Announcing the VC:MP Crash Tracker

[Stormeus]

As explained in the Bugs and Crashes announcement, we now have a small dashboard for tracking client crashes on 0.4. It isn't really anything major, but it does hold us more accountable for crashes in that there's less of an excuse for us not being aware of them.

What does this mean for you?
Hopefully, nothing other than less crashes.

A companion update has been pushed to allow us to have these crashes reported to our server, which means any crashes that would be logged by VC:MP before are now just being sent to us automatically anyway.

The information we collect consists of the address in memory at which the crash occurred and the log that has already been saved to your disk. Nothing identifiable is intentionally included; we do not include your IP address in our stored metadata. The most identifiable information would probably be your Windows username in the crash logs, if you have any DLLs loaded from your user profile's folder (including VC:MP if you installed to the default installation directory, which is recommended).

I oppose the NSA and please stop destroying my privacy rights.
If you'd like to opt out of this program, go in-game and type /setconfig game_reportcrashes 0 or open your vcmp_config.txt file (which can be located at C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\VCMP\04beta) and add the line game_reportcrashes 0 if it doesn't already exist.

Please note that this program is opt-in by default.
