  1. Game can't generate a log file?


    Hello!


    I play 7 days to die via steam. Its an early access game. I've copied the 7 Days To Die folder from steam and put it on another drive D: and run it from there. For sometime now the game Single Player won't generate a log file; and this happens with the 'vanilla' version via steam and the copy I put on the D: drive. I've tried swimming through the file/folder permissions but I still can't get it to write the log file.

    If I run the 'dedicatedserver.bat' file - it will write the log file - but that's for the dedicated server and not single player. One thing I noticed too is that the dedicated server log file will stop after sometime which is unusual.


    I talked with those at 7 Days to Die and they said that it should, then recommended that I try adding the command: "-logfile" to a shortcut for the app. So I right clicked on 7DaysToDie.exe -> Selected: "Create Shortcut" and then clicked on its properties and in the shortcut tab - under Target: I added the -logfile at the end. Still doesn't work. In the shortcut properties under the Compatibility tab I clicked on "Run this program as administrator" but nope, still doesn't work. The game has a launcher where you can put additional parameters 2nd place they said to add it and nope, still doesn't work. I tried all that with the version installed by steam and that doesn't work either.


    So - I know that the game will write a log file if run from a batch file - but it will stop writing after sometime. The game can not write a log file as it is... But it used to before.

    :)

    Saves log files ?

    You can either read the files in Windows or my preferred method is.....

    Download CCcleaner from here...........

    CCleaner Professional | Try the world’s most trusted PC cleaner, free!

    You can then run cleaner, you will see the log files listed, then if you right click you can save as a text file and then have a read. You may also get an "error reporting" log listed seperatly.

    Game can't generate a log file?

    Generating a .txt based file list in Windows 7

    I want to be able to generate a .txt file that lists all the files and folders in a specific folder on my PC, but don't know the name of any programs that do that. Searched on google a bit and came up with this guide, but it's for XP and I can't seem to find some of the folder options to modify the .bat file. Any suggestions? Thanks

    http://www.theeldergeek.com/file_list_generator.htm

    EDIT: The .bat file will do what I want if it is in the folder I want to do it in, but the option I want to add is having the right click option that it shows.
