Hello @RokeJulianLockhart, generally no, asking for debug symbols for proprietary software isn't something that's going to happen.

Bbeedell-roke 2026-05-20 github

@kisak-valve, are traces of any use in lieu of them? I don't want to submit useless information, although I occasionally don't have much else to go off. If there's an alternative that I can use to make such reports more useful, I shall.
