Possible crash fix
« on: January 20, 2005, 10:22:08 pm »
If you experience a crash when loading a world or just logging in it may help to delet psclient.txt.... mine was over 10mb in size and even heard ppl that had one that was 24mb

how do you know if you delete it fixes it? Not that i doubt you or anything. And how does it change size?

My PSClient.txt is 12.8mb - it seems to be a log of all the actions performed, that fail? Wow, that\'d sure slow down the game a bit, recording everything, and running it in \"debug\" mode. :D

Another thing I found, \"csdebug-MS WINDOWS CLIENT.txt\" in my windows\\temp directory, is about 500kb, and has thousands of lines of:
crystalspace.font.freefont2:  Could not open fontfile /fonts/ttf/Vera.ttf!

It seems to add about 20 or 80(guess) lines every time I run the updater, or the game.

Deleting that file was also a big space-saver during Molecular Blue, I think I once removed that file when it had 350 MB so stop complaining ;)
Out of a gut-feeling I\'d say it doesn\'t fix crashes if you delete it (since the application only writes to it and never reads it), but it certainly can\'t hurt either. :)

Wrong.

In release mode (all?) CS apps normaly log to a file instead of the console (which is never created in release mode). This file is good to have when you want to have an error solved and we need it, so don\'t make it an habbit to remove it
