Log files are very helpful when you have an issue and it needs to be diagnosed and fixed. Log files are computer generated and provide very valuable insights so developers or engineers can fix the problem.
Yuzu log files provide exactly that! They provide valuable information so the developers can fix the issues/errors that have been reported.
Before you start, you need to make sure the log filter has been changed to *:info. This is so the developers can do better analysis of the code.
This can be changed by going to Emulation > Configure > General > Debug when launch Yuzu. This is located under the Logging menu.
1: Lunch the game that is showing you any errors or crashing.
2: To share the logs if you have an Android smartphone, please go to Settings > Share debug logs.
3: To share the logs for Windows 10/11 or Linux, you will need to close out of Yuzu once the game has crashed, freeze or displayed any unwanted behavior.
Note: Do not re-open Yuzu after the above instructions, it has to be kept closed until you complete the rest of the instructions below.
4: Now the log files need to be collected into one place.
4a: (Windows 10/11): Navigate to %appdata%\yuzu\log\. A file called “yuzu_log.txt” will be present here.
4b: (Linux): Open the terminal and type echo $XDG_DATA_HOME . This command prints all the directories that have user-specific data. If the command returns nothing this means the directory has changed to. If something has been printed out, follow that directory it could be /username/home/folder or usually /yuzu/log.
5: If the log files are larger then 8 MB and you plan to upload them to a platform such as Discord, make sure they are under 8 MB. You can use tools such as WinRAR or 7-Zip.
6: Once you have all the log files, upload it where you were asked to provide the files.
That is all, you are done now!
Remember: As Yuzu is no longer a live project, this is shared here for reference only as to how log files were collected and reported to fix bugs reported by users.
