TABS Crash Log
Automatically writes TABS errors, exceptions, and fatal crashes to a crash.log file in your game folder.
Requirements
- BepInEx for TABS
- No config or in-game setup required
Where to find the log
By default, the file is written to your TABS install folder:
/crash.log
Steam example:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Totally Accurate Battle Simulator\crash.log
If the game folder cannot be written to, the mod falls back to:
/crash.log
How to confirm it is working
On launch, open BepInEx LogOutput.log and look for:
Crash log:
That line shows the exact file path for your install.
How to read the log
Each error is written as a readable block:
- REASON - what went wrong, in plain language
- SOURCE - the method or assembly where it originated (when available)
- Stack trace - indented lines below the reason for deeper debugging
Fatal crashes that close the game are marked with:
FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION
and use double-line borders so they are easy to spot when scrolling.
Notes
- The log is cleared on each game launch - crash.log only contains errors from the current session.
- Each session starts with a header: === TABS Crash Log - ===
- Only errors, exceptions, and asserts are logged (not normal info/warning spam).
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
