Okay, I am a idiot

Post by 2ndAcr »

About 2 weeks ago, I updated my video drivers. Shortly after that out MP games started huge massive lags and then freezes. I also started seeing some weird displays in game graphic wise. Then out of the blue SOW failed to even load the launcher.

I did a complete system restore to prior of the update, then did a full uninstall and re-install of SOW and all the add on's. Game runs perfectly in MP now, yet I have noticed that my new install is not generating any of the MP logs at all. Only log it shows is the SOWGB text log. Prior to restore and re-install, every game generated a log and such.

What did I break this time? I even ran a full hard drive search for the file names of the logs including hidden files, no joy.

You probably have to edit your SOWGB.ini file and add the Debug lines.

[Debug]
MPLog=1
DbgLvl=1

Wonder why a fresh install would make me do that. Oh well, guess just add those in at the bottom somewhere? No particular place or order?

If you did a complete fresh install (deleting the game directory) then the INI file would have been deleted too. Those lines aren't there by default, you have to add them. They can be added anywhere, top, bottom, but I usually have mine under the options section.

I removed everything, was not taking any chances at all, was just wondering why I had them in my previous install and not the 2nd one. One of my buds has them being generated from a original install. But oh well, I will add those in.

Thanks guys

When you install GCM it turns MP logging on automatically. It's not enabled on a fresh SOW install.
