Gigabytes of Crashdumps

Open Vexthecollector opened this issue 3 years ago • 8 comments

I just had to delete about 10gb of crashdumps. 10 times crashing, 1gb of data created each time.

That seems highly excessive and I don't think such logs should be created unless the user specifically enables it, because it can easily bloat the appdata folder, without a user knowing why it happens.

Can you give more details about your modlist, which mod manager are you using and which folders the logs are being created on?

Crashdumps generated in appdata folder isnt done by us. Our crashdumps would have been in the SkyrimTogetherReborn folder, tho this has been disabled.

\AppData\Local\CrashDumps was the folder where the crashdumps were created.

But it sounds like that is not where Skyrim Together creates it crashdumps, from the other reply. Name of the file SkyrimTogether.exe.338736.dmp So I thought it was being created by skyrimtogether.

That's Windows creating those crashdumps, not us.

@RobbeBryssinck According to your link, that's not on by default, and looking at the registry keys doesn't show Skyrim Together or Skyrim Special Edition as a configured dump. So I believe this is something else.

I also have exactly 10 crashdumps at 1Gb each. I'm not sure if this is a coincidence.

Can confirm, although I only have 2 dumps at 1GB each.

Can also confirm. I have 7 dumps at 1GB each. The most recent 2 were created (1) when I legitimately crashed and (2) when I exited the game intentionally by qqq in the console. I can't seem to replicate though.

Also had several crash dumps of varying sizes in gigabytes with MO2 in these folders: C:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\ModOrganizer\Skyrim Special Edition\crashDumps and C:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\crashDumps
