Yes, the picture above is what I meant. At this point because of the behavior of the tool (and other programs maybe) I would do a temp file cleaning on your computer. Folders that need to be cleaned are: C:\[USERS]\[YOUR COMPUTER ACCOUNT NAME]\Appdata\Temp C:\Windows\Temp Note that not all files/folders in the folders above can be deleted, in this case leave them there but delete what can be deleted. After this, restart your computer, run the tool and see if it fixes it.
Thk you for the proposal, I often do a complete TEMP cleanup using CCleaner. It didn't change anything. I suspect that there's a sort of flaw into the software code which make a loop somewhere, thus increasing the memory usage. If I could I'd wish to help the developer who did it, but it's beyond my tools and software computing knowledge.
LOL ! You're right.... Perharps it's a memory from my java coding lessons and practice, but today I'm mostly on MS SQL coding. I meant that since the program was never ending running and increasing memory usage, PERHARPS there's a error that is not catched and create a infinite loop. As I don't know in which language (C++ ?) he did his tool I can't figure how far the dev has to take into account windows specifications or operating system ! I'd like to see a sort of log file.... The same as I do when modding empyrion files, which enable me to see where the error occures and what config file modif is responsible. Do you know if the Dev of the tool reads our comments ? It could be useful if he could make a log report, if not too complicated.
Could you please check a couple of things? 1. Is the game closed when you use the tool or at the title screen? 2. Could you please verify permissions on the folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\Saves\Games" (or the folder where the games are located)? Thank you.
It could be, but if it's so, it's something very rare and it seems to happen in a specific environment because I've tested it against multiple SOs. Even @Myrmidon tested it on Linux with no issues, I guess (correct me if I'm wrong). The only occasion I made the tool hang like you're experiencing is when the game was open and the target saved game was loaded. That would happen because the tool couldn't read the database as it was already in use by the game. Could you post a small video capture of the moment the issue is happening please? Thank you.
Just for academic purposes. I tested the exact scenario you mentioned in Linux and the tool worked fine. The target game was loaded while I did the copy. Of course the BA was not there, I had to exit the target game only and reloaded it again, and boom the copied BA was above the player's head!!! No fault messages by the tool, no hangs no crashes no eternal stuck or anything. The tool did its job......in Linux, I have to insist in this detail.
Hi, Thk for tips and inquiring : 1) I must have used it on the main title, and from memory it was working fine on windows 7. I just did it with the game fully closed and it changed nothing. 2) I checked the authorizations as mentionned and to be sure set others than admin with write/modifs rights, but it did nothing. I have an admin account.
That would be my suspicion, yes. If it happens with any ship/base and any source/target saved game, it's most likely to be the tool not being able to read or write either the folders where the entity is located or the game's database. @El_Globo Thank you for the reply and the file. I will add a log file as by your suggestion so we can track down this issue.
@El_Globo could you please try out this 0.7.0 version and then send me the log file in that same folder? Thanks.
Hi, First of all, thk you for your effort. This is very interesting (for me and my understanding of the problem) : 2 methods : Launching the new version directly on the exe generated a log file. Launching it from a shortcut on my desktop didn't generated a log file, but I guess this is only because you did it just for my purpose. I'm just telling that if you wish to implement it for others. BUT : When I tried it I got a blue warning screen from Windows defender telling me it was a unrecognized program and thus was blocked for security reasons. Of course I bypassed this #### and you guessed it, it worked fine ! After that I did a few more tests and one time the defender screen showed up again and not the others. But I'm not sure if I just deleted the first exe and re extracted it from my downloaded zip. Have to test. ANYWAY : the fact is that I never had a single defender screen on the previous version 0.6.9 and I'm sure I have deleted it and reinstalled it into my game directory. But I have realized tonight that I had first on my desktop a full 0.6.9 exe and not a shortcut, because after having extracted the v 0.7.0 in my game directory and clicked on my desktop it was still indicated 0.6.9... I thought that I had made a shortcut as I did usually. So I guess that my previous deleting and reinstalling of 0.6.9 into my game directory could have worked if I did correctly a suppression and a reinstall of a new game and clicked on the right new instance. I guess that it would had triggered the windows defender warning I didn't had because I was clicking on a false program migrated from windows migration tool. I still don't understand while I never had a security warning onto the old program, but I won't complain as Microsoft tool did a super work for 99.99% of my windows 7 config. It would have been a nightmare if I had to reinstall a full new version. I hope my explanations are clear, as I'm french and not fully fluent in english. Anyway thk you for the new version, it triggered the windows defender alert I wouldn't have detected otherwise. By curiosity, I will look further deeper into Windows Defender if I can see something, because I checked my antivirus and found nothing...
@El_Globo Thank you for the feedback and for your tests. I was suspicious of something like that because it recently happened to me when an application I've always used suddenly wouldn't start at all in Windows 10. It seems there should have been a notification somewhere but I never saw any. Same as you. Glad it worked. Thanks again for letting me know.
After that I checked each program authorization in Windows defender and I have seen Empyrion but not clearly your application. At the beginning of the list there was like two entries listed as a registry key adress. Logically your program should be there, but as you developed it, perharps it hasn't a clear name like empyrionsavegametool and is one of the unclear names. Just tell you that if it happens for other guys, or if you want to "name it". Once more thank you, the search was far from the actual use of your tool for me (now, since I don't play long game until empyrion get polished and improved). Just for joke and the record, after that success I did another try on the LAST program that I couldn't reinstall : PAINTSHOPPRO X2. I finally managed to find that it was a f###ck service that adobe launched at the end of the installation which did not end. So switching off the automatic launch of this s##t was a success too. I hate beeing stuck by these annoyances ! Fly safe !
Does anyone know if the SaveGame Tool by byo30 will still work for the latest version without corrupting a save?
Just a heads up, I'm trying to use this tool with v1.8.15 (100% CPU problem is keeping me from running 1.9). I got a syntax error when I tried to do the copy. It was in a popup and had "There was an error while trying to attach source database to target database. near 's': syntax error".
