MiTS 3 now includes a Canary Mode to help detect and resolve hidden errors before they affect the final release of the software. This guide explains what Canary Mode is, why it matters, and how you can enable it to improve software stability.
What is Canary Mode? #
Canary Mode is a special testing mode designed to catch certain types of errors (bug) that may otherwise go unnoticed. It forces the software to stop and display an error whenever it encounters an issue with data binding. This helps engineers and developers identify and fix problems early, preventing them from carrying over into future version updates.


Importance of Canary Mode #
In normal mode, some errors may be silently ignored, meaning the software continues running but with incorrect behaviour. This could lead to incorrect calculations, missing selections, or other unnoticed issues. Canary Mode ensures that errors are immediately visible, allowing quick fixes before they reach the broader user base.
Note: If an error appears in Canary Mode but not in Normal Mode, it doesn’t mean the software is working fine -it just means the issue is hidden
Who should use Canary Mode? #
- Engineers and Developers: Required to keep this mode enabled at all times for debugging purposes
- Advanced Users: If you experience unexplained issues, enabling Canary Mode may help identify the problem
- Normal Users: Normally, you won’t need to enable Canary Mode. However, knowing about it helps you understand how MiTS 3 is improved over time
How to activate Canary Mode? #
You can enable Canary Mode by following these simple steps:
- Navigate to Options > Machine Settings in MiTS 3
- Locate the Canary Mode section
- Select ThrowException and click OK
- Close and re-launch MiTS 3 to activate canary mode

ThrowException = Canary mode
Conclusion #
Canary Mode in MiTS 3 helps detect hidden errors by forcing the software to stop when a problem occurs. While mainly intended for engineers, it’s a usefule feature for advanced users who want to troubleshoot issues. By enabling Canary Mode, you contribute to a more stable and reliable MiTS 3 experience for everyone.
