📋 About This Mod
Fork of Cobb's Crash Logger that implements logging for quite a few game RTTI classes. This is supposed to be a much more readable alternative that doesn't require reverse-engineering skills to figure out what went wrong.
Main feature of this release is "Crash Logs" folder, automatically filled with old crash logs, so you never accidentally delete an important log by restarting the game. Updates to processing of NiNode-based classes should allow for better logging of game 3D objects.
If you are scared away by several """anti"""viruses on VirusTotal saying this is malware, I can only recommend using Cobb's Crash Logger -- on my side I attempted to avoid the issue and have also uploaded the mod for Microsoft analysis. I uploaded debug version of the file to Nexus which doesn't get picked up by as many antiviruses -- the comparatively giant file size is the result of this workaround.
For any poor soul who makes DLLs and finds their own mods get massive amounts of false positives -- try switching to dynamic linking.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons

- Readable logs are a game-changer—no more digging through cryptic dumps to find the issue.
- Active development (updated March 2026) means it's likely compatible with current game patches.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires some familiarity with crash logs to interpret the RTTI class info, even if it's more readable.
- As a fork, it may not include all features or fixes from the original Cobb's Crash Logger.

For modders and players who are tired of cryptic crash logs and want a clearer picture of what's breaking their game. If you're a mod author debugging CTDs, this is a must-have. Skip if you never look at crash logs and just want to play.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the DLL in your game's root folder or Data folder, depending on the mod manager you use.
- After a crash, check the generated log file for lines mentioning RTTI classes—those point to the offending mod.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the installation to avoid file conflicts.
