How do I get the log files of the TH.GL Companion App?
Companion AppTechnical
Easiest Method: Use the Debug Snapshot Feature
The app includes a built-in debug snapshot feature that automatically gathers all relevant information:
- Open the Dashboard (double-click system tray icon)
- Click the Bug icon in the header (next to Discord/User/Info icons)
- Describe your issue in the text box (e.g., "Ore not showing up on map")
- Click Send - The app automatically captures and sends:
- Last 500 log entries (including debug logs)
- Current game state (player position, actors, character data)
- App version and system info
 
This method is faster and provides more context than manually sending log files.
Manual Method: Access Log Files Directly
If needed, logs are stored locally at:
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\The Hidden Gaming Lair
You can also type %appdata%\..\Local\The Hidden Gaming Lair into File Explorer.
Files:
- log.txt- Current session
- log.1.txtto- log.5.txt- Previous sessions (rotated on app restart)
- crash.txt- Crash reports (if any)
Note: The debug snapshot feature captures more information than these files alone, so prefer using that method when reporting issues.
