Hey darthphysicist, I think what I found is,
I have some mods in that I have been testing on this server prior to setting up the live server.
I have IQoL loaded and I read where there was an issue where the game would randomly drop the player name (I think this only happens if you change your character name, unsure). Anyway, On Exiled Lands, I get the error and it begins to consume the server resources. The exact same mod list in Siptah, triggers no error after a couple hours of play time. The exact same mod list in Savage Wilds, does not trigger the error after a couple hours of play time. So my thinking is, something has happened in the game that has been saved in the Exiled Lands Play through game.db.
So looking at mods that actually touch the player - I had 2. Improved Quality of Life and Level to 140 by Multigun. Removing them both and starting the game, the error continues on Exiled Lands. Due to I think, the game has already lost my character reference. Now, putting both mods back in and starting the game, same thing error continues. So I at this point am stumped as to what could be causing this.
Then while reading the workshop pages, and still having the IQoL comment from the authors, that it randomly loses character names, I thought how do I force the game to regognize my character. So I added the Multi Character mod as a hail mary, since it forces you to log into a specific character.
Once I logged into the game with the Multi Character mod installed, no other mods removed, the error immediately stopped. I have been watching the log file, logging in and out of Exiled Lands, and have not had the error trigger again so far.
I can not say exactly what caused the error, I can not say what exactly fixed it.
All I can say is, it randomly showed up on a game play through where I had changed the player character name.
If you can follow my logic, which I suck at explaining what I did and am doing, lol, maybe you can see something I missed or point me at something else.
All I can say for certain is, that forcing the player to log into a specific character, fixed it for me… so far. :slight_smile:
