thiosk Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Hello, I don't have a fully clean game install, as I've been using a couple of mods. Nevertheless, I have found a semirecurring hangup in game. This causes the game to run frozen for quite some time and be unresponsive, however, the music will play, and eventually, it will recover and work correctly. Checking the log_5.txt file in the debug, I found : 17-10-23 01:27:23.637] ERROR: General , 1697520443637> SpriteRenderer$RingBuffer.next> Buffer overrun.. This usually lasts 5-10 minutes and then the game starts again and i exit. It seems to happen mostly in longer games. I shut down the mod (a cheat menu that i used to use for clearing disasters) as the game was taking abnormally long to load, and I followed a guide to increase the ram utilization on the projectzomboid32.json file per some googling, any suggestions or insight for this spriterenderer error would be appreaciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Likely caused by mods, did you manage to replicate it with all the mods disabled? The cheat menu mod is fine to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thiosk Posted October 19, 2023 Author Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) thanks beard, it was only the cheat menu and the necroforge mod, both disabled, and the hangups still occur randomly it hasn't crimped my style because ive been mostly powerleveling the exercise... but if it happened in combat it would almost certainly result in death Edited October 19, 2023 by thiosk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Just to check for anything else, can you share your logs.zip file found in C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thiosk Posted October 20, 2023 Author Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) you got it! thanks For context after disabling the two mods in question I quested once more, and suffered hangups every few minutes edit: of course the weird buffer overflow error i noted appears aabsent but i leave it to you to identify weirdness. strangly, the pauses would happen doing things like cooking, exercising, or even after pressing escape and tabbing away for a while to tab back and find it frozen. But waiting always lets it pick back up. I've seen this before but its never been clear what was precipitating it, but it occurs to me it usually happens in longer lived worlds. I'm currently at 3 months in cheers logs.zip Edited October 20, 2023 by thiosk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thiosk Posted October 20, 2023 Author Share Posted October 20, 2023 Heres a second log file. I played uninterrupted for an hour then a hangup lasted an hour. However, I think it might have been an issue with hardware. I was hearing usb connect/disconnect periodically (i've ignored it) but trusting a hunch i started unplugging hardware. I unplugged the keyboard and BOOM the game continued just fine. Thus i think its a hardware conflict interacting with the game in a weird way. I have a corsair keyboard with fancy memory buttons logs.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Thanks, the logs themselves look perfectly fine without any errors. Driver seem up to date, hardware is also fine, so I cannot find anything wrong with the game itself. The input issue would be a good lead, do you perhaps have any Corsair software running in the background? Maybe that may be causing the issues with the game instead of the keyboard itself. I assume the software is needed to configure the memory buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thiosk Posted October 20, 2023 Author Share Posted October 20, 2023 doesnt seem to be, but the constant connect/disconnect on this old keyboard coinciding with the issue seems to be the origin rather than the game thanks for examining things for me. im shopping for new mech keyboards now appreciate the support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeahcoolcoolbro Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Gonna add RMA that keyboard if you can, If not don't buy corsair keyboards, they are so bad. I've had 2 break on me, with the money you shell out for a nice mechanical keyboard like that it should last more than a year. Sadly no recommendations other than building your own if you want something that lasts and you can repair as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
