Or, alternately, use the Test Log to simulate almost every possible crash log issue at once.

โš ๏ธ NOTE: Not all crash issues can be detected with this tool. This automated analysis follows a formulaic approach and may miss subtleties that human reviewers can catch. If this analyzer is less-helpful towards a particular series of related crash logs, please see bottom of page for a list of communities in which to request a human analysis.

๐Ÿช™ Has this tool saved you time? โŒ› If so, please consider supporting its continued development. Users regularly save hours or even days of frustrating troubleshooting. Even a $1 donation (a frugal coffee!) on Ko-fi or Patreon shows your appreciation and helps validate its ongoing improvements.

๐Ÿช™ With over 550 hours of ongoing development, this advanced analyzer examines modded Skyrim crash logs to help diagnose and fix 80-90% of crashes with identifiable causes, providing well-researched troubleshooting steps and links. It's currently helping over 100 different Skyrim modders each day, and stands apart from other automated analyzers with its advanced diagnoses, detailed troubleshooting steps (for most crash types) and frequent updates.
While not a replacement for talented human crash log readers, it works much faster and, when used judiciously, can free up these rare experts to focus on the more challenging crash logs that require human analysis.

Instructions:

Usage Recommendation: Where possible, test and compare results from multiple related crash logs, as some crash logs may contain insightful indicators that others do not. Also, some diagnoses lack confidence unless the same issue repeats.
