Main log is huge almost a gig?

Post by jack54 »

Hi I noticed the main log is very large; never saw this before... I checked other Ageod games including TYW usually a few hundred kb.

1.1 gig for me. Apparently it contains an important error message & history but I can't even open it with word or note-pad, let alone Email it to anyone!

The main log file should not be this big IMHO.... I'm surprised no one from tech support has responded. I can't open it either.

Could this be slowing things down?... The weakest link in my system is actually the speed of the hard drive.

i'm uninstalling and doing a non standard install, so installing it outside of the default Program Files (x86) folder and seeing if that helps.

tech support has to try and recreate the problem to make a solution for it first, but they will reply, they always do, same as the developers etc

Only the developers can help with this issue with the size of the !Main Log file.
We should have a normal size without having to activate the debug function in the Options.

Philippe Thibaut's solution:

"My 2cents about the issue is may in General.opt file, Log Batch section. I see that

// how many log lines should be written at once. Can slow down significatively the app & hosting if below 10.
LogBatch = 10

But in most other (faster) Ageod games, we have

// how many log lines should be written at once. Can slow down significatively the app & hosting if below 10.
LogBatch = 250"

Thanks Miguel I changed the LogBatch number but it doesn't seem to effect the main log size. [&:]
