Salty Chat FAQ
Where can I download an old version?
In most cases you don't need an older version, because each version within a major release is compatible with each other (see versioning scheme). If you are experiencing issues with the latest version, you should create a detailed bug report here on GitHub or our Discord.
We provide older versions in case the latest version is unusable for your case, but we don't provide any guarantee for availability of older versions and will not support them. The download of specific versions is available at https://saltyhub.net/download.
How to enable extensive logging?
To debug issues and see what Salty Chat is sending/receiving through its WebSocket, you can enable more verbose logging.
Open your TeamSpeak client
Go to
Plugins>Salty Chat>Open SettingsEnable
Expert ModeSelect
ExtensiveforLog Level
You can get a live feed of the log by pressing CTRL + L in TeamSpeak (Tools > Client Log) or find the files at %appdata%\TS3Client\logs.
To disable extensive logging, you can either disable Expert Mode or set Log Level to Info.
Don't use ExtensiveDebug until further instructions, because this will result in a huge log file.
My TeamSpeak crashes
Make sure you are using the latest version of Salty Chat.
In case you are experiencing crashes with the latest version, provide us the crashdump (%appdata%\TS3Client\crashdumps) and some information about the situation in which the crash occurred. If there is no crashdump, you can provide the log (%appdata%\TS3Client\logs).
