How to create a log file that will help us find why the game crashes

What you will need:

• A PC and an Android phone
• USB cable to connect your phone to the PC
• Enabled Developer Settings and USB debugging on your phone (described below)

Before you start, please, download the following files:

• Android Windows Platform Tools https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
• Our simple script to create a log file https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GYrOUNLfeDkZ4ZIAUdQQyvXbN3LSC8p4/view?usp=sharing

Step by step instructions:

1. Download the Android Windows Platform Tools: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip 
2. Extract the .zip file to your Downloads folder - right-click on the downloaded file and select Extract All, then just click on Extract. 

3. Download the script file getlog.bat https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GYrOUNLfeDkZ4ZIAUdQQyvXbN3LSC8p4/view?usp=sharing and copy the script file into the extracted folder /platform-tools_r30.0.5-windows/platform-tools. It is important to have the script file in the extracted folder for it to work. 

4. Enable the developer options on your phone

• You can follow this guide for Samsung phones - the process is very similar for all Android phones: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-do-i-turn-on-the-developer-options-menu-on-my-samsung-galaxy-device/
• After you enable the developer options, enter the Developer options menu and enable USB debugging 

5. Connect your phone to your PC via USB cable

• When the phone is connected to your PC, select the File transfer option from the phone’s menu
• Your phone will ask you if you authorize USB debugging from the connected PC - approve this request

6. With the phone connected to the PC, run the getlog.bat script. A new file will be created in the folder /platform-tools_r30.0.5-windows/platform-tools called log.txt
7. Start the game and try to induce the crash. 
8. All done! You can now disconnect your phone from the PC and disable developer options on your phone. Share the log.txt file with us - please, use the form at http://madfingergames.com/help. Describe the circumstances of the crash and don’t forget to attach the log file you created.
