I'm trying to troubleshoot a crashing project and want to inspect the .crashlog file generated to see if it has clues.
Live 11, Windows 10.
I found this page:
https://help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/artic ... sh-Reports
and this helpful video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziIkXhuYbZ4
which shows him looking at the .crashlog file on a Mac (at time 1min 40 ish).
How do you open these files in Windows? I've tried Notepad, Wordpad and Notepad++ but none produce readable info.
Video shows:
I get:
I've tried the various encoding options in Notepad++ but no joy.

copy the text, open Live > drag in empty M4L device > open Max editor > paste > save M4L device

Re: How to read .crashlog files
a lot easier: get "WinDBG preview" from the Microsoft Store, it's by MS and opens .dmp files (which are the crashlog files in Windows)
Re: How to read .crashlog files
Thanks doubleUG and randi. Both look like they do a similar job on opening the .dmp files. I gave the WinDBG one a go.
This has given me a couple of clues but the format seems more machine friendly than meatsack friendly, to me at least. Not a programmer.
I think more instructive could still be reading the .crashlog files - if you note in the screengrab from the video above lines 34 and 35 clearly name which plugin caused the crash.
So 2 useful replies so far, thanks again, but still looking for a solution to directly read the .crashlog.

Re: How to read .crashlog files
this is exactly what windbg will show you IF there is a plugin to blame, sometimes it's Live itself or some other dll. But this will also be shown. I wrote a longer explanation in the lines community which I'll link to https://llllllll.co/t/ableton-live/9944/1044
Re: How to read .crashlog files
Ah OK, interesting. Not familiar with the behind the scenes workings so I'll have a read of the thread you linked to get a better understanding of what I'm looking at, thanks.
Good food for though as my issue with this specific project is still making me scratch my head.
