No Log to be found, chasing a CTD

Hi,

I have 2.3 installed on my W10 PC, it's working fine.
Recently, on my Romani Campaign, I keep getting HUGE lag when attacking a settlement with a reinforcing army.
I tried to lower my settings (same settings I use on SS6.4 without any problem), but the lag kept growing.

Note that there is NO LAG whatsoever when having a field battle with the high settings.
I quit and restarted te game and hope the mag would disappear, but I kept getting a graphics error on the battle loading screen.


I have these settings in my cfg file:

[log]to = mods\ebii\logs\eb.system.log.txt
#level = * trace
level = * error

And my log file was empty, no log was saved.

I then changed the setting to:
[log]to = mods\ebii\logs\eb.system.log.txt
level = * trace

But still no log is saved.

Why is that? I can't trace the CTD if no log is saved.

Thanks.

1) The controlling file is mods\EBII\ebii.cfg

The log file section looks like this:

Code: [View]

[log] 
to = mods/ebii/logs/eb.system.log.txt 
level = * error					## generates a smaller error log file. Use this setting during normal gameplay
#level = * trace				## Currently disabled. Generates a large error log file. Use this setting when tracking down a CTD

The default is "error" which is the smaller file, change it as follows to get the larger file:

Code: [View]

#level = * error	
level = * trace

2) And the log file is deposited in this folder: mods\EBII\logs

Indeed I have the configuration correct, but didn't even get the small error file.

I'll try the to get the larger file.

I had the same issue and it turned out the log was being generated in the M2TW folder, not in the mods\ebii one. I fixed this pasting the log file section "code" above of the ebii.cfg into the medieval2preference.cfg file in the M2TW main folder. Hope that helps.
