What is a Diagnostic?

When we ask for a Diagnostic or Log, we are asking for a specific type of file, specifically, a file that follows the following name format and looks similarly to the image below. Diagnostics - {Date} @{Time}.html (Example Diagnostics - 2021'10'21 @2012'46''.html) image

Privacy Concerns

Before this tutorial explains how to give these files, you should know that the file gives away the following information about you:

  • Your name
  • The username of the current user account
  • The name and ID of your steam account
  • Every message shared with you in chat
  • The IDs of the mods you use

How to Find Your Diagnostics

Windows

On Windows 10+ (possibly earlier, but unconfirmed), your logs are located in the Documents/Endless Space 2/Temporary Files folder image

  • Based off of the date modified, send the logs according to when you stopped playing the session that you are sending logs for. (If the log happened at 12:47, but you closed the game at 2:10, then the Date Modified will say 2:10).
  • If you are still playing, sort by date modified and it will be at the top.

Your logs may be too big to upload to Discord! If you have this problem, zipping them (Right Click -> Send to -> Compressed (zipped) Folder) will bring them down to an uploadable size almost every single time.
