 Activating mode 2 can affect game performance so its probably not wise to leave that set all the time.
 As well as ''LogTest'', there are a few different logging categories which may be useful..

 LogLogin
 LogCurlVerbose
 LogDownloadableAssets

 so, if your client's debugconfig.txt included

+<code>LogTest=1
+LogScriptTrace=2
+</code>
-''LogTest=1
+.. you would get LogTest messages output to the debug console and ScriptTrace message written to the DevLog.txt file. (See [[scripting:reference:debugging|Debugging Scripts]] for more info on the ScripTrace functionality).
-LogScriptTrace=2''
-.. you would get LogTest messages output to the debug console and ScriptTrace message written to the DevLog.txt file.
