Armed Assault Log File (rpt)
Armed Assault
The arma.rpt file is a very useful to mission makers and addon makers, they are also helpful if your experience technical difficulties with the game itself. What you will find in the report file is information about scripting errors, config errors in addons, and plenty of unknown errors.
By default these files are located, and often hidden, in your windows folder options under view; you may have to turn on the option Show hidden files & folders in order to see these files.
WINDOWS XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\ArmA
WINDOWS VISTA:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\ArmA
Only the arma.rpt file is of use to content makers. The other two files are used when you need to report a problem to Bohemia Interactive; they like to have the files for analyzing.
Operation Flashpoint
In Operation Flashpoint there are two files which are created when OFP crashes, flashpoint.rpt and context.bin. These files are located in the root of the game directory and are only present if a crash is experienced.
The flashpoint.rpt contains information about which addons you have loaded, how much memory you have, which version you are running at the time of the crash. This can be a useful debugging tool if you are editing the mission files by hand, editing model configs. This file will often point to the cause of the crash.
The context.bin is a binary file and contains very little information to the end user.
