Old Cathode can bundle its own logs, version info and last crash into a single
76-
file — that one file usually answers every question we'd otherwise have to ask
77-
you one at a time. Look for a Collect Diagnostics button in the app, or run it with --collect-diagnostics.

Config values are redacted before the bundle is written, but do have a look
79-
before attaching it: paste the contents here, or drag the file into this box.

Old Cathode writes a plain text log every time it runs, and it is usually the
76+
difference between "it does nothing" and an answer — almost everything that
77+
goes wrong in a plugin looks identical from your side, with no message
78+
anywhere, and the log is where it says which thing it was and what your
79+
graphics driver had to say about it.
80+
81+
There is no button to press and no command to run: Old Cathode is loaded by
82+
the host, so the log is simply a file already sitting on your disk.

- **Windows** — `%LOCALAPPDATA%\old-cathode\logs\old-cathode.YYYY-MM-DD.log`
86+
87+
Attach the file for the day it went wrong, or paste the last few dozen lines
88+
here. Read it first if you'd rather: it's plain text, and the most identifying
89+
things in it are file paths and the name of your GPU.
