Hi, not an issue actually, just want to ask if is there any way to disable xenia.log generating or make it less aggressive, some games generate log file that sizes a few Gb Thanks

[Razzile]

i thought it didn't generate logs unless you told it to? as for making them less aggressive i'm not sure

You can disable XE_OPTION_ENABLE_LOGGING macro in logging.h and rebuild.

I noticed that the Emucr builds that many people are using generate logs automatically (no parameter needed).

[Razzile]

it seems xenia now generates logs automatically. I might submit a pull request to revert to old logging method or maybe a gflag to disable logging (if benvanik doesn't do it himself)

[Xcedf]

It would be nice

Happens even with Release build. Bad idea!

@Razzile Are you going to submit that PR?

[Razzile]

@Margen67 probably not for a while, in the middle of exams

[Margen67]

~~This is possible with --log_file=stdout~~ nvm, this doesn't completely disable it

[Razzile]

worth noting this is not a full solution as if xenia is launched from command line logs will still be output there

[raycekar]

Just a thought, why not move that as an option in xenia.config.toml

Open log with notepad. Ctrl+A [highlight all text]. Delete. Ctrl+S [Save file]. Now right-click log and select properties. Check the "Read-Only" option and click Apply and/or OK. There.. Log now doesn't write and it doesn't take up any space.
