Advanced Combat Tracker -- FAQ

Question: How do I know if ACT is reading my logs?

At the top of the window, it will either say 'Log Active' or 'Log Idle'. When you first start, it will be marked as active, and if there is no log activity for 10+ seconds, it will be marked idle. Any future activity will mark it active and repeat the process. You may also look in the 'Options' tab Miscellaneous section and see if the file position changes when things happen in game. Log file errors will also appear here, if they occur.
