The Game spammed my Temp folder with .pngs named Test####

[Kiro]

I had to delete my Temp folder today to get rid of some windows issue.
While deleting it would suddenly take up to an hour because I'd start deleting these files named "Test1101". This went up until "Test77123".

I have a backup on my PC of my entire User and found these files inside the "rec" folder.

For some reason during one of my playthroughs it created thousands of these small 420 x 420 png files.
One of them has 1.191.751 files and has a Size of 6.82 GB.

Putting this here for a Developer to look into?

So sorry about this, we have this on our bug list and the devs are looking into it.

If it happens again, it'd be really helpful if you could send your player log to [e-mail]. The log only contains information on your latest game session so make sure to get the log right after the issue happens.

You can find the log here:

1. Press and hold the Windows key and the letter R on your keyboard
   
2. Type appdata into the prompt that appears
   
3. Then navigate to LocalLow\Landfall Games\Content Warning > locate the file called “Player” and send it to [e-mail]

Thank you for the quick response, I have sent your support mail the requested file.

I've had just one two hour playsession with this game and and also had an insane amount of those pngs in my temp. Numbers got hundreds thousands and in size are probably nearing 10 gigs.

I also was having a windows problem, where my login time for windows is like 15 minutes the day after i played this game. The "welcome" screen stays on forever. That's why i'm deleting the temp files to see if it something from there.

I'm not sure if it's related.

Oh it was related alright. The problem i had for 2-3 days with the long boot was instantly solved after i cleared the whole temp folder. This problem occurred only after installing and playing this game. The next very next day when i started up the computer after turning it off at night.

Why i think the game caused this:
- I didn't do anything else that day that was different
- System restore point did not fix this
- Safe mode also had this really long boot.
- I have no hardware issues. Everything else worked.
- Clearing the temp was the only thing that fixed it. And the only odd thing there was these test-pngs.

Edit addon: Oh, the final file-amount of my temp folder was around 1,6 million files. I don't know how much was from the game, but it was the almost all of the delete-dialog.

Mine has a ton of folders with one random little picture in each of them. What are these for?

That's a lot of pictures.. sorry about that! But thank you for telling us. We're looking into what may cause this.

And these are in the Temp folder? Sorry about it, we hope to look into this soon.

That explains why I had the same issue then. Yes, it's the reason why I even came to make this topic. The game spammed the Temp folder so bad that I couldn't log into my windows account. Ended up creating a new Account on my PC to backup and copy my old account. Saw all of those "Test" pngs while deleting them.

This is still an issue. I had the same experience as you after a long play session last night. Was completely unable to log into my Windows account because of this. I didn't know why it happened until I was transferring all the files over and discovered the obscene amount of PNG files. It appears it makes one for every single frame of the recording.

Same issue here, I have 3 million files and my welcome screen takes 7 minutes. Just spent the entire day trying to find out why.
