Use of telemetry data

As a developer of a mod designed to enhance gaming experiences, I want to explain why I collect anonymous telemetry data. By gathering this information, I aim to improve compatibility with different GPUs and GPU drivers. I understand the importance of privacy, and I want to assure you that I take it seriously. I only collect necessary data, and it is never sent regularly or used for any other purpose than enhancing the mod.

The anonymous telemetry data I collect provides valuable insights into the diverse hardware configurations and software environments that players use. This data helps me identify patterns and compatibility issues, allowing me to optimize the mod accordingly. Understanding which GPUs and drivers are commonly used enables me to prioritize testing and development efforts, ensuring the mod works seamlessly for a wide range of players.

I want to emphasize that your privacy is respected. I collect only the information that is essential for improving compatibility, and I make sure the telemetry data remains anonymous.

When is telemetry data collected

The mod collects SYSTEM_INFORMATION telemetry during the initial launch of the game with the mod loaded. Please note that if you upgrade to a newer version of the mod, this information may be retransmitted.

Additionally, SHADER_COMPILE_ERROR telemetry is collected when a shader fails to compile. This allows me to identify and address any issues related to shader compilation promptly.

What information is included in the telemetry dta

META_INFORMATION includes:

  • modVersion The version of this mod
  • modSemVer The version of this mod, but more detailed
  • mcVersion The version of the game
  • mcSemVer The version of the game, but more detailed

SYSTEM_INFORMATION telemetry includes:

  • META_INFORMATION
  • os The name of your Operating System
  • vendor The name of your GPU Vendor
  • renderer The name of your GPU
  • glVersion The name of your OpenGL implementation
  • glVersionMajor The major version of your OpenGL version
  • glVersionMinor The minor version of your OpenGL version
  • glVersionCombined The major and minor version of your OpenGL version
  • glVersionLwjgl The OpenGL version reported by LWJGL
  • glslVersion The GLSL version
  • extensions A list of supported, selected, OpenGL extensions
  • functions A list of supported, selected, OpenGL functions
  • cpuName The name of your CPU
  • compatible If your system is compatible with the mod

SHADER_COMPILE_ERROR telemetry includes

  • payload The shader compiler log and the shader source code
  • SYSTEM_INFORMATION

UNHANDLED_EXCEPTION telemetry includes

  • payload The exception message and it's stack trace
  • mods A list of all loaded mod ids
  • SYSTEM_INFORMATION

Additionally, by the nature of HTTP requests your IP address is transmitted to the collection server, but it is not stored.

Where is the telemetry data stored

The data is securely stored on Google server located in the EU
