If you're having issues with DuckStation, we may request a log file for you to help figure out what's going on.
# For Windows/Linux (in the Qt Frontend):
1. Open DuckStation.
2. Open `Settings -> Advanced Settings`.
3. Set the `Log Level` drop-down to `Debug`.
4. Check the `Log To System Console` and `Log To File`.
5. Close and re-open DuckStation.
6. Start your game and reproduce whichever issue you are having.
7. Either screenshot the console window, or send us a copy of `duckstation.log` in your user directory (https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation/blob/master/README.md#user-directories).
**After you have sent us a copy of the log, be sure to disable logging to reduce disk wear and restore full performance.**
1. Open `Settings -> Advanced Settings`.
2. Set the `Log Level` drop-down to `Information`.
4. **Uncheck** the `Log To System Console` and `Log To File` options.
