).
Then you should get a log produced when Vegastrike crashes. Please submit this with your bug report.
If you can add any more detail to this page, please edit it! This is copied from the forums and untested.
