Development Console scripts flooding my game

daduhweewah · December 30, 2016, 02:21:31 PM

I have a large game running, I have 3 colonies with 48-28 and 14 people (last I counted, might be a bit higher now also have a few prisoners) and I have approx. 60 animals.

Performance has been bogged down as expected, but over the last couple in game days I have been getting scripts popping up in the bottom left of the screen and at the top it says Devlopment Console and then the scripts are all starting with a pawn name it looks like and usually ending with "wait" or "waiting" I cant remember/really tell the box pops up and off the screen really fast but is doing it at a rate of a slowish strobe light.

So I am not sure if this is caused because I am currently in the development unstable branch of the game, if I switch to the stable A16 branch will I lose my saves? I would like to switch over to the stable branch but don't want to lose my long game since I have managed to scrape together a load of jade gold and uranium to do stuff with along with a ton of silver.

the game is unplayable though just because of the nuisance of the script box popping up repeatedly.

I can give a save game file if you need, but I am not sure it will do much since I have a feeling this is somewhat related to my laptop. I would really like to know if me switching branches will delete my save game files though, since I know it did when you switched from 14-15 and 15-16.

Thanks in advance and to moderator lmk if you want me to get a save game file for you.

The output.log from the RimWorld1393Win_Data folder will help a lot here, you really shouldnt be on the A16 unstable version anymore, moving off shouldnt break anything as its the same version of the game i think, check the top left corner of main menu for the version if your current game is 1393 youre fine to update.

Just switched out of the experimental******** not development* branch, so I doubt it fixes my problem, I had another game I played that called their experiemental branch the development branch.

Believe it or not the performance is better now, and the development scripts are not popping up now. Weird if they are the same exact game files, or maybe just maybe restarting the game the 3rd time specifically fixes the issue...

Ty again for the response skully

No worries, the logfile would have given the game away as to what the problem was though.

I didn't see the other message, and am trying to give you the output log as we speak, I am in Rimworld_data and output_log is what you wanrt?

I have about 3-5 minutes of game play after the problem though

yup thats the file, if you saw the error in the last session its in that log file. If you started a new session it might not be in there, worth a look either way.

I'm not sure if the attachment is there, theres a link that says clear attachment but I see nothing on this page that shows me I have attached anything (sorry I am a noob when it comes to this stuff, finding the output log was hard enough)

I don't see it in preview, is there an email address I can send it to?

on the reply page theres an attachments section click choose file button and find the file on your machine, put some text in the reply box (just ciz) and the hit post

yea I am 100% sure that I am trying to put the output log in the "attach" area, when I click open that file it flashes and nothing happens. but I have the attachment area, and have the file located.

oh, on second notice, this file is 37 kb over the max.... That explains why it isn't attaching
