Hey there Miskoosi!

Thanks for letting us know about your findings on the very large error log you encountered, we're sorry to hear this has caused some issues.

In this case, since the file is very large to be sent over, would it be possible for you to open it (Preferably with notepad++ or VB studio if you have it, to get through the inevitable loading lag) and check for any repeated lines of error you can send us? No need to send a large amount of text, just any line or two you noticed is the bulk of the error spam.

If the 26GB error.txt log does not cooperate, we would also recommend trying to check for any other large error files that might be easier to open and check. Those repeated errors that show up inside the logs would be of great help to understand what is currently creating those humongous log files!

Once again, thank you for your contribution and we look forward to hearing back from you!

Couldn't read the 26gb one, but I started up the same save and let it run for a few years. It reproduced the error log at a readable size (5gb). The most repeated line by millions is:

[02:28:56][jomini_script_system.cpp:262]: Script system error!
Error: owns_entire_state_region trigger [ Wrong scope for trigger: state, expected country ]
Script location: file: common/scripted_triggers; european_colonies_west_africa line: 13 file: common/achievements/standard_achievments.txt line: 403

The "line:" values change a little but is mostly repeated.

Thank you so much for getting the string sent over!

Indeed SchwarzKatze is correct, the error has been confirmed and documented in the thread mentioned, and should be resolved hopefully when the next patch drops.

That being said, we hope you have an awesome day!
