VTube has a sophisticated error reporting system that can help us track problems that you encounter when VTube is running.

Contents

Error Windows

Non-Critical Error

If the error is not critical, then you will be given a choice of

  1. "continue application"
  2. "restart application"
  3. "close application"

Critical Error

When the error is critical, then VTube cannot continue. The window will look like this:

In this case, you will not be given the choice to continue. Your choices are only:

  1. "restart application"
  2. "close application"

Call Stacks Menu

The next tab menu over is the Call Stacks menu. It helps us follow what leads up to the error event.

If you want to share this bug event with us, then take a picture of this menu and send it to [email protected].

Log File

If an error occurs, VTube will also attempt to save a log file named: "vtube_bugreport.log" in "C:\Users\Public\Documents\VTube\config\logs".

You can attach this log file to an email and send it to [email protected].

Log Files Do Not Always Save

If the error is critical (that is, the program is not allowed to continue), then this log file may not be saved as the program closes. In general, it is safer to take a picture of the General and Call Stacks menus to save and send us the error information.
