Debug.err

This is a question that I suppose I should know the answer to by now, but I don't. Is a debug.err report generated at each save, or only if a problem is detected?

The game generates a debug.err every time it is run (overwriting any preexisting copy), and writes to it continuously as the game is played. So as long as the game even tries to start, there will be some sort of debug.err written.

Thanks, Kryo- that is what I was afraid of. I can't seem to find one. I have, in the past, and even mailed it in; but it just doesn't seem to exist anymore. All my .sav's are there, as well as the .raceconfig's and .customrace's- but the debug.err is nowhere to be seen. I haven't had any real problem with the games, I just happened to be in the folder and noticed that it wasn't there. Any idea how to find my little lost lamb?

Debug.err is written in the game's installation directory (C:\Program Files\Totalgaming\Stardock\GalCiv2 by default), not the My Documents\My Games\GalCiv2 location where saves are kept.

It is in the main program folder - usually C:\Program Files\Stardock\TotalGaming\GalCiv2.

The .sav game files are located in My Documents\My Games\GalCiv2.

So you are just looking in the wrong place.

Found them. Did a search through windows, and they were in Program files/Stardock/TotalGaming/GalCiv2/(and also)DA. Isn't there a copy that is supposed to be in the Documents/Games/GalCiv2 folder, or am I just having a brainfart?
