XBox users are unable to access the console log
Feedback, NormalPublic

Description

Game Version number: I'm honestly unsure. I do not play on XBox, but am writing on behalf of a community member. The date is July 15th, '24
Modded?: yes
If modded, please list the mods:
N/A
Issue Description:
XBox users are unable to access the console log, thus they are unable to debug any issues presented to them.

XBox players are unable to access the console log, this is detrimental to community members who:

  1. Have local network issues
  2. Have mod conflicts
  3. Develop mods

It is difficult to diagnose why a console player is having issues connecting to a server, they will receive messages such as SCRIPT_MISMATCH or MOD_MISMATCH; however, this is often not enough information to diagnose their problem.

  • This leads to users spending time downloading their entire modset again, rather than identifying the mod that is causing problems.
  • For community servers, this means that it is difficult to ensure that Xbox players have a good experience because we cannot track down the cause of their problems. It could be a mod being overzealous with its textures, a script attempting something too complex, or a plethora of other reason.
  • For modders, this means it is difficult to ensure that mods are working as intended for Xbox players and essentially inhibits any attempt at receiving quality feedback/bug reports from the users of mods.

Thank you for the help, sorry for butchering your report format.
