database.log????????????/

[Ghiaman1334]

I've heard for some problems, including the game showing a 'start game' message and then resetting to main menu, that I might be missing files in 'database.log', which I have no idea what it is, so how to I find and inspect it? Also what do I do about my problem?

The log files are simply text files were the game outputs messages about what's going on behind the scenes, including error messages when a mod goes wrong. You can open them in any text editor.

Your problem is most likely caused because one of the mods you're using is broken, or is interfering with another mod you're using in such a way that they break each other. So the solution is to figure out which mod that is, and turn it off.

Error messages in Log files may help you figure out which mod is causing the problem, but if you don't understand what they're saying don't worry about them. Just turn your mods off one at a time until you find the problem by process of elimination.

Thank you, I found this helpful and now I can start games. However now I have the remaining problem of not being able to load games. Do I just continue shutting off mods until I can or not?
