Separate a patch mismatch from a reproducible crash
A crash after an update, a reproducible mission softlock, a graphics artifact, and a missing DLC feature are different reports. First note the platform and current patch, let the platform finish updating, and use Steam's file verification for Steam installs. Do not treat file verification as a guarantee or delete saves as a generic first step.
| Problem | Low-risk first action | Evidence to record | Escalate when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steam game crashes/freezes/graphics issue | Update game; use Steam's official file-verification steps | Platform, game build, driver/OS context if relevant, exact trigger, whether repeatable | It persists after the documented checks or blocks progression |
| One mission or area stalls | Record chapter/mission, objective, last actions, and whether leaving/reloading changes it | Exact mission name and steps; mark whether a patch note names that issue | The same progression block reproduces after updating |
| Jungle feature seems absent | Check DLC scope and the specific area/minigame before reporting a base-game bug | DLC owned/installed, unlock point, menu text or symptom | The issue matches a documented pack-specific fix and remains on its applicable build |
| Need to send logs | Use only the platform path named by MINTROCKET and follow the official support request | Attach only requested files through the official channel after reviewing them | A file may contain account names or other private data |

Developer-listed Steam diagnostic paths
MINTROCKET's notices list these locations. On Windows, AppData may be hidden; use the path as a location reference rather than pasting personal files into a public discussion. Mac notices identify Player.log and SData. Steam Deck uses the game's Steam compatibility prefix.
| Steam platform | Developer-listed location | Handling note |
|---|---|---|
| Windows | %LocalAppData%/../LocalLow/nexon/DAVE THE DIVER | Open the folder locally; share only requested diagnostic files. |
| macOS | ~/Library/Logs/nexon/DAVE THE DIVER/Player.log and ~/Library/Application Support/nexon/DAVE THE DIVER/SData | The support notice lists both the log and SData location; keep the original files unchanged. |
| Steam Deck | ./.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1868140/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/nexon/DAVE THE DIVER | The listed path is inside the Steam game's compatibility data; do not delete the prefix as a troubleshooting shortcut. |
| Console editions | No console path in the cited Steam notices | Use the platform publisher's support workflow; don't apply PC file instructions. |

Build a report someone can reproduce
Useful reports lead with game version, platform and mode/DLC, then give a short action sequence and the observed result. The local builder keeps entered text in this page only; it neither reads a log nor uploads the resulting text.
- Record the platform and displayed game version; if the title does not show one, say that you could not confirm it rather than inventing a build.
- Name the chapter, mission, location, weapon, minigame, or DLC only if it is relevant to the symptom.
- Write the shortest steps that reproduce the problem, the expected result, and the actual result or exact error.
- State whether Steam file verification and a game update were completed, without claiming they fixed the issue if you have not retested.
- Review the text and any requested log locally. Remove account identifiers, unrelated file paths, email addresses, and private save data before sending through an official channel.

Scope and limits
MINTROCKET directs players in its Steam notices to its official Discord and asks for compressed files for support; this guide does not create a ticket or claim a response. Steam discussions and Reddit are user-generated and unverified. No save repair, file restore, crash reproduction, or hardware diagnosis is claimed.

Before you play
- Update from the relevant platform and record the actual build before reporting.
- For Steam crashes, freezing, or graphics issues, use Steam's own file-verification instructions.
- Use only the platform-specific path MINTROCKET lists; do not apply Steam paths to console editions.
- Never delete a save or compatibility prefix as a generic fix.
- The browser report builder sends nothing and reads no files; review sensitive details before sharing any evidence.
Frequently asked questions
Does verifying files repair a damaged save?
Steam's guide verifies installed game files. It is not documented here as save repair, and this page does not recommend deleting or overwriting a save.
Can I upload my log through GamerWin?
No. The builder formats only text you enter in the browser. It does not read files or upload anything.
Which log path should a Steam Deck player use?
MINTROCKET lists the DAVE THE DIVER folder within compatdata/1868140's Windows compatibility prefix. Confirm the exact current support instructions before attaching files.
Is a Reddit comment verified support advice?
No. It is user-generated discussion and may refer to another patch or platform; use MINTROCKET/Steam instructions for support steps.
