Crash Logs

Since a number of players were having issues with my game crashing on launch I was wondering what information I should have them submit. All I can think of is
OS:
Graphics Card:
CPU?
If they even get a crash message at all it's usually just points to love.exe and isn't very helpful. Are there any crash logs or anything similar I can have them submit to help identify the problem(s)?

Have you given them the .love file separatedly? If it works, it'll probably be a problem in the way the .exe was created.

I have it available in .love and .exe and the people who have crashed immediately I've had try the .love version. Same problem either way.

I've been wondering the same thing... I've heard of random crashes from my local testers, and had a couple myself, and am wondering how I'm going to track down the cause. OS with Service Pack where applicable, CPU, GPU, maybe RAM, but I can't think of a whole lot else.

I've been testing my project on my shitty school laptop, which can hardly run anything... I figured out that if you load to much on launch (pics, sounds, etc.) it makes the game crash. If i use threads on the other hand, it works much better. Loadings screen for the win!
Edit:
Another thing. If you HAVE to load everything on launch, keep it inside the love.load() function, and
not outside
like this:
Code: Select all
image = love.graphics.newImage( "fail.png" )
function love.load()
-- code
end

I do have a lot of shit outside that load function so that's probably not helping ,but back to crash logs...
