I have been enjoying FTl quite a bit execpt that it has a random quitting issue which just closes the game at random with out any info

anything in installdir\crashlogs ?

Man I really like this game except I have the same issue. Using Steam, and randomly the game just closes with no error. I wouldn;t mind so much except that you can;t save your game. I had the game crash out about 5 times tonight. once I made it all the way to the final conflict and it just exited out with no error.. Anyone got any suggestions for a fix?

As ParanoikCZE suggested, please look for crashlogs in the folder inside FTL's installation folder. Email any along with a dxdiag dump to zasdarq@ftlgame.com. Sorry about the crashes.

Mine keeps crashing without anything in crashlogs. It just stops responding. It has happened once in a while since I bought it, but today I have started 2 games and both did it. I am running the steam version in windowed mode. Is there a command-line switch or something I need to turn on for crashlogs?

Is there anything in the stdout.txt and stderr.txt files that you can find in the game directory?

honsetly. I can;t find any logs. can;t even find the install directory. the shortcut on the desktop reveals the directory as steam:\ which obviously does not exist. when I do a windows search for FTL all I get is the shortcut. and when I do a windows search for crashlog it also comes up empty. so unless you know the name of the file, the extension, or a possible name of a directy where it might reside I can;t provide logs.

when I do a windows search for stdout.txt, or stderr.txt they do not exist on my computer.. does this mean there are no crash logs?
