<p>Citra has some <a href="https://github.com/citra-emu/citra/issues">issues</a>, and by its
|
|
nature as an open source project, they are visible to everyone and fixable by
|
|
anyone. Unfortunately though, most contributions are made by
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/citra-emu/citra/graphs/contributors">a small minority of developers</a>.
|
|
These developers have found it difficult to prioritize their efforts, since the
|
|
majority of issue reports are written scattered across Discord, Reddit, forums,
|
|
IRC, and too many other places to count.</p>
|
|
<p>Because of this, the Citra team has put together a framework to report data about
|
|
how Citra is used to our server, and use that data to discover what are the most
|
|
popular games and hardware configurations, where emulated games crash in Citra
|
|
most often, and more. We had considered including this in last month’s progress
|
|
report, but we decided that it would be best to publish this on its own, so it
|
|
gets the attention it deserves. We’re very aware that privacy is important to
|
|
many of our users, and so from the earliest planning stage we knew we must be as
|
|
transparent and open about this as possible.</p>
|
|
<p>The telemetry framework will collect information such as:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Information about the version of Citra you are using</li>
|
|
<li>Performance data for the games you play</li>
|
|
<li>Your Citra configuration settings</li>
|
|
<li>Information about your computer hardware (e.g. GPU, CPU, and OS type)</li>
|
|
<li>Emulation errors and crash information</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Not everyone is comfortable sharing information about their system, so we’ve made it easy to opt-out:</p>

|
|
<p>You may have also noticed the field titled “Telemetry ID” in the screenshots, this
|
|
is an identifier generated randomly on install which is used instead of your IP
|
|
address. This makes data collection entirely anonymous, unless you choose to log in.
|
|
You can also reset your telemetry ID if you’d like by clicking “Regenerate”. The
|
|
new ID will also be completely random, and so it would be treated as a wholly new
|
|
identity.</p>
|
|
<p>Telemetry is an extremely useful developer tool, as they allow the developer to
|
|
be more aware of the users’ needs and priorities accurately, rather than guessing.
|
|
But it is only as useful as the data obtained, which is why we urge users to not
|
|
opt-out, so the data can be as accurate and correct as possible. Just as innacurate
|
|
measurements can damage a device during calibration, innacurate statistical data
|
|
will only cause damage to Citra.</p>
