Sadly no, there is no program available to the public that decodes minidumps. At least none that I know of. You have to do what the rest of us do and test, test, and more test. Heck, that's my main job in the Distant Stars mod. It gets kinda irritating so I can sympathize.

I have to agree with Ryat here. Some people have purported to have had the symbols for reading debug files in old threads, but I've seen no real evidence of this.

As it stands I am probobably the only one providing a public tool that comes close to isolating issues such as typos, missing strings, missing entities, etc (still won't replace the dev.exe and good troubleshooting). You might check it out when you get a chance.

Thats too many devs on a team with no communication or simple format rules. Makes for aLot of erRors.

Is it devTEAM or devTeam or DEVTEAM. To hell with the way the guy beside me does it, Im doing it this way.
