What is a DxDiag log and how do you obtain it?


The DxDiag log

The DxDiag log (file extension: .txt) is a text document that is created by Microsoft's DirectX Diagnostic Tool, showing non-personalized information about the hardware and drivers of your system. The DxDiag log file helps our technical administration to identify whether the problem you encounter is happening due to incompatibilities or issues with certain hardware or driver components on your system. It is especially important with display or sound device issues, as it helps to identify the devices and their drivers easily.


How to obtain your DxDiag log:


Obtaining the DxDiag log is fast and easy. Just perform the following steps:

1. Press 'Windows Key + R' to open Microsoft's Run function


2. Type in 'dxdiag' in the input field and click 'OK'

What is a client log (.clog) and how do you obtain it?




The client log

Client logs (file extension: .clog) are files generated by the War Thunder client and show a reflection of all the actions a user has performed in one secluded game session. As soon as the launcher initializes the start of the game, a new client log is being started, which is finalized when the client is closed (the game session ends). Besides recording the actions of the user, it also records the client-side calculations and has a built-in error catching system, that will allow the technical administration to identify game code or synchronization issues efficiently.

Client logs are being saved once after a game session has ended. If you have an error that is reproducible, you can help increasing the expressiveness of your client log by starting a new game session, reproducing the error and then exiting the game ...

Since the pause in the current season of World War mode, we have worked on the further optimization of game servers.


Today we are resuming game days and the first play window will be held from 14:00 GMT on the 7th of July until 22:00 GMT on the 8th of July which will help us to evaluate the work which has been done.


On the basis of the collected statistics and your feedback we will decide about the continuation of the current WWM season or further delay and transfer it to a later date. You can report any possible issues in this special topic.


We are sorry for any inconvenience!

In high ranked aircraft battles, the main weapon type is now guided air-to-air missiles with infrared homing heads. The missile itself emits nothing at launch and the only means of detecting the fact that it has been launched in reality is visual detection - i.e. observation of the missile from a pilot’s eyes.




Previously we implemented the simulation of missile launch detection through a text warning regarding the fact that it had been launched, but this implementation wasn't very satisfactory to players and also us. We have received numerous requests to disable this system in aircraft RB similar to aircraft SB in order to increase the realism and importance of the player's actions by evading attacks. In addition it would increase the effectiveness of early air-to-air missiles with low maneuverability making it easier to dodge them after the appearance of a text warning.

Such would not be public info, afaik.

I won't doubt your provided reason, but I think "most people" would have a much... different angle... for requesting such info.

Commanders, we continue to improve the SB mode for ground vehicle battles. In the upcoming testing session, we have created an updated mechanism for requesting the location of allies, improved as a result of your feedback. We will additionally introduce new respawning points which are better adapted to SB mode.


These features have been already tested in SB mode, following which we considered your feedback and adjusted them accordingly. We plan to test these features for a longer period than usual. Experience the difference and share your opinions with us, and we'll keep an eye on your feedback for future updates!


These changes will be implemented on the 1st of May.
