game.log.txt help

#1 Post by chrisagreat » 21 Sep 2017 21:08

is there a way to increase the game.log.txt file size? I get so many warnings and misc errors that by the time any crash happens there is no more space in the log and I get this in return

********** The log file exceeded its limit size, truncated.

why is it capped at 1mb, and can it be changed??? I'd really like 10-15mb... I usually play for 6-10hrs in a session and this hinders figuring out why I'm crashing, and I'd just like a log long enough for me to scroll through after sessions.

Any help? Thx!

There is a game parameter "-unlimitedlog". That should do the trick.

If there was no limit, users with very limited disk drive capacity would become upset if a savegame couldn't be written because the drive is full. Most users don't even know about the existence of the log.

do I put that in the steam game properties tab? and in the age of gigs and tb's the 1mb just makes me laugh a little, I understand why it's there. and for a file that overwrites itself every game start. if it was adding to a log that'd be another story all together Thanks!

Enter the Steam client, select the game, right click it, choose "Properties". In the opening window you will find a "SET LAUNCH OPTIONS..." button, click it. Now you can add the parameter "-unlimitedlog" - without the quotation marks.

If you are getting that many errors that the log truncates maybe it would be a good idea to start by working on those fixing those warnings/errors or removing the mods causing them.

In all likelihood the mod[s] causing the log warnings and errors are the same one[s] causing the crashes.

I am using a bunch of 1.6 trailers and other older mods because I can't find updated counterparts, that's where most the errors are but I don't know how to fix warnings and stuff in mods :( I wish I did, also, the game log doesn't say which mod is causing the problems, making finding the culprit and fixing them harder for me (like I said I don't know much). I do try to load only a couple mods ever trip to help identify any issues in the new mods that helps me a bit and reading where the error occured I go hunting in all the .scs files for that location and then delete the .scs files, I'd love to know how to fix mods, I want to fix the enhanced t680 mod by td (not active in modloader) it crashes because it has conflict issues, but it looks so cool, t680 is my favorite truck.
